This was my first attempt at any kind of enchiladas, and I have to say it was a good one. They aren’t quite traditional because they’re stacked instead of rolled, but they manage to hold in all the spice and flavour (plus the fried egg on top works really well). I adapted this recipe from…

Chipotle Black Bean and Toasted Quinoa Burgers
You can’t buy frozen burgers like this. Tons of protein, flavour, colour and nutrition packed into one burger patty—can’t go wrong. Before making this recipe, I always just assumed that chipotle peppers were their own kind of pepper. But as it turns out, chipotles are actually just smoked jalapeno peppers! I feel like this is…
Drunk Broccoli and Two-Cheese Soup
Cooking with beer is a pretty sweet deal all around. First off, it gives a huge flavour kick so you don’t need to add any salt or vinegar or any of those soupy tricks. Second of all, you can sample your ingredients as you go (meaning you can drink while you cook). I guess you…
Deep Fried Pickles with Old-Style Mustard and Oregano Dip
Deep fried pickles are like a cult classic in culinary terms. Imagine a movie that someone suggests to you, and you’re like “It looks weird, I don’t know…” but then you watch it and it’s fantastic. That is what happens with deep fried pickles every time. Most people think pickles should be eaten raw because…
Lemon Tarts with Fresh Fruit
I’ve never been big on baked lemon desserts…until this little tart came along. Most of the lemon desserts I’ve tried in the past have been made with what I assume is artificial flavouring or a sugar-overload which drowns the lemon taste completely. These tarts have a good balance between the semi-bitter lemon zest, the tanginess…
Hobbit Hole Cake
My inner geek was pretty satisfied eating a dwelling from a Tolkien novel. I made this cake for a friend’s birthday and I think they were pretty pleased with it. I normally make cupcakes because I’ve never been a big fan of cake myself, but after I was done putting it all together there was…
Mexican Grilled Corn on the Cob
Barbecuing is an under-rated method of cooking for vegetarians. People have this assumption that barbecues are meant only for burgers and hot dogs, but once the creative side of grilling comes out it’s a completely different story. I get it, burgers are great, but a little variation is nice sometimes. I’ve only ever had corn…
Spicy Bok Choy Ramen Noodles with Marinated Asian Tofu
Ramen is a pretty basic dish on its own (not that there’s anything wrong with that). It’s perfect for late-night snacking and lunchtime noodling, but truth be told it can get boring on its own. Pack it full of veggies and spice and it’s a whole other story. Six cups of bok choy may seem…
Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Panko
Mac and cheese is the ultimate comfort food. And even though the packaged stuff is good once in a while, it loses its charm pretty quickly. Why is the powder so orange, and why do the noodles get gross after 10 minutes? Unanswered questions. This mac and cheese still serves as a great comfort food,…
Guacamole Grilled Cheese
I can eat grilled cheese all day long. I’m also frequently craving guacamole. Stick those two together and I’m going into a food coma. I like my cheese to be as melted as possible in my sandwich, so I normally take a lid from a large pot and place it over top of the skillet….
