    HCB #53: fried rice loving!

    I loves me some celery and adore sweet peppers, and sometimes I love them with my rice. So I put 2 and 2 together… or 3 and 3… Whatever, I was feenin’ for some fried rice, so I did the damn thing!

    You know I had to have some craisins in there!

    Why is fried rice so damn good?!
    Happy cooking lovelies!
    peace and love

    HCB #52: Cococococonut Curry Rice!

    I was feenin’ for some rice and peas… but I also wanted some curry rice. So I brought the two together, and mmm mmm mmm! So GOOD. I love making spice blends, so it was fun bringing my rice and peas spice blend and curry spice blend together. T’was a good move.

    This was delicious. And the raisins? oh… my… gosh… the raisins. They just make everything extra tasty! The coconut milk offered a delicious delicateness that I simply couldn’t put into words.
    My rice and peas/curry rice craving was WELL satisfied.
    Happy cooking!
    peace n love

    HCB #51: put that carrot in my coconut…

    There are many great things that I learned during my time in chef school, and one of the many things that I learned and keep so close to my heart, is the art of making A DAMN GOOD SOUP. For some this doesn’t sound like anything special, but believe me when I tell you that there is an art to making a GOOD soup.

    I cooked the carrots in soy and coconut milk, along with some garlic, onion and other special ingredients, then brought them together…
    I used to HATE soup, and dreaded ANY and EVERY occasion that involved soup… until I went to chef school. 
    Anyway, this soup was the BOMB! It was like Christmas in Heaven… only in your mouth! Yes.

    peace and blessings

    HCB #50: keep it in check!

    Tis the season of those weird cravings… you know, the ones you get once the weather starts getting a little colder, and your appetite get’s a lil uh… CRAZY… I know you know what I’m talking about.

    some like it naked…

    Anyway for those of us that find ourselves wanting to indulge a lil more during the cold months, BUT are determined to keep the health and shape in CHECK during the cold season; might I suggest we reach for more delicious and nutritious options, versus “delicious” i-will-fatten-you-up options that just leave you so damn disappointed that you gave in. I’m just saying.

    but a lil balsamic dressing ain’t never hurt nobody… mmm this was GOOD!!

    I know a lot of people only associate having an appetizer when they’re dining out, but I find having a yummy salad before my meal usually fills me up, thus preventing me from um… over indulging… *eeek!*
    Happy Cooking Lovelies and have a lovely weekend!

    HCB #49: Tomato… Tom-ah-to

    I know it’s been a HOT minute since I gave you guys some food posts but I’ll be honest, I haven’t been eating anything all that exciting. Bagels, bagels and more bagels, and the occasional veggie samosa. I know, sooo BAD. Whatever. Between school and piecing together this very interesting puzzle called life; I haven’t had any time to cook…

    the flavors were starting to get friendly…
    time to bring it all together…

    HOWEVER,  last night I brought a couple veggies together and made a DELICIOUS and NUTRITIOUS vegan friendly tomato pasta sauce, that had me licking my lips, chin AND bowl after I was done. Mmm t’was GOOD.

    mmm deeee-LISH!

    Happy cooking lovelies.
    peace and love

    ps: I know it’s kinda late, but I hope you all had an awesome thanksgiving Canada!
