Although it’s only two days since the Vegetarian Challenge ended on Sunday, my stomach already says, “Whoa, girl! Take it easy!” You thought I had told you before not to change things so abruptly!” This high-fiber, bean-filled goodness is up for grabs. I was pleased to see that tempeh was on sale today, so I made these Sesame Tempeh Bowls. […]
Let me start by saying that I’m not an expert baker. I don’t bake very often, but I did make these banana flax muffins the other night. I was inspired by some brown bananas and decided to play around with them in my kitchen. The batter is made with a lot of mashed bananas. It creates soft, sweet muffins that […]
This Coconut Turmeric Chicken Soup is my self-care Saturday at Budget Bytes. It was cold outside, so I made chicken soup. But, I decided to mix my classic version with my favorite elements of my Golden Coconut Lentil Soup. Sometimes having a healthy dinner is just what you need. It needs to be easy, fast, light and super tasty. This super tasty steamed […]
Sometimes I share recipes that aren’t necessarily “recipes” but are simply random bowl meals I create from ingredients in my kitchen. These bowl meals have allowed me to discover so many wonderful flavour combinations. I hope they can inspire you. My favourite is this Cottage Cheese Crab Bowl. It’s fresh and light for the early summer heat, yet full enough […]
These days, who doesn’t need a little comfort food? Yes, I do. I had leftover russet potatoes and knew what to do with them. Perfect for dipping or dunking. These delicious potato wedges are easy to make in the oven. …Or main dish, if you’re like me. What are Steak Fries? Steak fries are thick potato wedges. They are usually […]
This week, I made amazing steak fries. I also needed an equally delicious dipping sauce. So I created Comeback Sauce. Comeback Sauce is a sweet, creamy, tangy, sweet and savoury sauce that can be used to dip, drizzle, drizzle, or smear on almost any food. It’s not a “comeback sauce” name. It will keep your coming back for more. More. There are more. […]
This Spinach Artichoke Grilled cheese is decadent. This is like a restaurant appetizer that you turn into a meal. I modified a basic spinach dip recipe to make it more like a melty grilled chicken dip than a creamy dip. Then, I stuffed it between two pieces of homemade focaccia. It is a crispy, golden brown, melty, and gooey delight. Is this a […]
It sounds so simple, but pizza is my favourite food. There are endless options, and it usually contains my favourite ingredients: bread, tomatoes and cheese. Pizza is one of the most affordable meals you can make when you make it from scratch. What’s the best part? The best part? It’s freezer-friendly, so you can keep some on hand and thaw […]
Do you remember ten years ago when cauliflower became super popular and was used in place of all other carbs? Then the demand and supply got out of control, and cauliflower suddenly cost more than $5 per head. ? It’s great to see that there is more supply than demand and that I can now buy cauliflower at a reasonable […]
Here’s a quickie to help you get through this weekend. It’s always a challenge to find ways to make the most of fresh spinach. Scrambled eggs with Spinach and Feta are one of my favourite ways to use it up. It’s quick (like, fast enough for a weekday), delicious, and makes me feel pampered. You’ll also find many different ways to […]
