Asparagus & Olive Tapenade Fillo Shells Recipe by Cookin' Canuck

I realize I’m swaying between extremes, like a bungi-jumper standing on a precipice, trying to decide if he’s completely nuts [...]

Shrimp Martini Appetizer Recipe with Tomato, Olives & Jalapeno Pepper

Mar 16, 2012

Here we are, the day before St. Patrick’s Day and I haven’t posted a thing to celebrate the occasion. So, I’m pointing you towards the Irish Cream Cheesecake Fudge Brownies that I posted last year.

Chicken Pinwheel Sandwich Recipe with Roasted Red Pepper, Kalamata Olives & Herb Yogurt

Feb 3, 2012

“Mum, will you teach me to make that before I go to college?” asked my 10 year old son. I think it was potstickers. The frozen kind. Yes, I’m pretty sure we can master that over the next seven or eight years. A couple of days later, he was deep in thought and I asked, [...]

Quinoa Salad with Chickpeas, Kalamata Olives & Mint Recipe

Jul 12, 2011

If you loaded the amount of quinoa our family eats in one year into a small boat, that vessel would sink to the bottom of the sea faster than you could say “healthy mini grain” five times fast. Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is actually healthy; I didn’t just make that up. It is a complete protein [...]

Last week I reviewed each recipe that I made in my second year of blogging in preparation for writing Top Recipes of Year Two and a Giveaway (be sure to enter your name into the drawing for a gorgeous Shun knife). It quickly became apparent that my blog is sadly lacking in the dip and [...]

Crockpot Chickpea Recipe with Balsamic Onions

There are only so many workouts one can do to work off Irish Cream Cheesecake Brownies. After a couple of days of indulgence around here, it was time to break out the healthy recipes.

Marinated Olives with Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Fennel

Feb 7, 2011

Yesterday was full of fist-pumping Super Bowl action, not to mention helping upon helping of Chewy Nutella Oatmeal Bars, Spicy Black Bean Dip, and Braised Country-Style Pork Ribs. The most exercise I got was changing into my elasticized sweatpants. Now, with Valentine's Day just around the corner, I am looking for recipes that are a [...]
