Black Trumpet Risotto

I’m just going to throw this right out there right away. I don’t like Mushrooms. I despise their texture but love their flavor. I’m like the child you have who, when they see the smallest piece, will throw a fit and refuse to eat. Well, ok, I am not that bad but you get the…

Potato Goat Cheese Agnolotti | Lemon Brown Butter Sauce

Oh Dang! Guys, so first of all: my computer was having technical issues so I haven’t been able to post ( I finished a post via my cellphone yesterday which was awful). As an update: my media life has been put on hold and my office life has been me on my couch working with…

Huevos Breakfast Pizza

Ahh, New Year’s Eve! For all of my thirty-something years, I have broken NYE down to two experiences: Completely overrated or a complete blast. I will say: last year was one of my favorite New Year’s Eves. Beside the fact that I managed to stay up past midnight, our friends had an engagement party at…

Black Pumpkin Ravioli | Brown Butter Sage Sauce

Not going to lie, I’m not huge on Halloween. I don’t put up cob webs or skeletons; I don’t hang ghosts in the windows. Growing up, Halloween parties just weren’t my thing. Perhaps it was too much effort to dress up or perhaps I didn’t want to freeze in a costume parading downtown nightclubs. My…

Vegetarian Ramen

Vancouver is a culinary gold mine when it comes to food; especially Asian cuisine. If someone were to ask where to find the best of Asian cuisine in Canada, chances are they will say Vancouver (I’m not biased!). From Ramen to sushi there is no shortage of restaurants on every city block. Everyone…

Veg-orizo tortellini | Broccolini | Tomato Broth

One of my favorite recipes I make is Chorizo and ricotta stuffed tortellini with a goat cheese tomato sauce. Since I am experimenting with vegetarian dishes, I decided to try and “imitate” the flavors of chorizo. And, as you can probably guess, I managed to successfully create a recipe that will make you second guess that it’s vegetarian. …

I took some inspo from my gal pal Jaimee since we are on the vegetarian band wagon. Check out this recipe: Directions: For the Rice On medium…

Let’s talk Vegetarian

Ok guys! I’m with most of you. There is nothing better than a good steak, BBQ chicken or (lets face it) a good ol’ fashion hot dog. I love meat. Braised short ribs, Bolognese, BURGERS!…ahhh the list goes on. BUT……(yes there is a but) Just recently I went to visit my girlfriend, Jaimee. I was…

Skip the Meat

I’ve been packing on a few extra pounds.. the wine, the food, the… uh, lack of exercise has got me thinking I need a bit of a detox. By detox, I mean making extra delicious food that is healthy and cutting back on the booze until my next trip (which is in 7 days). So, I…
