It feels like it is time for comforting dishes such as soups, and roast chicken. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/BlackbeanBurgers.php Wednesday September 2, 2015 Veggie burgers that don't make you cry? Look no further. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/CauliflowerChickpeaSalad.php Thursday May 14, 2015 With summer right around the corner, I am working on perfecting my pot-luck/cottage lunch game. Im bringing it strong this year. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/KeyLimePudding.php Monday March 16, 2015 So this pudding is amazing for your digestive health AND tastes great. My mind is imploding right now. I don't know why you aren't dropping everything and making it. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/Falafel.php Monday February 2, 2015 I'm on a tahini kick. So obviously I just HAD to make falafels. And they were delicious. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/CrustedSweetPotato.php Monday January 26, 2015 I have been searching for the ultimate sweet potato fry. It's been a long arduous journey. Fraught with peril... and disappointment. But I have survived. And come out victorious. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/RoastedHalfCauliflower.php Monday January 19, 2015 All hail the mighty cauliflower. Nutritional powerhouse, and delicious topped with dried fruit, pesto, and almonds! http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/TurkeyChickenStewBiscuitCrust.php Monday January 12, 2015 I am constantly reinventing the turkey/chicken pot pie. It's versatile, comes together in a flash, and you can get all your food groups in one small package. Home run. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ButtermilkHerbBiscuits.php Monday January 5, 2015 Sometimes breakfast needs to be extra special... And since the stores are closed you can't get any buttermilk biscuits resulting in you having to make them yourself. The struggle is real. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/PoachedPears.php Wednesday November 12, 2014 It's the fall. And there are an abundance of pears. You need to poach them. Believe me. It's so necessary. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/BakedTofu.php Tuesday November 4, 2014 I hope everyone has sufficiently recovered from their Halloween Candy Coma. I "handed out candy" to children - which realistically turned into me hoarding the majority for myself. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/HalloweenTreats.php Wednesday October 29, 2014 Hey guys! Last week on Marilyn Denis, I made a whole bunch of fun and healthy Halloween Treats! The episode is airing today, so take a look. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/PumpkinCake.php Monday October 13, 2014 Every year, my birthday falls on Thanksgiving weekend. It also happens to be within 3 days of my father's and my mother's birthdays (Happy birthday parents!) http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/CompoundButter.php Tuesday October 7, 2014 Recently I started taking Culinary classes part time to work towards a certificate in Culinary Arts. Because obviously I don't think about food enough during the day... http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/JamieOliver.php Thursday October 2, 2014 It is not often that you get to work with or meet one of your heroes... http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ZucchiniMuffins.php Thursday September 11, 2014 Just in case you wanted to prepare a whole meal using zucchini- I have created a "dessert option". In the form of muffins. They would go great with those zucchini peach appetizers and zucchini cannelloni. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ZucchiniCannelloni.php Thursday September 4, 2014 Zucchini apocalypse got you down? Can't think of more to do with those vegetables, which are threatening to take over your garden? Make some Vegetarian Zucchinni Cannelloni and call it a day. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/BaconDonuts.php Monday February 17, 2014 I don't often make donuts. But when I do.. I make them with candied bacon and Guinness. You're welcome. You should probably go and make these right now. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/SpanishAppleTart.php Wednesday February 5, 2014 We have all heard the classic line - "An apple a day keeps the doctor away". So let's just bake up a whole bunch into a pie and concentrate those apples and positive effects... That's good logic right? Pie is totally healthy-ish- I'm keeping the skins on. Look at all those nutrients! http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/AniseCookies.php Tuesday January 28, 2014 It is WAY too cold out. Do you know how you fix the cold? Cookies. The answer is ALWAYS cookies. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/MixedLentilSoup.php Tuesday January 14, 2014 Another classic soup recipe from the archives. I have been taking the time to re-make a few of my old favourites in order to improve my photography as well as bring back something that you should totally have in your life. What are you waiting for? http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ChickenSoup.php Friday January 3, 2014 Happy New year people! It's hibernation time until this terrible weather slows down. I am hibernating with a bowl-full of chicken noodle soup and a good book. Wake me up when it's spring. