Funny I’ve always called this recipe eggplant parmesan but just now, as I wrote the heading for this post, I realized that my recipe doesn’t actually include any parmesan at all. It does however contain delicious grilled eggplant, red pepper and tomato pesto, fresh basil and a smoked cheese, either gouda, mozzarella or cheddar. I talked…
Grilled Leg of Alberta Lamb
The highlight of a trip to the Crossroads Market last week was a fun conversation with Sandra Manning. Sandy is wife of a certain former politician. Warm, engaging and very enthusiastic about promoting their family farming operation in the Cypress Hills, Top of The Mountain Meats, it is easy to see how well she was suited…
Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Pesto
Have you ever had a recipe that started off as one thing but then slowly morphed into a different form? Usually when this happens for me it is because I am somewhat lazy, er efficient that is… That is what happened to my eggplant parmesan recipe. It started off as fancy individual stacks of goodness,…
Greek Chicken Collard Wraps
I grew collard greens in my garden for the first time this year. I was on a bit of a cruciferous veggie roll after the resounding success of growing kale last year, planting cabbage, cauliflower and collards in the garden this year. I have to admit I had never had a collard green before as…
Greek Chicken Skewers
I am in the market for a new freezer. My brother in law, hunter Dave, has offered this year to share a deer with us should his annual fall hunting expedition be successful. Venison is a very lean and healthy meat and I am not put off by any gaminess in its flavour so we…
Cauliflower Pizza Crust
OMG, cauliflower is beginning to really amaze me! It seems like with the right combination of ingredients you can do anything with this stuff. Rice, couscous, mashed potatoes and now pizza crust! My friend Karen had told me a few months back about making cauliflower pizza crust, an idea that I took note of and…
Beef Fajitas
Ok, it is official. I’m a food geek. I get so excited to find and try new edible products and yesterday I found myself celebrating to find this gorgeously packaged, delicious whole food sour cream from Quebec. Like I am still celebrating today. I was thinking of making fajitas for dinner, since I have a…
Parsley Pesto
With all of the parsley still in my garden (!) I’ve been working on ways to preserve this year’s harvest. I’ve made and frozen a bunch of chimichurri, I’ve given a bunch away, I’ve added it to salads like crazy and there is still a healthy and prolific row living in the garden. This delicious…
Italian Breakfast Frittata
We often grow spaghetti squash in our vegetable garden. Last year I innocently picked up a package of starter plants, which turned out to be way more than we needed. I think we grew around 40 squashes. This year I only purchased 4 plants, as opposed to last year’s 6, thinking that we would get a more…
Cauliflower Hummus
I love hummus. It is one of my favourite accompaniment to so many things, like yummy and carb laden fresh pita bread, or veggies, or crackers, or pita chips, or as a sandwich spread. Yeah, mostly to accompany my carbs…sigh. The impetus for making hummus this week though was actually my collard greens. I have a lovely…
