Parmesan Crusted Pesto Tilapia with Roasted Tomatoes

0 komentar

After making the summery version of the parmesan crusted pesto tilapia bruschetta I could not help but think to update this fall/winter version. The only difference between these recipes is that the summer version uses beautiful fresh ripe tomatoes but when they are not available this version works better, roasting the tomatoes to help concentrate and bring out more of their flavour. This dish could...

4 Cheese Hot Roasted Red Pepper Dip

0 komentar

The markets have been filled with red peppers these past few weeks and I picked up a rather large basket of them for roasting! I like to make my own roasted red peppers because it is so easy, cheap and good! They keep well in the freezer so I freeze a lot of them for use throughout the winter but I could not resist using a few and this roasted red pepper dip has been on my mind for a while now....

Maple-Miso Dijon Salmon

0 komentar

Maple dijon, a variation of honey dijon, is such a nice, easy and amazingly tasty flavour combo that goes great on so many things including meats like chicken and fish and vegetables like green beans, asparagus and even brussels sprouts, but my favourite way to enjoy it is on silky smooth salmon. Although the basic maple and dijon combo is great I often like to change things up with additions like...

Esquites Quinoa Salad with Avocado

0 komentar

One of the best ways to enjoy corn is right from the cob and one of my favourite ways to do that is Mexican style, aka elote, where the corn is covered in butter, mayo, cotija cheese, a squirt of lime and a touch of chili pepper. Of course you can easily cut the corn from the cob and if you do that with elote you get esquites, a Mexican style corn salad which I also like a lot! Quinoa is often on...

Creamy Pesto Caprese Pasta Casserole

0 komentar

With the cooler weather here I don't have to worry about the heat that having the oven on will create and that means that things like casseroles are back on the menu! Since the tomatoes and basil is still around I took advantage of the opportunity to make a 'caprese' pasta casserole with some fresh tomatoes and basil pesto; along with plenty of melted mozzarella of course! This recipe is super simple...

Grilled Corn, Roasted Poblano and Bacon Zucchini Crust Pizza

0 komentar

Who can tell what my favourite new recipe was this summer? You guessed it, the zucchini pizza crust, and I could not resist getting one more in while the zucchini was still around. I have really been enjoying the zucchini and corn combo this year and I had one more idea for pizza using them, this time using a spicy salsa verde as the pizza 'sauce' along with some roasted poblano peppers and smoked...

Pesto Caprese Omelette

0 komentar

With summer quickly coming to an end I have been trying to enjoy it as much as I can and recently I have been focusing on the fresh field ripened tomatoes and basil. The other day I realized that I was not making the most of the summer produce with my breakfasts and that led to the idea of these pesto caprese omelettes! The basic idea was to take all of the ingredients of a caprese salad including...

Hot Cheesy Corn Dip

0 komentar

Corn is in season and I certainly have been enjoying it! In addition to trying out new recipes with corn I have also been making some old favourites and one that I cannot stop making over and over again is this hot cheesy corn dip adapted from Emeril Lagass's recipe! Since I was making the dip anyways I figured that I would take the opportunity to update the 5 year old photo on this recipe with...

Eggplant Pizzas

0 komentar

After making the cauliflower pizza crust and the zucchini pizza crust the next vegetable up was eggplant! Instead of following in the footsteps of his predecessors I wanted to go another route with the eggplant pizzas keeping things nice ans simple and just using eggplant slices as the crust of the pizzas. These eggplant pizzas are really easy to make, you simply slice the eggplant and roast or...

Ceviche

0 komentar

The other day I was at a Mexican restaurant where I enjoyed an amazing ceviche which made me realize that I had never actually made ceviche at home and that is a shame considering how easy it is to make and how absolutely good it is. Ceviche is a dish that is common in Central and South America where fish is 'cooked' in a marinade of citrus juices like lemon, lime, sour orange, etc., onion, chili...

Mushroom and Kale Lasagna Roll Ups in Creamy Gorgonzola Cauliflower Sauce

0 komentar

I have been seeing cute lasagna roll-ups around the internet for a while now and I have been wanting to try making some. The lasagna roll-ups are basically just lasagna where instead of layering everything you place the filling on top of the noodles and then roll the noodles up, top them with the sauce and cheese and bake them. I knew exactly what I wanted to do for my lasagna roll-ups, a mushroom...

50 Late Summer Recipes

0 komentar

Summer may almost be over but there is still plenty of great late summer produce around including some of my favourites like tomatoes, eggplant, red peppers, corn, cauliflower, broccoli and green beans. In addition to all of the summer produce we already have some fall items showing up including apples, pears and winter squash so we are quite literally spoiled for choice these days! It was really...

Summer Vegetable Quinoa Burrito Bowls with Corn, Zucchini and Black Beans

0 komentar

While I was enjoying the summer vegetable bibimbap for breakfasts last week I could not help but think about how similar bibimbap is to burrito bowls. They are bowl rice bowls filled with meats and/or vegetables and a spicy sauce, in one case a gachujang sauce and in the other case a salsa. With that thought I had to try burrito bowls with the same late summer produce including zucchini, corn, black...

Chipotle Peach Salsa Quesadillas

0 komentar

Summer isn't gone just yet and I have been enjoying its bounty while it lasts! One thing that I have been really into lately is fruit based salsas and with all of the amazing fresh peaches around these days a peach salsa was definitely on the menu. I kept the peach salsa nice and simple with fresh diced peaches, red pepper, onion, cilantro lime and some chipotle chilies for smoky heat. Although...

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Greek Yogurt Banana Bread

0 komentar

Zucchini is still everywhere and one really nice way to enjoy some is in a zucchini bread. Although my favourite zucchini bread is a blueberry zucchini bread, every once in a while I like to indulge and go for a dark chocolate chip zucchini bread. Even though I was going with the chocolate chips, I wanted the rest of the zucchini bread to be as healthy as possible so I tweaked my recipe a little,...

Pesto Guacamole BLT

0 komentar

This has to be one of my favourite times of the year with all of the fresh field ripened tomatoes around and my favourite way to enjoy them has to be in a BLT or a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. BLT sandwiches never get boring and I like to experiment with them adding different things. Two of the best ways to go are with a BLT with basil mayo or a BLT with avocado or guacamole and so when I...

Pesto Guacamole

0 komentar

When I came across the idea of a pesto guacamole on two peas & their pod last week I knew that I would have to make it and make it soon! You really cannot go wrong combining two already amazing things like pesto and avocados and with all of the fresh basil around now it was the perfect time to make it! This guacamole could not be easier to make, you simply mash the avocado and mix in your basil...

Caprese Chicken Pesto Pasta

The days are getting busier and when that happens it is always nice to have some quick and easy recipes on hand and ones that sacrifice nothing in the way of flavour! Luckily it is a good time of year for that, especially if you are enamored with the the flavours of the caprese salad like I am. The caprese salad is the combination of fresh, field ripened tomatoes along with basil and mozzarella...

Summer Vegetable Bibimbap with Corn, Zucchini and Black Beans

0 komentar

Some of my most popular recipes are not the healthiest which may give the impression that I spend my days eating things like grilled cheese sandwiches and hot melted cheese dips which is not the case. I believe in moderation and although the grilled cheese sandwiches and dips definitely have their place I try to balance them out with healthier dishes and even if they are not as glamorous I wanted...
