It seems like its been ages since I’ve posted a recipe! EEK!
Anywho….Melanie isn’t a big fan of soya sauce, and it goes without saying that she’s also not a fan of your typical Teriyaki stir fry sauce. Over the years I thought she just didn’t like stir frys, but it turns out it was the sauce’s fault all along! Shame on you sub par sauce! So with my resolve in hand and some creative kitchen engineering, I whipped up a fresh batch of homemade stir fry sauce! If you’re looking for quite possibly the lightest, tastiest stir fry sauce you’ve ever tried, look no further my friend!
Full recipe after the break!

This is a quick recipe that is tasty, simple and refreshing. Pair it up with some delicious tortilla chips, salsa and beer and you’ve got the makings of a classy Sunday NFL football party. The recipe includes a packet of seasoning from Simply Organic, a seasoning we’ve come to love and won’t make Guacamole without. I’ve included a picture of the packaging after the jump!

We sometimes have hearty vegetables laying around the house, well, in the fridge I suppose, and what better way to make use of them than to make a delightfully refreshing chunky greek salad. This traditional recipe is spiced up with some sundried-tomato infused olive oil for dressing and some freshly dried mediterranean herbs.

My partner and I received the most amazing gift ever for our Commitment Ceremony – a Kitchen Aid Mixer! Since then, all I’ve wanted to do is bake, and I’ve been looking for every possible excuse. This weekend was no exception. My partner and I were invited to a Brisket and Beans BBQ, which was delicious, and I thought a nice compliment to the meat would be a light fruit dish. My search for such a dish led me to ‘Christine’s Corners’ website, which is were I found the ‘Peach Melba Clafoutis’ recipe. This recipe is absolutely amazing – so simple, with a custard filling goodness in the centre. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as the guests at the BBQ did!

Steak Chipotle Mayo Sandwich
I had an impromptu day off today (lightning damaged our transformer at the office) so I thought I would take the time to make a simple yet tasty sandwich for lunch. I love a little heat in my dishes, and that was the goal of the tasty mayo I whipped up. Melanie loved it too!

Jerk Tilapia with Caramelized Peaches
Tilapia is by far our household’s favorite fish. It’s cheap, meaty and deliciously nutty! I decided to add a carribean twist to our pan seared tilapia, and while I was making it, thought it could use something sweet and refreshing to balance out the heat. I spotted a peach in the corner of my eye and instantly I knew that was the ticket!

We recently had a Caribbean cookout, as some might say ‘Bachannal’, the weather was hot and the drinks were cold: Perfect for a caribbean day full of food! This salsa originally called for habanero peppers, a full cup of them, but their rarity in Southern Ontario made it rather difficult to find, so I used hot yellow peppers. (Recipe adapted from 28 cooks). Add the sweetness of the pineapple and you’ve got a medium spicy salsa that is addictive!

During lunch today, a coworker brought up Indian food and I couldn’t stop thinking about. So, by the time I got home – I needed some Indian food. However, I did not want to go to the grocery store and I needed some food in my stomach within the next half hour. That’s when I decided to do some searching for a recipe. Low and behold, I found an incredibly simple recipe that was ready to be eaten in 15 minutes. If you’re looking for a quick weekday meal, look no further – I have found it for you. To make this a complete meal, I would suggest adding some rice, such as Basmati rice. Enjoy!!
