Some time ago ago I picked up a cold beer in a frosty mug on my kitchen counter and took a big gulp and immediately thought, oh man, this isn’t my beer. Except it was. Only Paul had accidentally bought a smoked beer instead of the pale ale I normally buy. My next thought, mere [...]

I grew up in a part of the world that doesn’t really get real winters. Don’t get me wrong, Vancouver winters are nasty in that can’t-get-warm-cause-you’re-always-soaking-wet kind of way, and I do not miss the rain even a little bit, but relatively speaking, they’re mild. Now I live in a part of the world that [...]
home made bagels
Posted in baked goods, breads, breakfast recipes, how to..., lunch, tagged bagels, cooking, food, Peter Reinhart, recipe on January 26, 2012 | 12 Comments »
Let’s make some bagels, can we? Yes we can! For starters, today is my birthday, and on my birthday we can do anything we want. We can eat cake for breakfast and bagels for lunch and because it’s my birthday the calories don’t count. Please remember that I have an actual degree in nutrition, so [...]
spicy red lentil soup

You know you’re living way up north when at the tail end of November the sun starts setting in the 2′s. You know you’re a food blogger living way up north when, after a stretch of grey and dreary days, sunlight suddenly floods your kitchen and you drop everything to take pictures of soup. The [...]

Remember back in May when I finally finished that nutrition degree I’d been working on for the better part of a decade? And then the very next day I hopped on an airplane and came to Sweden? That was quite something. I’ve applied for some nutrition related jobs since I’ve been back in Stockholm, and [...]

I conducted a bit of a Friday-night-in-the-kitchen-with-a-bottle-of-wine kind of interview with my husband before I wrote this post, and I’ll say, it never ceases to amaze me (in a good way) how much I still don’t know about that man. I’ve known Paul for a little over eight years now, and he’s been eating the [...]
pumpkin and black bean taquitos

October! Good grief, time is flying by. As far as months go, I’m a pretty big fan of October. I like the cool but not-yet-too-cold weather, the earthy smell of fallen leaves mingled with smoke from fireplaces lit for the first time in months, and the fall harvest is still in full swing. I get [...]
cobb salad

Salads normally make an appearance as dinner in my home a few times a week. Not as a side dish or an accompaniment, but as the main event. I like to have my largest meal in the middle of the day, at a time where I’m (these days literally) running around and burning up those [...]
perfect hard boiled eggs
Posted in eggs, how to..., lunch, mains, misc, tagged cooking, eggs, food, hardboiled eggs, recipe on September 16, 2011 | 7 Comments »
This is not a recipe as such, but more a suggestion and a favourite technique of mine. Making really good hard boiled eggs is one of those things that eluded me for years and years. I would try to make them but inevitably they would end up way over done or (in my opinion much [...]
chickpea salad sandwich

Last year this time I talked about the sandwich system, so I thought now I’d help soften the back-to-school and back-to-work blues with a tasty vegetarian sandwich filling. I find that vegetarian sandwich options can be repetitive and I get tired of simple bread, veg, cheese combinations. I’m doing a lot of running around these [...]
