I love balance. Balance is a key to your success.
There are just a few examples how you can introduce balance in your life.
Roasted Butternut Squash Lentil Mash
Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Cranberries
I cannot believe one month has gone since we celebrated Thanksgiving in Canada. I mean it’s just one month left, and we’ll be celebrating Christmas!
And needless to say, Thanksgiving is around the corner in the USA.
Brussels Sprouts Mash
Brussels Sprouts Mash with lemon thyme and crispy chicken bacon? Sounds quite delicious, right?
But believe it or not, this dish didn’t mean to be.
Strawberry Salad with Cherry Sorbet-Dressing
Few weeks back I was asked to make a sophisticated and even a bit whimsical salad for one occasion. Sophisticated salad? I love sophisticated salads! Indeed, I love the world “sophisticated”. You may have noticed that. Moreover, being an ESL speaker, surprisingly I love sophisticated vocabulary…oh, again, sorry:)
Sophisticated salad is about few things: a dressing, the contrast of textures, and the contrast of flavors.
Maple Glazed Brussel Sprouts
Have you ever had a situation when a planned dish was transformed while cooking? Don’t answer though – I guess it will be “yes”. Not being a spontaneous person in life, I can act like that in the kitchen. That often happens to me, especially when I make a salad or pasta dish. I have tried doing the same thing in baking, but after screwing up a few layer cakes I came to realize I shouldn’t be that frivolous with cakes.
Sometimes I can blame my memory for forgetting to add an ingredient and finding that out only while taking pictures or having eaten the meal.
Mushrooms, Sweet Peas and Bacon Pasta
I mean we DO love pasta.
I’ve just started my blog but if you came back in a month or about, you will find out that the prevalent tags here are “salads” and “pasta”. Salads will always win though since we have a pasta meal only once a week-two but salads almost every day.
Perhaps, I will dedicate a long post to pasta since I’ve got some interesting stories related to it.
