Im diggin the warm weather lately (well, warm for a Canadian January), So I pulled out one of my yummiest summer recipes -although, this year I didnt get a chance to make it.. Stupid Basil thiefs! You can use either meat or cheese ravioli, cheese being the vegetarian option. Its very simple to prepare and is derived from my Nanna’s infamous pesto.
Ever seen those little jars of artichoke hearts in oil and brine at your grocery store? Well artichokes are in season, and the fresh vegetable can be found in many grocery stores now. The only question is… How do I cook it?!? I decided to give it a try and thought you’d all like to know how it all went. Overall they were delicious and I would give them a try if your up for a little adventure.

No Comments »Homemade Granola is easier than you might think, and when you make it yourself, you can gaurentee that you will always find the perfect ingredient to throw in! Its a perfect snack to throw in your backpack or even your purse with you while you catch the bus, and its very high in fiber, keeping you *regular* which I know everyone is just soo fond of doing. Take a look, and try it yourself!

I saw this idea on Nigella Lawson’s cooking show. However I drastically changed this recipe, simply for the convenience of what I had in my fridge. I used virtually no dishes to make this, and it only costs about 5 dollars to make! Chicken Pot Pie may seem like a very time consuming dish, however I beg to differ. I timed my cooking last night, and after 25 minutes, the pie was done and in the oven. After another 15 minutes of baking the pie was PERFECT!

Tonight, for dinner as an accompaniment to fish, I wanted to make a very healthy side. At the grocery store I purchased an Eggplant and a Zucchini. Something you do not find in many students kitchens obviously, but I had wanted to include a bit more veg into my daily routine and figured I would try a method of cooking that I rarely use: Oven Roasting.

This is one thing that I KNOW Ive got the recipe DOWN! This recipe is perfect exactly the way it is, and always turns out absolutely perfect. I am not really a baker, but this is one baked delight that you should just trust me on!

Once in a while I like to go down to my local grocer and pick out some of the freshest ingredients for my home made pho soup. This is a Vietnemese-like soup, taken from my Williams-Sonoma cookbook, and adapted with my own interpretation and locally fresh groceries. This soup does take a while to cook, but makes enough for 4 servings in each pot, and is great for leftovers.
