Savoury Mug Recipes My Food Story

on Mar 17, 2023 If you know me, you’d know just how important evening snacks are for me. But as a working woman and mother, I don’t usually have more than a few minutes to whip up a snack. This is why recipes that require hardly any prep, and come together in minutes are definitely right up my alley! For these, and so many other reasons, I am absolutely in love with microwavable mug recipes!...

Simple French Vinaigrette

People are always asking me for the recipe for my french vinaigrette. Problem is I don’t measure. I don’t really have a recipe, It’s just a simple salad dressing with an embarrassingly short list of ingredients. How much mustard?A spoonful. Vinegar? Some. Olive oil? Enough. Just taste it and when you think you have the right balance of acid you have arrived. It’s cooking by feel really. The best way....

Teriyaki Shrimp Broccoli Stir Fry Ready In 30 Mins My Food Story

on May 08, 2019, Updated Jun 14, 2021 We are talking saucy, spicy and very easy teriyaki shrimp broccoli stir fry here. It’s what a girl makes when she has an empty fridge staring back at her and has a growling stomach for a reminder. I always have some frozen shrimp in the fridge and we eat so much broccoli in the house that we should actually be green. But no jokes today guys, because this is some serious 30 minute dinner recipe discussions....

Thai Roast Chicken

I don’t know that this is actually a Thai dish. The flavours are mostly Thai. The roast chicken technique is actually French. The dipping sauce is all Thai. The greens could be from anywhere in Asia. Thai roast chicken with French technique I’m calling it Thai roast chicken though. But it doesn’t matter what you call it really. It’s just a delicious jumble of Asian flavours bolstered by a little French technique....

Thai Tom Yum Soup

It’s really pretty easy. You might have to visit an Asian grocer to get some of the ingredients but after that you are making soup. And simple soup at that. This is tom yum goong. That’s tom yum with shrimp. But it’s also tom yum kung. That’s tom yum that has a clear broth. Maybe it’s tom yum goong kung? I don’t know. It’s damn tasty. I do know that....

Vegan Chocolate Orange Bundt Cake

I had been craving – deeply, darkly, intensely craving – something chocolate-y. I woke up in the mornings thinking of a rich, moist chocolate cake drowning in frosting. I went to bed at night and dreamed of plates stacked high with fudgy vegan brownies. And in between all I wanted to do was dig my teeth into a fat, chunky, vegan chocolate chip cookie. Exit to the real world. Which isn’t so bad, really, now that it contains this luscious, delicious, Chocolate Orange Bundt Cake with a Chocolate Orange Glaze....

Vegan Crack Chilli Tofu Noodle Bowl

I had never been a fan of tofu until the day I cooked up this Chilli Tofu. I fell in love, and each time I now eat Chilli Tofu over a bed of glossy rice noodles in my Vegan Crack Chilli Tofu Noodle Bowl, I fall in love a little more. If you noticed the extra “l” in the chilli, you probably wondered about it, so let me clarify that this chilli is not the thick, beany stew eaten here in the United States....

Vegan Irish Cream Keto Friendly

I have loved Irish cream for as long as I have been an adult, I think, but it’s one of those drinks that’s not easy to have, even once in a while, because it’s loaded with fat and sugar. And after turning vegan I pretty much had to stop until Baileys came out with its almond milk based vegan Irish cream a few years back. After I began eating low carb, that was out too....

Vegan Mango Smoothie

The secret is cardamom which pairs beautifully with mango and adds an exquisite aroma to this smoothie, along with a hint of vanilla.

Summers are made for mangoes, and I can’t wait each year to make delicious mango treats like vegan mango lassi, vegan mango cupcakes, vegan mango cake, vegan mango kulfi and vegan mango bread....

Vegetable Pakora Indian Veg Fritters

What’s a pakora? Pakoras, also called pakoda, bhaji or bhajia across India, are fritters made usually by dunking chopped or sliced veggies in a simple, chickpea-flour batter. The fritters are then deep-fried until they are golden with crispy, brown edges. Vegetable pakoras are the most common, but you can frequently find pakoras made with meat and paneer, an Indian cottage cheese. The pakoras we ate growing up were always made at home, although you can find pakoras served as a street food in India....

Vegetable Stew Hearty And Healthy

A delicious vegetable curry served with basmati rice is a great dinner for weeknights. But if you want a one-dish meal that is just as healthy and tasty, make this one-pot vegetable stew. This stew is as comforting and satisfying as my vegan beef stew or my vegan Irish stew, but it has a very different, albeit just as delicious, flavor. It is loaded not just with a medley of chunky, colorful veggies, it also has chickpeas and quinoa for protein, making it one of the healthiest meals you can treat yourself to....

Air Fryer Tofu

You might also like air fryer chickpeas and air-fryer French fries. If you’ve been sitting on the fence about tofu, just try this easy air fryer tofu recipe!

Bbq Brisket Done Hot And Fast

Not much to a Texas style BBQ brisket really. A simple rub, meat and smoke. Sauce is to hide failures. Intricate rubs just aren’t Texas. Smoke – that’s the secret ingredient. It’s tough to pull off though. Probably the hardest thing there is. Pulled pork is very forgiving. Ribs maybe a bit trickier. But brisket – brisket is tough to nail. This approach makes things easier but if your friends don’t already tell you your pulled pork is the best they’ve ever had maybe you’re not quite ready to take on BBQ brisket....

Beef Pho Easy Vietnamese Pho Bo

It’s no secret I have a thing for Asian soups. Look around this blog. I can’t help myself. If there was such a thing as Asian soups anonymous there would probably be an intervention in my future. I don’t think I’m alone. You can’t go 500 feet where I live without running into a Vietnamese restaurant. And make no mistake. They all specialize in pho. They have other things on the menu but the pho brings the people in....
