I feel like I'm writing a 5-year-old's diary entry entitled: "My First Tooth", except they probably spelled it "toof" instead of "tooth", since they probably just lost the tooth(f?) required to properly pronounce the word and are therefore misspelling it. Well, I put a bit more … [Read more...] about My First Amazing Broth: Lamb

Tomato Relish: This has Nothing To Do With A Hotdog Condiment…
This is the same recipe I made for my brother's big Indian dinner with friends in Toronto a few months back, except I skipped the onion (I hate raw onion), cut down on the salt (just a 1/2 tsp since my tomatoes were so amazing as they were), used parsley instead of cilantro … [Read more...] about Tomato Relish: This has Nothing To Do With A Hotdog Condiment…
Cucumber Raita with Parsley
This is so easy and so refreshing. You need to start with a very good yogurt to make it well, though. I love Pinehedge 3.8% yogurt. A litre of this stuff comes in a glass bottle on which you pay a $1 deposit, making it very affordable if you return the bottle. I love this farm. … [Read more...] about Cucumber Raita with Parsley
Slow-Cooker Lamb Curry with Basmati Rice, Tomato Relish and Grated Cucumber Raita
This is in my top 5 recipes ever and my top 2 lamb recipes. It beats out braised lamb shank in all its forms and sauces, and only comes second to 2-day marinated leg of lamb with dried figs and poppy seeds. Sometimes you need an excuse to make a recipe, and part 3 in the … [Read more...] about Slow-Cooker Lamb Curry with Basmati Rice, Tomato Relish and Grated Cucumber Raita
Dehydrated Kale Chips
More raw eating. How can you make kale any better for you? Well, I don't think it gets better, but it gets tastier and less of a trial to force into your body, like potato chips. Not in that potato chips are hard to force into your body, but that it's easy to eat a lot of … [Read more...] about Dehydrated Kale Chips
Bison Ribs

There's a place on the suth side of the market, just around the corner from the chocolate place, next to the … [Read more...] about Bison Ribs

Tortilla-Less TexiCali (Summer Salad Trial #2)
I didn't say how good the last salad was. It was good, but this was better. I did a few more substitutions, but overall I liked what was in this salad more. I had a beautiful, sweet tomato and a whole bunch of corn kernels. I'm addicted to sweet, I know, but it's funny that my … [Read more...] about Tortilla-Less TexiCali (Summer Salad Trial #2)
3 summer salads – 1 mango miracle, one French dressed to impress, and one tortilla-less texicali
A friend said she was looking forward to some good summer salad recipes, so I spent a few days researching. I figured she was thinking the portable kind of salad you take to a picnic or a potluck. It is finally that kind of weather, and that season where picnic baskets are … [Read more...] about 3 summer salads – 1 mango miracle, one French dressed to impress, and one tortilla-less texicali
My Second “Raw” Dessert Recipe (Sort Of): Orange Chocolate Cheesecake
So I thought this was my first "raw" recipe (not including salads and raw vegetables, of course), but then I remembered my raw chocolate mousse made from avocado, cocoa powder, lemon juice, agave nectar, sea salt, and shoya shoju (I think it's called)...but I did cheat and use … [Read more...] about My Second “Raw” Dessert Recipe (Sort Of): Orange Chocolate Cheesecake