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/FauxFudge.php Wednesday December 25, 2013 Fudge gets a facelift. It needed it. This one will knock your socks off. Its healthy and chocolatey and you need to make it. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/LeekSoup.php Tuesday December 17, 2013 One from the archives. It needed a facelift- and it's just so healthy and green and comforting that I had to repost. Make some soup! http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/BerryMousse.php Tuesday December 10, 2013 Lighten up your dessert table. This is what I am serving on Christmas. Nobody wants a rich decadent dessert after that kind of feast. Perfect end to a heavy meal, this mousse is light and airy. AND holy flavour-town. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/WheatSeedBread.php Tuesday December 3, 2013 There really is nothing that beats the smell of freshly baked bread. Making your own loaf is such a therapeutic and rewarding experience. When your bread rises and you get the golden crackly crust- it truely feels like an amazing accomplishment. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/AlmondHazelnutButter.php Tuesday November 26, 2013 Almond-Hazelnut Butter is a revelation. Its crazy how simple this is to bring together. And it's delicious on pretty much anything. Except grapefruit. Nothing can make grapefruit taste good. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/CocoaBunWreath.php Tuesday November 19, 2013 Who says dessert needs copious amounts of butter and sugar to create a sinful snack? http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/GingersnapGranola.php Wednesday November 13, 2013 Treat yourself and make gingersnap granola! It's like having dessert for breakfast (but more socially acceptable then cookies). http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/SquashParmesanSoup.php Tuesday November 5, 2013 Soup is my favourite way to sneak vegetables into your diet disguised by amazing flavours like parmesan and lemon. Soup is totally like a mascarade ball. Well, it's like someone AT the ball. You can't really tell who they are- add a flavour mask and you create something mysterious and tempting. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/SingleServingPancakes.php Tuesday October 29, 2013 Sometimes you need to make yourself pancakes. Treat yourself. Have a lazy Sunday. You don't need company to make the morning special. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/CurriedAppleQuinoa.php Monday October 21, 2013 Get ready to OD on apple recipes for the next 2 months. You have been warned. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/PumpkinCrunchWaffles.php Sunday October 13, 2013 Best birthday brunch = waffles with a delicious nut-crunch topping. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/AvocadoChocolateMousse.php Tuesday October 8, 2013 I have an ongoing competition with myself to create "healthy" desserts. I have a persistent sweet tooth, but also a healthy conscience from my years of studying Nutrition in university. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/PistachioSesameGranolaBars.php Friday September 27, 2013 So- thank you in advance for indulging my pistachio obsession. I can't help it. Every time I look into my cupboards I am immediately drawn towards the pistachios... And sesame seeds...Heck and then the honey comes out and I don't even realize it. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/PistachioChicken.php Wednesday September 11, 2013 Pistachios and sesame are a bit of an obsession of mine. I love the way they compliment eachother. I hadn't realized the extent of this until I looked back at my recent posts and then at the post ideas I have in cue. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ZucchiniNoodles.php Wednesday September 4, 2013 We are here to talk about zucchini noodles. Which are totally fab. And healthy. And delisious. If you have a mandolin, these come together in a flash! You have to try this asap. Think of the possibilities! With a lovely tomato sauce. Or garlic oil. With meatballs. Mmmmm. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ChocolateChipCookiesSilk.php Tuesday August 27, 2013 I don't often make chocolate chip cookies (although I do realize they are one of staples of life for some people). And...since I know some of these people, I often get request to make them. As a result I am always looking out different recipes. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/CreamyAvocadoDip.php Tuesday August 27, 2013 Theres something about avocado dips that get me every time. I love them. With chips... on my burger... with vegetables... tacos... you could probably even slather it on your face as a rejuvinating mask. The possabilities are endless. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/BananaIcePops.php Tuesday August 13, 2013 I have been seeing these pop up over the interwebz, but placed them in my mental filing cabnit of recipes to make at a later date. Sometimes things get lost in there... I need to upgrade my operating system. