Green Eggs & Ham

2/28/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
Everyone remembers the classic Green Eggs & Ham by Dr. Seuss, and if you don't, revisit it before you engage with my little twist on that fun idea. :)

A beautifully fried egg, sliced avo, and Yves Veggie Cuisine plant based bacon, sitting atop a perfectly grilled piece of sourdough. Finished with sautéed spinach, grated cheddar, everything bagel spice, and fresh chives for a delicious adaption of the classic Dr. Seuss' green eggs and ham.

This is also a super easy recipe to adapt based on what you have in the fridge. You could use kale instead of cabbage, any kind of shredded cheese you like, poached eggs etc., as long as you've got your "ham" component, eggs, and some sautéed greens, you've got green eggs and ham. Plus, it's just super cute to serve up a Dr. Seuss classic for brunch!

The Tasmanian Tiger & Human's Poorly Timed Concern

2/27/2021

0 Comments

 
The Tasmanian Tiger is a tragic story, one that demonstrates a complete lack of empathy until it was far too late. In fact, this is often the human approach to animal welfare and extinction. We care when there's little to no hope of rectifying the situation, and this lackluster and poorly timed concern is the reason hundreds of thousands of species are on the verge of extinction.

Creamy Celery & Potato SOup

Can we all just take a minute to appreciate celery? No one ever believes me when I tell them that I absolutely love celery, eat it every day, and actually crave it from time to time. It's so much more than 1/3 of your mirepoix. 

I decided to whip up a creamy celery and potato soup, much like something you'd have enjoyed growing up from a can of Campbell's or something, but made from scratch. Tender potatoes, copious amounts of crispy celery, and a wonderfully rich and creamy broth, this soup has it all. 

Enjoy this soup as is, in all of its creamy and delicious glory, or you can use this recipe for any recipe you're making that calls for a can of cream soup. Better to use a from scratch recipe that you can control the sodium on than a can of cream soup that's probably housing an alarming amount of sodium.

Scottish Mushroom Stew

I remember spotting this recipe on Pinterest from Tinned Tomatoes, and I knew right away I had to recreate it. I've only recently gotten into eating more mushrooms and admittedly, only like the most basic of mushrooms. The wild ones are just too creepy to look at and frankly, look like you'd be chewing on them for days. Anywho, back to the recipe. Cremini mushrooms and carrots are the main players in this stew, cooked down to complete and utter tenderness in the most luxuriously rich brown sauce. 

Serve it up over some mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, egg noodles, whatever you want. It sits atop your desired carb like royalty waiting for you to tuck into it in all of its glory. Get the RECIPE now!
Here's a link to the original recipe I found for inspiration <3

Wisconsin Gray Wolf Hunt Commences

2/23/2021

0 Comments

 
After 7 years, the Wisconsin Gray Wolf hunt commenced putting the lives of 200 gray wolves in jeopardy. This comes only a month and a half after gray wolves were delisted from the Endangered Species Act by the former President's administration. How quickly we yearn for the opportunity to slaughter animals after 40 years of conservation efforts brought us to this point. Learn more under the ANIMAL NEWS tab.

Russet Brunch Bowl

Sunday Brunch Day y'all!
My absolute favourite thing about weekends is brunch. For me, it's about getting that feeling you get after Christmas dinner, straight up food euphoria. I like a hearty brunch that almost always includes potatoes and eggs in various preparations. Cue the Russet brunch Bowl!

I decided to prepare the halved russets in fondant style, which makes them  smooth like butter, and absolutely delicious. Nestled in to a bed of tomato sauce beans, and topped with a beautifully fried egg, shredded cheese, some of that glorious pan sauce, and chives, it's total brunch vibes. Incredibly hearty, rich, and hello, potatoes!?!? This is not only a recipe post, but a continued celebration of the potato, my longest and most valuable relationship with a vegetable.

Jane Goodall Act Introduced In Canada

2/20/2021

Picture
The Jane Goodall Act was recently introduced in Canada and if approved, would be a historic shift in animal welfare for Canada, setting a new precedent across the globe. The Act would prevent new captivity of great apes, elephants, and cetaceans, and would improve our flawed ban on the import of ivory and hunting trophies from endangered animals.

It is imperative that the Jane Goodall Act be implemented in Canada. Learn more under the ANIMAL NEWS tab!

Baked Feta Fusilli

For the record, I do not have a Tik Tok, despite efforts from my friends to convince me that I would love it. I already find myself struggling sometimes to maintain the various social media platforms I'm already using, without adding in something else that I'd be engulfed in. 

With that being said, I'm always hip on the newest trends (haha no I'm not) and when I saw the baked feta trend, I knew I was jumping on that bandwagon. 

Tangy feta cheese nestled into a bed of medley tomatoes, garlic, sundried tomatoes, EVOO, herbs, and spices, and baked until gloriously golden and melty. Stir in some fresh herbs and pasta, and you've got one of the easiest and most delicious pastas you could imagine. This was definitely a trend that was worth the make.

What 30 Years Has Done to 3 of Africa's Most Endangered Animals

2/17/2021

I had recently stumbled across an article that blasted animal activists for speaking out against trophy hunting. The African representative in the story claimed that activists don't understand the relationship with wild animals and how trophy hunting actually helps communities and conservation. 

With that in mind, I decided to share with you all exactly what 30 years has done to 3 of Africa's most endangered animals. Keep in mind, these beautiful animals are still hunted for sport because apparently, this helps them.

--It's Taco Tuesday y'all!--
What do we want? TACOS!
When do we want them? TUESDAYS!


Well y'all, here's a little taco action for you on this very snowy Tuesday here in Windsor, Ontario. Creamy refried beans, melty cheese, a perfectly fried egg, some gorgeous, sliced avo, and a quick pico that really brings the freshness and cuts through all of the rich ingredients in these taco bowls. I used some Old El Paso bowls for this recipe, but you could easily use flat tortillas and build everything  on those.

Happy Taco-ing! <3
