Halibut With Pine Nut and Parmesan Crust

Posted by horseplay  

This recipe was printed in our local paper. I tried it last night and had to share it! Halibut caught on longlines from certain regions may be sustainable according to seachoice.org, however, a better choice such as land farmed rainbow trout or... MORE»

Lychee Ginger Martini

Posted by horseplay  

A fresh and crisp drink. I first made this to serve at an Asian-themed dinner party, and it was great! The original recipe called for crystallized ginger to be placed in the glass, but I felt weird about that so I left it out. I'm not sure what... MORE»

Rummage-In-The-Cupboards Red Kidney Bean Salad

Posted by horseplay  

It was lunchtime, and my boyfriend said, "I don't want any meat or dairy products today." A plate of veggies wasn't going to fill us up, so I had to rummage in the cupboards a bit. This is what happened. Next time I might add some... MORE»

Easy Chocolate Mousse-Like Dessert

Posted by horseplay  

I've refrained from calling it a mousse because I know mousse connoisseurs will claim "there's no eggs, it's not a mousse!" But it comes out rich and velvety like any real mousse. A note about the portions: I said it makes enough for... MORE»

Sweet Shrimp and White Kidney Beans

(1 reviews) Posted by horseplay  

I found this recipe on canada.com, and it's from chef Massimo Capra's book One Pot Italian Cooking. He called it Gamberi e Fagioli. I used much, much more tarragon and a bit more fennel than what is called for in the recipe and found it had a... MORE»

Baked Stuffed Tomatoes With Rice

Posted by horseplay  

From the Vancouver Province newspaper, May 2007. The first time I made this I used half white half wild rice, and I also used finely chopped Emmental cheese as I had forgotten to buy Parmesan. I served this with chicken cordon bleu and a salad,... MORE»

Caramelized Bananas on Blueberry Muffins

Mocha Meringues

Posted by horseplay  

Light little cookies with a hint of coffee. It won't kill you to make them without cream of tartar. I made these on Christmas Eve, realized I had no cream of tartar, wasn't going to go out and get any (are you crazy?), did without and had a hit.... MORE»

Cacciocavallo and Shiitake Quesadillas

Posted by horseplay  

Cacciocavallo is available at most large supermarkets, like Loblaws or the Superstore. Disturbingly enough, it's kind of shaped like a fetus. MORE»

Prosciutto E Melone

Cranberry Orange Cookies

Posted by horseplay  

Courtesy of Oprah.com, with modifications. Who has access to "evaporated raw cane sugar," anyway? I'm not too too sure on how many cookies it makes, but it's a lot. MORE»

Stir-Fried Chicken With Mango and Peppers

(1 reviews) Posted by horseplay  

This is from HeartSmart Chinese Cooking, by Steven Wong. Every single recipe in this book is delicious, and since I can't post them all, you should just buy it. The recipes are great because they taste authentically Asian, but are a lot lower in... MORE»