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/GelatoIceCreamTasting.php Tuesday July 30, 2013 Let's talk about ice cream. Feel like making some? You know you do. I'm glad we are on the same page. Especially when its lemon ginger- and the flavour is like a revelation. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/IceCreamTasting.php Monday July 22, 2013 So last week we had an ice cream party! Just in time for the biggest heat wave of the summer. I hid inside for most of it- And tried to wear as little clothing as possible- thank goodness for dresses! I can't even imagine putting real clothes on. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/GuestPostCookingQuinoa.php Monday July 15, 2013 Hi Friends! If you are looking for me I am not home today! I am super excited to have the oppertunity to guest post on the blog Cooking Quinoa! Check it out! http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/LambKofte.php Thursday July 11, 2013 I'm continuously on the lookout for inventive and different dinner recipes to add to my rotation. I get tired of the same old dinner fare every week. I need some variety in my life. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ZucchiniGratin.php Thursday July 4, 2013 When you are away on vacation, you often don't eat normally. There are too many croissants and cheeses to try. The vegetables are swapped for chocolate. For the first few days it's all "Yes Chocolate and Carbs! Life is Amazing!" then it sinks in that you haven't seen something green in days and your body doesn't know what hit it. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/PizzaParty.php Friday June 14, 2013 Whenever I take pictures of my food before dinner, my family or friends (whoever I am cooking for) are at my throat trying to steal bits off my set. They sit at the table and heckle me. My job is hard (just kidding) http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/StuffedMushrooms.php Wednesday June 5, 2013 When I am having cookers-block (it can be a serious problem at times), my favourite place to turn is the library. This way I don't have to commit to a book if I don't like it (let's not read into this too much shall we). http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/MungBeanSalad.php Wednesday May 29, 2013 When I am having cookers-block (it can be a serious problem at times), my favourite place to turn is the library. This way I don't have to commit to a book if I don't like it (let's not read into this too much shall we). http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/LavenderBerryBiscotti.php Tuesday May 21, 2013 Dried lavender is one of those flowers which smells gorgeous, looks lovely and doesnt wilt! What a wonderful centerpiece for your kitchen table. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/QuinoaTofuBurgers.php Monday May 13, 2013 Burger season is upon us. I think that everyone needs a good burger recipe. But what about a good veggie burger recipe? Don't run for the hills yet! These are fab. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/Pretzels.php Monday May 6, 2013 These. Are. Delicious. Yea. Pretzels. I did this. AND I made them into burger buns. Double win. These soft pretzels totally make an awesome snack while you watch the NHL playoffs. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/PurpleCabbageSalad.php Sunday April 28, 2013 Thunderstorms are one of my favourite things about the warmer months. I love a good torrential rain. I like it even better when it's followed by rainbows. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/TomatoSalmon.php Saturday April 20, 2013 No biggy, just a quick week-night meal. I was watching Iron Chef America and was inspired. You never know when inspiration will hit. I usually just take it and run with it. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ChocolateBeetMuffins.php Wednesday April 3, 2013 If I ever have children I will totally sneak vegetables into EVERYTHING. Smoothies? Check. Muffins? Hells to the yes. Pancakes? Way ahead of you. They won't know what hit them. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/WWChoreg.php Monday March 25, 2013 Half whole wheat Armenian Easter bread! My grandmother is about to disinherit me... http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ChickenTagine.php Thursday March 14, 2013 Do you have a go to dinner party dish? This is mine. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/DessertBorek.php Tuesday February 26, 2013 I apologize for my almost 2 week blogging hiatus. I have found myself lacking in motivation and have been feeling more inclined to sit on the couch and watching episode after episode of Doctor Who than do my school work and post recipes. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/Valentines2013.php Wednesday February 13, 2013 Valentines day is fast approaching! I was never one to celebrate the holiday- but I couldn't help but re-post this recipe in time for D-day.. er.. V-day. I make them ever year and they are always a hit! http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/MintNanaimoBars.php Tuesday February 05, 2013 Lately I've been trying my hand at some more meal-related dishes and letting my baking take a rest. Then there's less temptations around the house for me to eat (because I have no willpower). http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/CoconutSquashSoup.php Monday January 28, 2013 Have you ever had a movie-moment? I totally had a Cinderella moment. Sans handsome prince. It was actually more embarrassing than cute. