This weeks food highlights - Week 5

Another week of delicious food around here!

Baked Falafel Pita's with Homemade Hummus & Tzatziki

These were delicious! And we enjoyed the leftover falafels for lunch the next day.  Here is the falafel recipe I used - Baked Falafel Pita Pockets (Note: I baked them in the oven for half an hour longer then the recipe said)

Thai Red Curry over rice - Recipe ℅ the lovely Kendra Imrie! This brought us right back to Thailand on a cold Manitoba winter night

Jerk Chicken Burgers - We used a Jerk wet rub we bought from superstore as well as garlic, jerk spices and marinated the chicken for over an hour before BBQing it. We added some grilled pineapple slices for a tropical punch 

Super Bowl Snacks - Nachos with Guacamole & Salsa, Warm Goat Cheese & Tomato Dip, Oysters, Hummus and Crackers!

This weeks food highlights - Week 4

Adding to my cookbook collection is very exciting! I see it as an investment to my health and my culinary journey! Here are the two latest additions to my collection

1) Joyous Health - Eat and Live Well Without Dieting. 

'Joy McCarthy is a Holistic Nutritionist, author of JOYOUS HEALTH: Eat & Live Well without Dieting, professional speaker, nutrition expert on Global’s Morning Show, Faculty Member at Institute of Holistic Nutrition and co-creator of Eat Well Feel Well.'

2) Joy of Cooking - 75th Anniversary Edition. In my opinion this is a culinary bible that every person interested in cooking should invest in!

I'm so excited to dive into these books and try out new recipes to share with you. Oh and it's a complete coincidence they both have Joy in the title!

Glory Bowl Dressing from Whitewater Cooks

1/2 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 tbsp tahini paste

*Mix well in blender or processor and keep in a mason jar ready to drizzle when ever you need a good kick of yum.

This dressing is unbelievable! Super creamy and tastes like there is cheese in it because of the nutritional yeast!
