Cauliflower - Yum - Pear - Yummm - Soup - YUM!! Nothing better than a light but still filling soup on a cold day. 🍵
A quick and simple recipe for pasta tossed in a lemon-garlic butter and enhanced with chopped green olives.
A very easy to prepare dessert using ready made frozen phyllo pastry, ground almonds, honey and pears. I think the fruit center cuts trough the sweetness of the honey and balances the dessert a bit more than straightforward baklava which I also love.

Happy Wednesday! I have been trying to eat "cleaner" this week. While my eating habits are pretty good overall, I do have a wee bit of a sugar addiction. So, this week I am getting my sugar in the form of fruit, starting each day with a smoothie of some kind. If you are looking for smoothie recipes, visit my post about the pineapple spinach smoothie I made the other day. That day I happened to have fresh pineapple in the fridge. Another day we had a few pears lying around getting soft, so I decided to put pear in my smoothie. My son was home for a "snow day" without the snow. He asked if I could make him a "pink" smoothie. His dad has been making smoothies in the mornings lately and he often uses blueberries and a lot of soy milk, which produces a purple but slightly milky-looking smoothie. I favour bananas and strawberries, which happen to be just the ingredients to produce a pink smoothie. I made enough for the both of us to enjoy. Recipe follows. Replace some of the orange juice with water if you prefer less sweetness. My daughter also had a food request recently. More of a party request really. We so enjoyed the family sushi party we had a few weeks ago that she wanted to do it again. She hoped to surprise her brother and her dad, so she polled them in advance about their favourite takeout food, colours and pop. Her brother, her dad and I all picked sushi and that's what she decided to go with, even though it wasn't her personal choice. For the colour scheme, she wanted to please everyone, so we decorated in pink (for her and me) and green (for her brother and her dad). We set up on the coffee table in the basement and watched "Wreck-It Ralph" while we ate. I think it might just become a regular tradition. Nasoya sent me some of their new and improved vegan Nayonaise sandwich spread recently and I used one of their recipes to make vegan banana muffins. Of course, I added chocolate chips. I will be posting more about the recipe soon. And now for a What I Ate Wednesday look at my Tuesday food intake. I started the day with a green smoothie. I keep a tub of organic baby spinach in the fridge so I can throw a handful in my smoothie every day or two. For lunch, I made a panini on a gluten-free bun. I used tomatoes, baby spinach and Daiya shredded mozzarella. As you can see, the gluten-free bun did now hold up to the panini press very well. I followed the sandwich up with some leftover corn pasta with marinara sauce. And then it was Versatile Vegetarian Chili served over brown rice for dinner. This chili is super easy to make and quite tasty. I really should have had salad, but I'm lazy like that. I usually like to top this with guacamole, but we were out of avocados. What's your favourite ingredient to put in or on top of your chili?

“Can I have this?” Ben points to the last slice of galette, sitting alone on the cutting board. “NO!” I scream in my mind. Sensing my hesitation, and because he’s a nice boyfriend, Ben asks, “Do you want some of it?” Um, yes. “How much?” All of it. “Half of it.” Ben smiles and cuts […]
The cole slaw can be partially made in advance; toast the pumpkin seeds, shred the cabbage, radishes and celery up to a day before. The asian pear and manchego do better when sliced the day of serving. The dressing can also be made the previous day.
Here is one of our favorite versions of a quintessential Northwest salad. Ready-to-serve salad greens make this super quick to put together. To prepare pears ahead of time, up to one hour before serving, slice the pears and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the wedges to keep them from browning. Arrange on a plate and cover with plastic wrap until ready to toss the salad.

Serve Creme Anglaise—a classic French sauce—with our Chocolate Souffle.
A surfeit of apples and a bag of pears. I needed an easy, straightforward dessert and these are what I had on hand, so a rustic galette was the most obvious option to us. A galette is like a fruit pizza — thin and crispy crust and an even layer of lightly spiced fruit. It’s less demanding than a pie — no crimped crust to fuss over. It also tastes best at room temperature, so if you have the rest of a meal to cook, this is a relief to do ahead and put to the side.

These easy vanilla pear muffins were inspired by our trip to Paris. Every day we would walk by a tiny bakery that only sold freshly made muffins. We tried lots of them, but our favorite combined vanilla, spices, and fresh pear. This is our attempt at recreating them in our own kitchen.