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/HashbrownQuiche.php Monday January 21, 2013 I don't often make quiche, but when I do, I make it with hash-browns. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/RosemarySesameBread.php Tuesday January 15, 2013 I've started the new year out right. I have spent the majority of my time watching movies. It may be giving me a skewed outlook on reality, but I'm trying to get it out of my system before my workload gets too intense... http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/CabbageSalad.php Thursday January 10, 2013 Have you ever heard the expression you can't make friends with salad? Lies...You just have to make the right one. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/DetoxSmoothie.php Tuesday January 1, 2013 Happy New Year! Were you bad last night? Did you maybe eat too much, drink too much or overindulge in any way over the holidays? http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/LentilMeatballs.php Friday December 28, 2012 Oh! Hi! I didn't forget about you I swear. I'm just in heavy hibernation mode from a self-inflicted food coma. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/RaincoastCrisps.php Monday December 17, 2012 Have you ever had Raincoast crisps? Crispy crackers studded with dried fruit and nuts. Super addictive and pair perfectly with cheese. I made my own! You can too. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ChristmasWrapUp.php Monday December 10, 2012 If you follow EC on facebook you may have heard that I have been procrasti-baking. It's exam time (why am I putting myself thorough this AGAIN?), hence I am trying my hardest to be productive in every other area of my life OTHER than studying. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/FigPizza.php Saturday December 1, 2012 Did you know that pizza is like a magic food? It brings people together. Good friends and good food are what makes living in a new city so much better. When I first moved to Toronto, it was terribly lonely. I left all my lovely friends to move to a huge city where I knew essentially no one. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/BeetCake.php Friday November 23, 2012 Remember those candied beets I made? I obviously had a plan for them. It included cake. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/CandiedBeets.php Tuesday November 20, 2012 If you follow my facebook page, you may have seen I posted this past weekend about making candied beets. I'll keep you hanging until Friday about the finished presentation. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/CookieDoughPops.php Thursday November 15, 2012 You have GOT to try these... Make them for your friends and see if they can tell the difference between real cookie dough and this healthier version. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/Crepes.php Thursday November 8, 2012 Sundays = lets-try-and-get-all-the-work-done-that-we-slacked-off-on-all-week-day. Let's be real, I usually end up sleeping in, making a nice breakfast (like crepes!) and wathching movies. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/FigWalnutCrackers.php Tuesday October 30, 2012 Weather got you down? You know what I do when I'm feeling sad? http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/CarrotCake.php Friday October 26, 2012 Let's eat lots of vegetables. Let's put them in cake (that totally counts right?) http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ZucchiniPancakes.php Saturday October 20, 2012 There are some things that are comforting. Like fires in the cold depths of winter. Days of relaxation where you have no work to do. And food. Like pasta... and ice cream... and white bread... http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/OrangeAlmondCake.php Saturday October 13, 2012 October = Birthday Month. And that means birthday cake. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ParmesanRosemaryCrust.php Wednesday October 10, 2012 Well - I survived Thanksgiving! And it was delicious. The best part about holidays when we have turkey is making turkey pot pie with the leftovers! YUM! I almost like it better than the actual turkey dinner. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/RedPepperSoup.php Sunday October 7, 2012 Cold weather = sitting on the couch wrapped in blankets (or snuggies- I won't lie, I want one) with hot roasted red pepper soup and old Disney movies. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/EspressoGelato.php Tuesday October 2, 2012 A year ago EC began. I can't believe how the time has flown by. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/Pitas.php Monday September 24, 2012 Have you ever watched grass grow? Watching pitas rise in the oven is nothing like that. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/KaleTabouli.php Thursday September 20, 2012 There are some things that mystify me. For instance, automobile climate control. One second it's too hot, you turn on the air and it becomes too cold. Maybe I'm just too high-maintenance. