What if you came home for lunch one day and in between reheating leftovers and hurrying back to work you realized that except that last slice of quiche you just inhaled, there is nothing to eat for supper? No problem, you might say, just call in some takeout or go out for a meal. Now,… Continue reading Slow Cooker Red Lentil and Swiss-Chard Soup

Slow-Cooker corn and fish Chowder
Finally. A recipe interesting enough to share. I planned to tell you how I'm feeling all better now but then I managed to jam my lower back rolling out off bed. How pathetic is that? Now I need help putting my socks on. So romantic. No wonder my poor husband falls all over himself trying… Continue reading Slow-Cooker corn and fish Chowder

Slow cooker Lentil Dahl
I swear I do not own Fenugreek, Kaffir lime leaves, green Cardamom, black cumin seeds or any other substance you need wikipedia's help to spell out. What I do own as of last week is an easy-peasy (lentils are so hard to rhyme) lentil dahl (inspired, I have no claim of authenticity) dish that cooks itself… Continue reading Slow cooker Lentil Dahl
Whole Wheat Banana Bread
This is one simple Banana bread. It always comes out right. It does not have gazillion pounds of butter in it and it contains 50% whole wheat flour. The crust has almost a crunch to it and it keeps on the kitchen counter on in the fridge for a few days, without getting soggy or… Continue reading Whole Wheat Banana Bread
Microwave Apricot Jam
This jam practically sustained my mother in law through a whole weekend of wrangling babysitting my two little scoundrels treasures, while the hubby and I took off to ogle watch Bon Jovi in Winnipeg. All. By. Ourselves. In mere 72 hours we came close to missing our flights and everything we payed for due to various mechanical failures,… Continue reading Microwave Apricot Jam
Simple and flavorful Bruschetta
I was hesitating if to post this recipe due to it's simplicity, but then I remembered that sometimes, the simplest, most basic of recipes are the hardest to find out there in the World Wide Web. No fancy duck confit here folks. Bruschetta is a great way to use up leftover bread and look sophisticated all… Continue reading Simple and flavorful Bruschetta
Zucchini in garlic, mint and lemon
In case I don't mention it often enough, we live in a very remote location. The asphalt stops at our village. You will have to take either a plane or a boat to continue norther bound. The nearest decent size shopping center is over a 1000 kilometers away (sniff). Our (un)fortunate remoteness from civilization brings us closer… Continue reading Zucchini in garlic, mint and lemon
Quicky Microwave Orange Marmalade
Do you like orange marmalade? the bitter-sweet tangy kind with real pieces of orange peel in it? So do I. Sooo good on a fresh slice of bread, even better if you sneak in some butter. How about sugar? lots of industrial, processed, white sugar? do you like that? oh, and some Fructose (another name for… Continue reading Quicky Microwave Orange Marmalade
Lovely Quinoa Salad
I came up with this little beauty in a time of need. I NEEDED Tabouleh. Now, not later. The problem was that I had no tomatoes. Or cucumbers. My Bulgar jar was on the low side too. I wasn't looking good for the Tabouleh, I can tell you that. Happily, I did possess the necessary… Continue reading Lovely Quinoa Salad
