t’s taken me entirely too long to get to soak my red beans. A year! I’ve lived in New Orleans a year and I’ve never soaked my red beans to make a pot of Red Beans and Rice. Some nerve, really. Red Beans and Rice is a Monday night New Orleans tradition. I thought...Read More

A quick shrimp stew cooked in a tomato coconut broth with a hint of lime and cilantro. Simple enough to make for a weekday dinner yet sophisticated enough to serve to company. Serve with a little brown basmati rice to soak up the broth.

This easy, flavourful curry is a great one to whip up during the workweek, and leftovers only get better the next day.

I swear to you I eat more than just Italian sausage. But this time they’re in meatball form (!), so it’s . . . different? The funny thing is, remember when I was telling you about that meal that totally failed, so we looked at chunks of severed hair instead? Right. Well, I made this […]
