National BBQ Day and My Grilled Lemon Zucchini

News flash to self, there is such a thing as “National BBQ Day”. Yup, I just learned that a few weeks ago through the Food Bloggers of Canada Website.

Mediterranean Quinoa Salad

I think that people think that if you love cooking and baking you must love most foods. Well, I’m not sure about the others but I don’t. For example, I will never be able to clean up a fish and then cut and cook it, same goes for chicken. I also don’t like quinoa, brown […]

Baked Cheese Balls with Sundried Tomatoes

Mamaliga with Shiitake Mushrooms – That Yellow Goodness

Directly from Wikipedia: Mămăligă is a porridge made out of yellow maize flour, traditional in Romania and Moldova. It is similar to the Italian polenta.

Salads

Golden Beet and Garlic Salad

My mom always makes this awesome beet salad. With olive oil and lemon and garlic, I just love it! But if there’s anything I don’t like about it is the fact that the beets always make it look like I just murdered someone in my kitchen, right there on the cutting board, and I can’t […]
