You guessed it allright! You SHOULD in fact be looking at a mouthwatering plate of this English classic we refer to as Fish and Chips. But, you see, Mr. Cod here had some very important business to attend to and had to send his regrets when he got invited to this photo shoot. Boooh! Seriously? [...]
I went for a run this morning. A teenny, weeny, should be easy 6.6km run. Pfft, that’s peanuts, right? NO WAY! It was extremely hard and extremely disappointing. You know that feeling when you want to give it your all, your brain is all up for it, but your body just won’t follow? You’re like [...]
Allright, I admit… not much green happening here. BUT, to my defense, there’s got to be at least a million mushrooms in that sandwich! AND I did eat a whole yellow tomato as a side dish. So I think this qualifies as being healthy! You see, I was really in the mood for a grilled [...]
I must admit that I am fairly new to the world of grains. Up until recently, I would only eat white rice and well… more white rice. Basmati, Jasmine, Arborio, shushi, or the very popular guy known as Uncle Ben’s. All of them white! Then I’d throw the occasional barley in my soup… and I’d [...]
I’ve been so busy planning Easter last week that I didn’t have time to make my usual meal plan / grocery list for the week. This has left me totally unstabilized… hey, I’m used to planning my meals up to 2 weeks in advance, you know!!! I decided to make the best of the situation [...]
Wondering about all those letters? They stand for Oh My God I Did It Thank Goodness Lent Is Finally Over! To me, Lent this year meant 46 days of eating clean, 100% of the time. No processed sugar, in fact, no sweet treats at all. The only exception was a teaspoon of honey here and [...]
Shepherd’s Pie has always been one of my favorite comfort foods. It’s one of those dishes that I used to always go back for seconds. I just couldn’t help it. And even now that I have pretty much succeeded at eliminating this bad habit, Sheperd’s Pie would still be one of the dishes that I [...]
For some reason, I always thought falafel was extremely hard to make. Pfft! Not at all! I guess it’s only because I’m not familiar with them, for they were never really a part of my diet growing up. But really, they are extremely easy to make: just throw everything in the food processor and process [...]
I love buckwheat pancakes. I remember when I was a kid, my dad used to make huge batches, like millions of them, and as soon as he’s have a few ready, he’d call us: “Y a des galettes de prêtes!” (meaning: some pancakes are ready) We’d all come running and sat down to devour them [...]
Remember this guy? This bread was so good, even though it was technically a fail, I had to give it another try. So a couple of weeks after my initial try, I went at it and gave it another shot. While that time the dough actually did rise, the end result was pretty similar, although [...]
The weather has been so crappy this week-end. Depressingly crappy. It was awfully cold and windy, plus we got rain, hail, snow and everything in between. I went out for my first run on Saturday and it was so cold, I thought I was going to pass out. Seriously, I had a harder time dealing [...]
Soy is one ingredient that I want to eat a lot more of. The only problem is, I don’t really know how to incorporate it into my diet. Plus, up until recently, soy, to me, basically equalled tofu, and I didn’t care much for tofu. I’m learning, however, that soy really does not equal tofu. [...]
