Lately we’ve been making skillet salmon fillets about once a week. They’re super quick and easy. What’s great about salmon is it’s so versatile and handles various cooking methods so well. Be it on the grill or cedar plank, roasted in the oven or even gently cooked in the Sous Vide, salmon cooks up like…
Vietnamese Street Tacos
These Vietnamese street tacos are something that I’ve wanted to make for quite awhile now. It’s no secret that since I moved to Canada for work, I’ve been slightly obsessed with the traditional Vietnamese noodle soup of Pho. I’ve made it myself before and even make my bone broth the same flavor because I find it…
Hazelnut Mocha Smoothie
One of the places we MUST stop at whenever we go to Austin, TX is Picnik. They have a knack for making some amazingly creative and tasty blended coffee options (not to mention the most deadly delicious blondies ever conceived). They start with the idea of bulletproof-style coffee but in a blended variation. So really…
Massaged Kale Salad
Let’s talk kale. Kale has become as ubiquitous a health buzz word over the past several years – it’s like the “fat free” of the 90s. It’s everywhere. We’ve moved beyond kale as a weird garnish on your dinner plate through the world of kale smoothies and kale chips and into a new kale culture,…
Crispy Slow Cooked Duck
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of food projects and recipes that utilize the slow cooked method. Whether it’s in the oven while making fall off the bone tender meat dishes, on the smoker or even in the slow cooker, there’s just something that is magical to me about cooking through the day. I’ve…
Corned Beef
It’s no secret that I’m quite the fan of food projects. Especially when it comes to making my favorite meats. A few of the more popular posts here are: home cured bacon, spiced cider brined headcheese and even how to render your own lard. Last year I made two different recipes utilizing corned beef for…
Pavlova
Have you ever heard of a Pavlova? I sure hadn’t until my good friend Leslie brought one to our Dancing with the Stars/Bachelor nights as her contribution to the potluck spread. Nothing goes better together than friends, reality tv shows and food! It’s one of the things I miss most about our life in LA….
Loaded Baked Sweet Potato Soup
We’re big fans of the soup purées as you can see from the Roasted Winter Squash Soup and Pumpkin Bacon Soup of year’s past. The Winter Squash Soup is a family staple at Sean’s family holidays and as Suz has said with the Pumpkin Bacon Soup: ‘It’s like Fall in my MOUTH!” These types of…
The Best Paleo Recipes of 2015 Ebook | Crawfish Boil
Near the end of 2014, our good friends Bill & Hayley of Primal Palate told us about their idea for a sort of “best of” paleo recipe round-up. They asked us if we would contribute to it, and of course we happily jumped on board! What an honor to be included among some of the…
Chicken Noodle Soup
Chicken Noodle Soup. Is there anything better on this planet than a nice warm bowl when the weather turns cold and possibly (or more likely in Vancouver) rainy outside? I’d like to think not. Now, it’s no secret that living in Vancouver has brought out my inner soup lover. My absolute favorite being a nice…