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/BananaScones.php Friday September 14, 2012 Because it's sunny today let's talk about our favourite things. Crisp autumn mornings... thunderstorms...Banana bread baking in the oven... If I could have perfume that smelled like banana bread I would be in heaven. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/CornSalad.php Wednesday September 5, 2012 I just moved to a new city to complete another chapter in my schooling- becoming a Registered Dietician (YAY). AND I did not bring a single pair of socks. I am definitely starting the year off on the right (sockless) foot. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/LemonMeringueIceCream.php Friday August 31, 2012 This ice cream changed my life. Ok that is a bit of an exaggeration in that sense but in the literal sense, it did. Becuase now I can supply myself with lemon meringue ice cream and eat it all- which will probably not be a good change for my "all things in moderation" motto. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/LemonCurd.php Sunday August 26, 2012 Fact: I totally make this all the time and eat it straight from the jar. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/PeachCustardTarts.php Tuesday August 21, 2012 Don't you hate it when you stub your toes? I did it twice yesterday on the same damn table. It's metal. It hurt a lot. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ChocolateRaspberryTarts.php Friday August 10, 2012 Do you ever wish for something and then when you get it decide you didn't ACTUALLY want it? Go away rain. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/BurgerBuns.php Wednesday August 1, 2012 I dropped my phone in a lake... Real life. I think it wanted to go swimming because it was so hot out. Unfortunately my phone doesn't know how to swim so a rescue mission was in order. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/TomatoFeta.php Saturday July 28, 2012 This is not a revolutionary recipe. Sometimes you just need to make something super simple, call it a recipe and be done with it. Sometimes the tried and true ones are the best types of recipes. They leave plenty of time for lounging and doing nothing. Ideal. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ChaiGelato.php Monday July 23, 2012 Did you know that July is almost over? Yea you probably did. You're probably one of those observant people. I on the other hand looked at the calendar this morning and almost had a conniption. Where has the summer gone!? I still have so many ice cream recipes to try! http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/IsraeliCouscousRisotto.php Wednesday July 18, 2012 I think about food 82% of my day. For example in the mornings I think about what I'll be making for dinner... the next day. I think it's a disease. One without a cure- because you always need to eat. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/RawKaleSalad.php Thursday July 12, 2012 My will-power has been dwindling recently. Have people ever told you that you eat more in the winter to raise your body fat so you stay warmer in the cold months? I don't think this is true. I eat just as much in the summer time. This is the season when I want to sit on a dock and eat chips and drink cocktails, and eat ice cream, and have barbecues. Every day. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/DonutsGlutenFree.php Monday July 9, 2012 When I went to make these donuts for my gluten and lactose intolerant friend, I needed almonds (ground almonds are my favourite gluten free flour). Unfortunately the almonds live far back in the depths of my baking supply cupboard. Its a dangerous place that cupboard. One wrong move and your toast. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/RaspberryMojitos.php Wednesday July 4, 2012 Happy Tuesday-after-the-long-weekend! Back to reality...I trekked up to my cottage for the weekend with a few friends. Totally relaxing. I meant to take more photos, but I couldn't hold my camera AND a mojito at the same time. It was a major problem. The mojito won. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/MintGelato.php Monday June 25, 2012 Heat means you need something cool to eat. Obviously I interpret that as eat ALL the ice cream. Especially if it is homemade mint ice cream. You should probably eat all of it. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/FennelAppleSalad.php Friday June 22, 2012 Summertime means lots and lots of fresh produce and fresh tastes and mint. So much mint! http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/CappuccinoEntremet.php Monday June 18, 2012 I have the best father. I know a lot of people probably think that but I am totally right. Here's why... http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/Tzatziki.php Thursday June 14, 2012 I've been buying tzatziki for years. It's delicious. I love it. I might love it more than my first(un)born child (sorry future child should you ever exist- I hope you don't read this). http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/LemonTartVenusTransit.php Wednesday June 6, 2012 It's funny the way almost anything can inspire a cooking project. Yesterday I watched the very rare Transit of Venus. So I'm thinking... mmmm... Lemon tart with blueberry transit. And voila... an edible science project. Check it out! http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/VegetarianChilli.php Tuesday June 5, 2012 I totally made this chili the other day. My brothers totally didn't know it was vegetarian (I totally didn't tell them). http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/StrawberryRhubarbCrisp.php Wednesday May 29, 2012 Crisps are like the lazy persons version of pie. But to make matters better- I find crisps much more preferable! http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ApricotCoconutBiscotti.php Friday May 24, 2012 When life gives you coconut, make some biscotti. That IS how that saying goes isn't it? http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/StuffedPotatoes.php Tuesday May 22, 2012 Twice baked potatoes are like mashed potatoes to the extreme. Obviously so much better. