This moist and decadent chocolate cake is just the treat for holiday celebrations. Even though I have a bad habit of trying new recipes on unsuspecting friends, and this time around was no exception, the cake turned out beautifully and I was the center of much praise. If you love chocolate, you’ll love this cake.

This is a recipe I whipped up quickly for Melanie, who’s been a devout fan of my stuffed peppers for many years now. This recipe however, is 100% original and made on the spot. If you’ve got spices, ground meat, tomatoes and peppers, you’ve got what it takes to make these!

I’ve been on the hunt for tasty salad recipes. I know salads are traditionally a summer time meal, but lately I’ve felt like my staple lunch meal needed a little zesting up. I was also looking for a dish that was healthy. For those of you who have never heard of quinoa, it is a grain like crop with great nutritional value, as its protein content is very high (12%–18%). It’s mildly nutty flavour is what keeps me coming back for more.

Andre and I had some friends over a couple weekends ago for dinner, and I wanted to share with them a simple yet delicious dessert. These gingerbread crepes are exactly what I was looking for. The best part is that everything can be prepared before hand, so you can enjoy your company. I hope you get to enjoy these crepes with family and friends for dessert or a gourmet style brunch.

If you have a couple of hours – even an afternoon – that you would like to dedicate to making some great food, I suggest making some tasty pot stickers. While assembling these pot stickers is quite the tedious task, taking that bite in the steamed sticker is totally worth your time. Enjoy!!

Through recent inspiration (let’s blame Jesse over at beansandtoast.com) I decided to make a quick and easy Korma dish, but was tired of the usual chicken that we normally eat in Indian food. So instead I got some veggies, coconut milk and korma paste together and created a lovely vegetarian dish that tasty is and filling!
