The Best Ever Fudge

The Best Ever Fudge

Fudge or “to mess up” got its start in the United States in the 1880’s when a college student intended to make caramel and messed up – and created Fudge. Originally fudge could and can be very fussy to make, but not with this recipe.

Carrot Coconut Ginger Soup

Carrot Coconut Ginger Soup

It is always nice to entertain during the Christmas Season, and we love serving little tastes of a nice hot soup. The soy sauce adds a bit of Unami and the fresh ginger adds the depth. Extra coconut milk freezes really well.

Turmeric Chickpeas with Spinach and Shishito Peppers

Turmeric Chickpeas with Spinach and Shishito Peppers

A hearty vegetarian meal, packed with flavour and topped with blistered Shishito Peppers. Shishito peppers are small, green peppers from Japan. Similar to a Spanish Padron pepper or a skinny Jalapeño, but nowhere near as spicy, except maybe for the odd one. We like to…

Risotto with Oregano and Brown Butter Scallops

Even though Risotto takes a bit of time to prepare, it is very simple to make. This classic Italian dish is buttery and creamy rich. We added high quality scallops and some sautéed oregano for an elegant entree.

Fresh Corn Salad

Fresh Corn Salad

At the peak of summer and corn season we always look for new recipes to enjoy the sweet freshly picked corn from the Farmer’s Market. This recipe is a blend of several and we experimented many times until getting it “just right”! Serve this bright…

Jalapeño Cream Cheese Dip

Jalapeño Cream Cheese Dip

Most often, well pretty much always we use fresh Jalapeños. This dip is better with pickled sliced Jalapeños. Heat the dip and use taco chips to gather some of the spices, gooey dip or use as a condiment on Tostados or Tacos. Easy enough to…

Braised Butter Beans with Greens

Braised Butter Beans with Greens

Reminiscent of a lunch we had in Italy years ago, butter beans are so versatile. Perfect for soups, stews, salads and as a side dish. We love this simple meal on a hot summer day!
