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!

Whenever a frigid cold wintery day comes upon us, I find myself seeking the comfort of warm soup, chili or a delicious pot pie. This past weekend was one of those weekends in London, Ontario. I came across a veggie pot pie recipe on the Playing House website and agreed with everything the author had to say about the comforts of food to spending a lazy weekend day in the kitchen myself or with Andre. This particular weekend Andre and I spent Saturday afternoon in the kitchen making this delicious recipe. I hope you also enjoy!

Through recent inspiration (let’s blame Jesse over at beansandtoast.com) I decided to make a quick and easy Korma dish, but was tired of the usual chicken that we normally eat in Indian food. So instead I got some veggies, coconut milk and korma paste together and created a lovely vegetarian dish that tasty is and filling!
Read on for details, we also included a picture of the brand of korma paste we used (you know, for reference….)

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.
Read on for my haphazardly pieced together recipe!

I recently hosted a little dinner party at our place and I went scouring the internet looking for a novel idea for appetizers. Well, I managed to find just the thing on the Adaptions Blog and decided I had to try my hand at these. I found I had some issues at first with the thin cucumber slices, but a few slices in and I was a champ!

We recently made some fresh shrimp rolls, a la thai, and we had left over veggies and vermicelli rice noodles. I blame it on my over zealousness while preparing the dish, but it certainly did work out in the end! Sometimes the best meals are made of leftover items.
This dish is entirely my creation, so beware, but it turned better than I could imagine. Fresh veggies, herbs seafood and a lovely sauce makes this a tasty appetizer for a dinner party! Grab my loosely defined instructions after the jump and get creating!

Beautiful summer weather has been upon us and that means one thing: time to fire up the barbque or the electric barbque.
