Asparagus Nachos with Goat Cheese and Mushrooms

Okay Asparagus isn’t the only component to these nachos, nor is it the principal ingredient, but it is an ingenious concept. My sister had some asparagus Nachos at some restaurant in Boston, so we decided to (loosely) follow their example. You’d think that Asparagus Nachos might be healthier than regular nachos, but that’s [...]


Asparagus Ottolenghi Style

The guardian has a section called “The New Vegetarian,” which (usually) features a weekly recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi, who is.. the best.  The other day I came across this.
Why didn’t I think of cheese and tomatoes on top of asparagus!!!  There’s no alterations needed, it’s perfect.  Unless of course you don’t have everything on hand- [...]


Busy Times, Yoga, Fresh Choice Market

The past couple of days have been a bit busy.  Yesterday I worked, then biked home, recovered form said bike ride, spilled approx. 2 lbs of pistachios on the floor, cleaned up pistachios, made dinner, and then went to yoga.  Dinner was a quick salad with butternut squash croutons and a side of mozzarella baked [...]


Roasted Beets with Capers, Goat Cheese and Balsamic Honey Dressing

A simple dish that can be made to look quite pretty, if you can be bothered.   In the fridge are some balsamic capers which are delicious and work really well with this dish, but regular capers will work just fine if that’s all you can get your hands on.

Going Overboard with the Napoleons

Another Napoleon Post!!  This could make a nice casserole, maybe with some kale sandwiched between the squash layers.  My butternut squash are all frilly thanks to my wavy knife.  If you’ve got some fresh herbs, like parsley, throw them in with the goat cheese, too.

Baked Goat Cheese in an Ancho Chile Red Sauce

No post yesterday as the boyfriend had a tummy bug and therefore could not eat, so I didn’t want to tempt him with my delicious cooking.. ha!  Look at that pot.. isn’t it charming?  Most miniature things are.  Even though it looks like Le Cresuet, it’s not- it’s Nouvelle something or other.
Today I used some [...]


Meatless Monday!!!

Aren’t I hilarious?
Today we went to TJ Maxx and I got sooooo many great great deals. First and foremost: my wavy knife that I got for 3 bucks. At the moment I am wave cutting everything- radishes, squash, mushrooms.. you name it. The squash looked the best and I was a bit [...]


Egg baked with Goat Cheese, Radish and Mizuna

Mizuna came from the farmer’s market this morning, as did the goat cheese.  It is a Japanese mustard green and remind me of arugula, with a less pungent flavour.

Open Faced Tempeh Sandwich With Avocado Mousse, Goat Cheese and Spicy Trinidadian Salsa

Using up the leftovers is what Boxing Day is all about.  This sandwich uses the mousse from The Christmas Day Appetizer, the Tempeh from the Main Dinner, and the spicy Trinidadian salsa mentioned in the “A Couple of Things” post.

Merrrry Christmas.. or rather, Happy Boxing Day. In the Metclan household we spend the day slobbing around, eating leftovers and not leaving the house unless for leisurely activities (re: movies). So here is our food rundown from yesterday:
