I've completed two more recipes to share with you all this week!

1. Pasta Primavera
- A rich and creamy sauce that I've amped up with a little surprise. It's a great trick for creamy sauces!

2. Warm Roasted Potato Salad - A trio of potatoes
dressed in a light, balsamic vinaigrette. A flavoruful salad that takes no effort at all!

As I said before,
cool temperatures + soup / stew / chili = <3

This chili is a bit different than my last one and can be manipulated to really make it your own. Play with the amount and style of hot sauce, tomatilla salsa, and jalapenos to really cater the flavour to your own tastes.

I am a hot sauce fanatic. I must have at least 10 open bottles in the fridge right now.

Investigate your local grocer, most grocers offer a selection of hot sauces from around the world. Mexican hot sauces are probably my favourite and I suggest them for this chili especially. You could also use a traditional Frank`s style as well but don`t limit yourself!

Processed Meats and Cancer

10/27/2015

http://news.nationalpost.com/health/processed-meats-including-bacon-sorry-carcinogenic-to-humans-who-says-red-meat-probably-is-too
The World Health Organization has now placed processed meats in the same danger category as smoking in relation to cancer risk. Is this surprising?

Want to know my opinion? There's a moral to this story and I don't even need to get all preachy about vegetarian / vegan diets, eating healthy, or exercising.
READ YOUR INGREDIENTS!
When you are shopping, it can be a hassle to read your labels but it is crucial to really getting the best version of the product you are purchasing. Ingredients are posted on almost every product available and it is important to be aware of what's in your food.

When it comes to processed foods, the problem is the massive amount of additives, preservatives and extras that are used to manipulate and process the original product.

What's the moral?


If your ingredients list is 25 items long and it's supposed to "Beans" in the can, that's usually a problem. If you can't pronounce several of the ingredients on the list, that may also be a problem. (Think Titanium Dioxide, like no thanks!)
Look for the purest form of everything you eat, fresh is best! Steer clear of anything that's heavily processed and also use Google! Google some of those big words and educate yourself on what you eat!

Hearty Tomato and Bean Chili

10/23/2015

0 Comments

 
This chili is so delicious I know you'll all love it!

A few tips. . .

* After cooling, refrigerate for up to 3 days. It freezes well also, use up within 6 months.

* This chili is mildly spicy, want a bit more kick? Amp up the chili powder / cayenne to 1/2 tsp. instead and you'll taste a bit more wham bam thank you ma'am!

* Any bell peppers will do, colours don't affect flavour too heavily. Try and get two different ones simply for the colour and visual appeal of the chili!

Roasted Tomatoes - Posted!

10/22/2015

0 Comments

 
What a delight these turned out to be! When a dish takes so little work to prepare but is so enjoyable, I consider it a gem! The tomatoes were plump, juicy, sweet, salty, and everything in between.

Initially, my plan was to make a crispy bread crumb topping for the tomatoes to sprinkle over when they finished cooking but after seeing the dish come out of the oven, I decided not to muddle the colours. It stayed as is with a sprinkle of Parmesan and Sea Salt.

I`ll eventually use this same recipe to make a sauce and when I perfect it, I will share with you all!
