Does anyone remember the "Famous Almond Dipping Sauce" from my food programs? This is my favourite way to eat it. With a big pile of fresh salad rolls, stuffed with fresh herbs and veggies.⁠
⁠
I prefer almond sauce over peanut sauce, which is usually overly sweet and has too strong a flavour. I don't even find this sauce requires sweetness added to it. It's well-balanced, a bit spicy, tangy, and yum! ⁠
⁠
1 Tbsp grated ginger⁠
1 clove garlic, minced⁠
2 Tbsp almond butter⁠
1 lime, juiced ⁠
1 Tbsp Tamari or coconut aminos (optional) ⁠
1 tsp chili flakes⁠
1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil⁠
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro leaves or stems, chopped⁠
1/2 tsp sea salt⁠
1/2 cup water (for thinning)⁠
⁠
Place ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth

🍔 Happy National Burger Day! While I love a good burg, I adore a good plant-based version made from scratch. So to throw you off your BBQ game I'll share this recipe I use to include in many of my cookbooks back in the day. I miss eating these guys.

BLACK BEAN QUINOA BURGER
(serves 4, freezes well)

1 Tbsp olive or coconut oil
1/2 small red onion, minced (1/4 - 1/3 cup)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 carrot, grated
2 kale leaves, de-stemmed, minced (or another leafy green)
1/2 tsp EACH red chillies, coriander and sea salt
1 tsp cumin
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed, OR 2 cups fresh
1/4 cup arrowroot powder
2 Tbsp lemon juice + 2 Tbsp water
1 cup leftover cooked quinoa

Saute onion, garlic, carrots, and kale in olive oil. Once softened a bit, add spices and continue cooking for another minute.
Set aside 1/2 cup black beans. Blend remaining black beans, arrowroot (or its substitution), salt, lemon juice and water in a blender until smooth. Combine blended beans, reserved beans, cooked quinoa, and sautéed vegetables in a large bowl. Mix well and refrigerate for a couple hours or overnight.
Heat some oil in a pan. Form four patties from the mixture. Pan-fry in the oil for about 5 minutes on each side, until well browned.⁠
⁠
Yummy and filling. Serve with a simple homemade mango or salsa. Eat on their own, wrapped in leafy green, on top of a grilled portobello, over greens or on a bun.

My gal, Naomi Clement Ceramics, had me snap a few pics of her work a while back. And her work happens to be my favourite, so lucky me! 💙💜💚⁠

Why yes that is maple syrup raining down upon the goodness that is Old Man Chicken & Waffles (available every Thursday). ⁠

And it IS maple syrup season, ya know!

A dreary, rainy, icy day calls for a warm, boozy, spiced pick-me-up.⁠ And it's maple syrup season! 🍁🥃

Happy International Women's Day! 💚💜🤍

I choose to work for myself for a number of reasons. But the main reason is that I choose how I get treated and paid amongst my male colleagues, and I choose where my energy goes and when. I get to make decisions that are the best for me and my family, and there is challenge in that but also a huge privilege. I can acknowledge how oppression exists, as well as my privilege.

This year's theme “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow” calls upon people to work towards a world that is equitable, inclusive, and free from bias and discrimination so the playing field is levelled for women moving forward. And that means women EVERYWHERE!!!!!! Knowing that bias exists is not enough. Take action -

Combating the biases women face in the workplace is essential. Research shows again and again that women are passed up for jobs/promotions (or even try), experience aggression and microaggression in the workplace - more so for women of colour and/or disabilities, LGBTQ2S+ women. Research also shows that the fear to stand up to this is very real.

We can all be better. But I also want to acknowledge the trailblazers and all women and humans fighting for equality. You inspire me. I wouldn't be where I am without you. I love you. And many of you I'm honoured to call friends.

I also want to recognize those making climate change a priority. Because a sustainable future means a lot more than economic sustainability. https://youtu.be/y1GQxI3xotc Watch Climate Action for Women, by Women

There was a time when all I posted was healthy things. Cocktails are healthy in their own way.

Here we’re introducing Junction 56 Distillery’s new Coffee Vodka Liqueur.

Cocktails are fun 🤩… 🍸 (Sound on 🔉)

These were just SOME of the incredibly tasty creations I was fortunate to capture for The Red Rabbit and former Okazu.

I just wanted to show off Mary-Jane, my big beautiful philodendron of joy. 🌿⁠

Once again, the hospitality industry has been put in a precarious position. And that sucks. But we do have options.

ORDER TAKE-OUT!
Go sit on a patio (if you feel comfortable and if it's an option - and it is in some places)!
Buy into any membership program they might be offering!
Purchase gift certificates!
ORDER TAKE-OUT!

Or just know that their dining room shut-down is temporary. And once they open, jump back into supporting them.

We need restaurants. None of you want to cook every single day. And dining out is fu***ng cool.

And it's easier to play with your food (like this) at home. Boneless, buttermilk-brined chicken from Pollo Morta -- and through the shut-down they're offering their $1 Boneless Wing Night deal for take-out (on Thursdays only).

So everything at shop is ridiculously beautiful. I don't even want to take this eucalyptus out of its pretty recyclable package. (I'll re-use the ribbon.) But it’s going in the shower shortly.⁠
⁠
Today I am mostly posting to offer a huge shout-out for her recent decision to not import flowers during the off-season -- and instead offer eco-friendly, locally grown, chemical, bleach & dye-free dried flower bunches. Aren't they pretty?⁠
⁠
We all have to take risks... to stand by what we believe in. And there are so many things to consider always. Like... who knew we'd have to give thought to where we put our dollars when it comes to flowers, right??? ⁠
⁠
Anyway... this made me happy. 🌎 ♻️ 🌸

Is this not the sexiest-looking autumn cocktail you ever did see? It's called SPICE, GURL. 🍂🧡🤍🌻🍹⁠
⁠
And it's an Oktoberfest MARGARITA. So yummy.⁠
With tequila, pumpkin, Oktoberfest beer, cardamom bitters, and a spiced rim. That Britt Holmes is a genius.

Nope. Don't do selfies. But this moment made me happy. Georgian Bay! Fresh after a long hike -- and some homemade ice cream. (And came after some selfie lessons from my kids. It's the best I can do with this hair. Ha!) ⁠

Where's your happy place?
