A client recently turned me onto an awesome gluten-free cooking blog called Elana’s Pantry. Elana is a celiac who not only hosts an fantastic blog, but she has published a couple of cookbooks. The crust for this veggie pizza comes from The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook. Since Mr. CG and I just bought a new […]
Mr. CG and I had a long day of shopping in preparation for the impending move, so when it came time for dinner we contemplated ordering in, but since we had gotten a big load of groceries in a few days ago I decided to dig deep and get inspired. We are huge fans of […]
Mr. CG and I cannot get enough curry. Any ethnicity, anytime. This week spring is really in the air here in Cowtown so I was feeling like a nice, light noodle bowl for dinner tonight. I dug out one of my favorite cookbooks and got to work. Referencing Meet the Coup Cooks Vegetarian Recipe cookbook, […]
It’s been pouring rain in Calgary for the last week…and then some. I have been doing my best to maintain a positive outlook on the weather, even though it isn’t my favorite. In an attempt to plough through the soppy days, I’ve compiled a list of why the rain isn’t so bad. Believe me? Last […]

As many of you know we have been experiencing sub-zero temperatures here in Calgary for the last few days, which I would say is directly related to the amount of food I have been cooking. The freezer is full, the fridge is full, and my belly is full. Aromas of warm and delicious comfort food […]
Why kicking and screaming, you ask? I think I have just about tofu’d my hubby out. He humored me once again tonight, and ended up loving this dish. I am an avid lover of a local vegetarian restaurant called the Coup. It is an incredible little place that is always filled to the rafters. I […]
I have sensitivities to wheat, gluten, and dairy, and am always on the lookout for great recipes that enable me to indulge from time to time without hurting my gut. I was recently gifted with a new cookbook called 2 Clever Cooks, written by Calgarians Erin Paulson and Dana Meroniuk. Whenever I take a new […]
