I don’t normally like to diverge from my plans but I made a last minute change with today’s post. I was planning to do steamed king crab legs for today then crab cakes for Friday’s post but the more I thought about it, I wanted to use this post as a moment to reflect on […]
Flavourful Paleo Meatloaf
This week will be the second full week of Life with Aniela. On the plus side, there is still only one noticeable error, that remains, on the website . I’ve given up my stubbornness of trying to fix it on my own. I thought, somehow, that I would be able to handle something like a webpage […]
Steamed Kale with Bacon
In the beginning of my diet phase, we decided to experiment with kale. Neither of us knew the proper way to cook kale so we began by trail and error. I originally saw kale as a harder version of spinach so I made it in a similar manner, except it was harder so I steamed […]
Cucumber Salmon Hors d’oeuvres
Whenever I make my spiced salmon, I love to take a portion of it and make this simple hors d’oeuvre. I don’t know if the salmon is just that good or if the combination of the cucumber and salmon is perfect. As for serving size, my boyfriend and I can clear these out in one […]
Pork with Braised Red Cabbage
So one of the things I’ve been reading over the past few months is Julia Child’s, “Mastering the Art of French Cooking”. I would recommend this book to anyone. I have the 50th anniversary edition, which you can find in my store. It gives you soooo many tips on how to cook and how to do […]
Slow Cooked Spinach and Artichoke Dip
I’ve never made any kind of dip in my life. On Christmas Eve, I decided that I would try to make a spinach artichoke dip. We had been enjoying the idea of cooking things in our new Crock Pot so I decided I would try to do this in there. I went to Whole Foods and […]
Protein Packed Brownies
Over the last few months, I’ve been working on perfecting my breakfast bar technique so that I don’t have the hassle of preparing a lot of food every single morning. The great thing about most of the bars that I’ve created is that they could also double as a dessert. This is one of my […]
Quick and Easy Spiced Salmon
This is definitely one of my personal favourites. It’s so simple and so flavourful that I could almost eat the whole thing in one sitting. Usually, this recipe is enough for just my boyfriend and I but we also like to use part of the recipe to make a salmon topped cucumber appetiser, which is […]
Cod Filets Poached in White Wine
Even before I began my diet, cod was always a typical meal for us. We typically baked it and served it with a garlic and mango sauce. One day I was watching TV and I learned about poaching fish. I had never done this before so I decided to give it a try. The fish […]
Turkey Picadillo
I decided to break away from the usual sort of thing that I do and turn things to the south by doing a Picadillo. This is more of a traditional dish seen in Spain and the Latin American countries. It is typically made with beef but I decided to use ground turkey and add a […]