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/TahiniCake.php Tuesday May 15, 2012 When I saw this recipe, my immediate reaction was YES lets do it. Tahini? In a cake? Sign me up. Where are my cake pans... http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/RoastedAsparagus.php Saturday May 12, 2012 There is something to be said for simplicity... and vegetables. Grilled asparagus - Perfectly low maintenance. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/CurrantButtermilkScones.php Monday May 6, 2012 I have a confession to make. I totally have a crush on scones with dried fruit. Kinda like how I have a crush on thunderstorms... and boys who hold doors for me. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ThaiNoodles.php Thursday May 3, 2012 Let's make some dinner. Oh wait. Are you feeling pretty lazy today? Do you just want to throw some stuff into a pot and have it magically appear as dinner? No stirring, no timing.. no difficult steps? http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ChocolateGingerCookies.php Saturday April 28, 2012 I don't often make cookies. I don't find them particularily pretty to look at or terribly interesting to make. However, my roomates LOVE cookies, and request I make these ones quite often. I don't always give in... but when I do, I am always pleased with the decision because they really are quite tasty. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/FishCrackers.php Tuesday April 23, 2012 Guess what I made! Who didn't love goldfish crackers as a kid? Wait... why do you need to be a kid to love them? http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/LemonPoppyseedLoaf.php Friday April 20, 2012 For the most part when I create a new recipe, it turns out alright. Theres the occasional masterpiece right off the bat, but I do end up making a lot of things I deem subpar and I work on to perfect... and then there are the misses... I like to pretend I never have those... http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/Sushi.php Wednesday April 18, 2012 The weather is playing tricks on me. Yesterday was so nice and warm in the morning. Like summer. Then there were the tornado like winds and rain that almost blew me off my bike. Biking in a tornado - bad idea. Lets boycott the crazy weather. Stay in and make sushi - good idea. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ArtisanBreadAtHome.php Friday April 13, 2012 Do not fear the bread. Make some tomorrow. Impress your friends and family. It's the right thing to do. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/Hummus.php Thursday April 12, 2012 Hummus is one of my favourite sandwich spreads. AND it is SO easy to make (pretty much throw everything in a food processor or blender and let er' have it)- BONUS. Are you sold yet? http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/EggFight.php Monday April 9, 2012 We had an energy efficient Easter this year! Let me tell you how. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/CaramelCorn.php Friday April 6, 2012 Caramel and I don't get along. We got in a fight one time. Let's just say I didnt win. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/Cheoreg.php Monday April 2, 2012 Easter traditions include more than just chocolate. In my family, we have two which make the holiday special. We make Cheoreg (which is an Armenian Easter bread), and we have egg fights (which I will describe in another post since we have not coloured our eggs yet). Cheoreg is similar to challah or egg bread although it has a sweeter taste. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ChocolateAvocadoLoaf.php Friday March 30, 2012 I often do my recipe formulating while im driving. It's the perfect quiet time to brainstorm ideas. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/ChickenMeatballs.php Monday March 26, 2012 Recently I have been trying to recreate dishes that traditionally use ground beef into using chicken or turkey! Not to say you shouldn't eat beef, I just strongly believe that you should limit your intake of red meat to only once in a while and consume leaner proteins more often like chicken and fish. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/LambStew.php Wednesday March 21, 2012 Have you read the Hunger Games? You should. This delicious lamb stew is inspired from a dish in the book. http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/BananaBread.php Banana Bread Recipe By Mara http://www.elementalcustard.com/pages/CauliflowerCarrotSoup.php Cauliflower Carrot Soup By Mara
