These tasty treats hail from Portugal. I used to eat them at Portuguese bakeries in Toronto when I lived in little Portugal. Now living elsewhere, I miss them and must have them. So we must make them! I referenced a recipe from Leite’s Culinaria. She has a very helpful video! I am using her work…

Brazilian Tapioca Treats
This is the easiest dessert I have ever seen created. My darling friend Carolina showed me how to make it!
Pão de Queijo
Greetings from Brasil! I arrived in February and will be spending the next year in Lavras, Minas Gerais teaching English at Universidade Federal de Lavras, and doing research on food security! Importantly, I’m researching food! And guess what, we’ve got some tasty treats from this wonderfully warm country. This pão de queijo is a naturally gluten-free…
Mulligatawny… in a Slow Cooker!
This is an easy-peasy mulligatawny. Delicious as a soup served with some toast or as a dinner time meal or over a bed of rice and garnished with cilantro. I was originally inspired to make this recipe for the blog spoonforkbacon.com but adapted the recipe and shaved some calories by not cooking the veggies in…

Japanese Ginger-Carrot Salad
Pardon me for my hiatus from food blogging. It has been a busy past couple months, and I’ve recently finished my undergraduate at the University of Toronto! Although I have been cooking and accumulating a great deal of photos to post, I haven’t quite gotten to the computer to document the magic. I’ve been cooking…
Mofongo Relleno with Lime-infused Black Beans and Rice
It was a Friday night and the ladies stayed in, taking pictures of food, making chocolate molten cakes with ice cream and watching bad romantic comedies. So much food. To start the day off right, I decided to cook up these black beans that had been sitting around for a while that needed to be…
French Onion Soup Portobello Burger
So I know what you’re thinking. Soup-burger? It really makes no sense, but it will. Allow me to explain. I love french onion soup. It’s one of the unhealthiest of all soups, there’s tons of cheese, buttery-sauteed onions and a whole bunch of bouillon. It’s delicious for those reasons. I also love mushrooms. While there’s…
Green Beans with Honey and Sesame Seeds
I love Asian Fusion. I think its because this past year I lived in China Town and my closest grocery stores were all Asian grocery stores. Whether or not that was the case, my roommates and I have found out honey goes well on EVERYTHING, including Asian dishes. We’ve made these beans with a butter-honey…
Sweet Potato and Carrot Fritters
The perfect summer side dish! These are quick and easy to whip up, and very refreshing served with this yogurt-salsa sauce.
