Homemade Super Dog Food … aka Ben’s Breakfast

September 15, 2013 by Dale 27 Comments

If I have a finger for every love in my life, one is given to food and another one, likely an opposable thumb, is given to Ben, my dog. Together, those two loves have produced this recipe for homemade dog food which I have been feeding to my super/wonder-dog for years. For those new to…

My Grandma’s Hamburger Soup (De/Re-constructed)

September 6, 2013 by Dale 4 Comments

There is comfort food … and then there is food that loves. As you will read in my next post (tomorrow’s installment in the Canadian Food Experience Project), this is the most cherished Canadian recipe I know. It is a part of me, part of my family, part of my heart. Recreating this dish, however,…

Grilled Prawns with Lime and Peaches

August 30, 2013 by Dale 3 Comments

Some relationships are meant to be … some will be deep and lasting, intrinsic in their ties. Others will be friendships, casual acquaintances, passerbys even. Tomatoes and basil; peanut butter and chocolate; lobster and butter. These are intrinsic pairings. When the bok choy arrived in my CSA bin, I thought I had in my head…

Penne Arrabiata (Penne with Italian Sausage and Shishito Peppers)

August 29, 2013 by Dale 5 Comments

Mmm, sausage. There are few things in life that make being a meat-eater more satisfying than sausage … and, by that, I mean good sausage. After a day of exploring Montreal and a Dale Chihuly exhibit (see previous post for pictures), we returned home late and hungry. Anne attended to the needs of the dogs and…

Thai Salad with Napa Cabbage

August 28, 2013 by Dale 1 Comment

Sweet ♦ Salty ♦ Sour ♦ Spicy ♦ Aromatic Some would define the classic Thai flavours as simply Sweet, Salty, Sour, which they are, but I like to think that it is a quintet that makes for most Thai food, not just a trio. And like any great band, it is harmony of playing together that creates memorable moments….

Maple-Lemon Mint Quinoa with Grilled Zucchini and Dried Cranberries

August 22, 2013 by Dale 4 Comments

What do we name our creations? It’s not like naming a newborn where you can easily choose a family member or favourite character in a novel. My ability to choose the right name will determine whether you’re reading this right now or have passed it over, dismissing this as another trendy quinoa recipe. Recipes so…

Swiss Chard with Bacon and Cranberries

August 21, 2013 by Dale 2 Comments

When a rainbow of Swiss chard showed up in my CSA Bin this past week, I was in the midst of a bacon and pancetta obsession. In one meal, bacon showed up in three separate dishes (Caesar Salad, Tuscan Chicken, and Risotto) … but not fully sated by just this, bacon then swept into my…

Caesar Salad with Grilled Hearts of Romaine

August 15, 2013 by Dale 4 Comments

Sometimes, certain things get into my head and like a catchy song they just linger and play over and over again. Such is the notion of grilling romaine lettuce, and idea that took root a few months ago when I first saw mention of it … and, if you’re anything like me, you’re colourfully saying…

Vegetarian Tacos with Grilled Zucchini

August 12, 2013 by Dale 8 Comments

When four more beautiful, firm yellow zucchini showed up in last week’s CSA share, the challenge was on. What else could I do with  them that would not only be delicious but would push my envelop. Inspired by the success of my Grilled Salsa a few weeks ago, I thought, hmm: tacos. I knew from…

Asian Red Plum Salsa

August 12, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

The vegetarian tacos and their sauces were nearing completion. I had already made the Avocado-Chimichurri Sauce and the Black Bean and Corn Salsa. What I wanted now was something with a little sweetness and a bit of a kick … something to complement the Argentine and Mexican flavours I was already combining. And I was…
