Frozen Chocolate and Blueberry Cake
cookclean:
Another Ode to BC Blueberries. This recipe was was born during the heat wave we experience on the west coast of Canada a few weeks ago. Being spoiled with mild weather year round when the temperature rose above our regular average of 21 degrees I was quickly scheming a way to cool off. So I invited over a few girl friends to sit on the patio and enjoy a Frozen Chocolate and...
Blueberry Matcha Antioxidant Smoothie
cookclean:
As many of you may know my husband and I just celebrated our first anniversary, and as sappy as it may sound the transition into marriage over this past year was pretty seamless. However I am not being entirely candid if I feign to admit our one notable bump in the road. It all l stemmed from frozen blueberries, and the smoothie that is posted below.

Cilantro Lime Guacamole with Endive Leaves
cookclean:
I am on page 15 of my final project for the course I am taking; fatigue seems to be creeping up with every page I rough out. This afternoon I have been battling my weariness by fueling my body and brain with homemade Guac and Endive leaves. I know, I know, it is old news that snacking is important to a healthy lifestyle. It was the late 90’s when Robin Kanarek and Davic Swinney...
Whole Wheat Blue Raspberry Oatmeal Muffins
cookclean:
The summer course I am taking this July, is with a tight knit cohort that have been together for months. Being an outsider with a group project looming that I need to partner up for, I decided that through my peers stomaches would be the best way into their hearts. I set to my kitchen to created a new recipe just for the them: Whole Wheat Blue Raspberry Oatmeal Muffins. The...
American Women Don't Get Fat ...do they?: Peach... →
I went to T.J. Maxx the other day and picked up a few cookbooks. Those cookbooks are amazing - because not only is their price insanely cheap (anywhere from 3-6 dollars) but they have the most delicious sounding/looking food. I’m a huge fan of smoothies because you can pretty much drink them…
HEAVY: Elk stew →
There’s a reason why protein means “of the first importance”: its important! Eat a lot and your well-nourished muscles will sing like Samson as you bench that new PR. Eat too little and you’ll damn yourself to a sallow level of hell reserved for vegans and Eliza Dushku.
The challenge is finding…

Chadilaksono: Crack Cookies →
Okay, it’s actually called Momofuku Milk Bar’s Compost Cookie, but I like the other name better, you know, cause it’s like crack.

Cook Clean: Smoked Salmon and Blueberry Spinach... →
With high hopes of the sun coming through those clouds, I made my husband a fresh summer salad to take to work today. So far my kitchen cookery has no mastery over the weather patterns. Too bad.

Summer Staples: Grain Salad
whininganddining:
POSTED BY LIZ
It is officially summer now. There will be no more soups, no more stews, no more cooking at all if possible. It is hot. I don’t even want to walk into the kitchen let alone turn on the stove. But all is well because there is grain salad. This is one of those dishes that is so versatile and customizable that it is impossible to write a recipe for it. In essence,...
