The January Buddha Bowl
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
Sometimes called a "Hippie" or "Glory" bowl, a Buddah bowl is basically just a giant bowl filled with a mixture of veggies, grains, greens, nuts/seeds and and topped with a delicious dressing. As part of my January fridge clean out, I work on my cupboards too, by cooking up bit packages of grains, toasting opened packages of nuts and seeds and keeping them in the fridge or jars (in the case of nuts/seeds) for easy assembly of a simple but tasty bowl meal. Since I seem to have an abundance of sweet potatoes in my cold cellar, here is my version of the healthy, hearty Buddah bowl.
The Lazy Gourmet's Jerk Chicken Naan Pizza
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
After all the holiday entertaining, I like to take stock of what's in my freezer as well as give myself a break from cooking - or allow myself to be a "lazy gourmet" for January. This quick and easy pizza is made using store-bought naan bread, Phlippens Jerk Sauce and an array of veggies from my fridge. We also give you alternative ideas for a Butter Chicken or Vegetarian versions at the end of the recipe.

Homemade Eggnog
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
Eggnog is pretty much synonymous with Christmas. What other time of year do you get to drink something that’s basically custard spiked with alcohol? A good eggnog is made up of just a few simple ingredients – alcohol, sugar, cream and raw eggs. Now if you are skeptical of drinking something with raw eggs, take note that the Centre of Disease Control (CDC) tested copious amounts of homemade eggnog to find that the addition of alcohol basically wiped out the risk of any contamination. And if all this isn’t enough to entice you, December 24th is National Eggnog Day. So go ahead and indulge a little – it’s the holidays.
Overnight Holiday Strata
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
You may find yourself with overnight guest this year so preparing a breakfast that is done a day or two ahead will make for an easy Christmas morning meal. It takes about 5 minutes to prepare - giving you more time for what's important - family (or watching Hallmark movies).
