Friday Finds 8.5.16

Now that we’ve been back home for a while and aren’t traipsing around from camp site to camp site, I’m really missing the camp life and all the awesome views. I should really put up a post of all of…

I’m the kind of person that gets food traumatized pretty easily. I once had an incident with injera bread and I haven’t touched it since. So really, my continuing love of avocados is kind of a testament, considering our bloody…

Sunday Brunch with BAE: Bacon Avocado Egg Sandwich

I’m a huge fan of breakfast sandwiches, not that I actually eat them at breakfast. I actually fail at adulting because I don’t do breakfast, except for coffee and sometimes medium-soft boiled eggs. Usually, Mike and I will have…

Friday Finds 7.29.16

Last Friday in July! What are you guys up to? We’re heading over to our friends’ new place – we missed their housewarming so they invited us on by for a barbecue. I’m waffling between making a blueberry centric pie…

Dashi Butter Basted Steak Recipe

I know I’m a broken record, but wow, it’s August already? Remember when you were a kid and summer vacation seemed to stretch out forever?! I don’t know if it’s getting older or if it’s just that we don’t…

Friday Finds 7.15.16

Spinach Potato Soup Recipe

I've been wanting a new immersion blender ever since my last one died a sudden death in the middle of blending a pot of soup. It took me two years …

Burrata and Tomato Zoodles

I'm hanging on the the last vestiges of summer with tomatoes, basil and burrata. I think what I love so much about fall is the changing of the seasons. I like …

How to Make Basic, Great Pho

Cold Noodle Summer Salad with Salmon

Give me all the noodles, even in the summer. I don’t mind sweating over a bowl of ramen or pho, especially if it’s homemade. But, if you’re not up for the noodle sweats, don’t worry, I’ve got your back…

Phnom Penh Cambodian Style Fried Chicken Wings

There’s a restaurant in Vancouver that’s known for its fried chicken wings. It’s a hole in the wall kinda joint in Chinatown, where you have to line up for hours, usually in the rain, for your hit of chicken wing…

Fourth of July Flag Burgers

Happy Fourth friends! Mike and I decided to have a burger off this year. We came up with the brilliant idea of making flag burgers with alternating layers of red (beef) and white (turkey) meat! While I’m not very…

Canada Day Maple Rye Cedar Salmon

Happy Canada Day friends! I love making flag foods but Canada’s flag isn’t the easiest to render in food. I wish I was a little more adept at it. I’ve been wanting to make Canada Day jello, much like this American…
