Welcome to Fall 2014

2014-09-22T14:28:00.000-04:00

Welcome to Fall ....

I have a love \ hate relationship with fall :) I love it for the colours , and those rare perfect days , when the sun is beaming down and the leaves are blowing around . I hate it because .. it means summer ( my fave season ) is over :(( Its time to clean out most of the gardens , close the pool and get ready for the deep freeze !
Enjoy the show :)

Love Hummus !

2014-09-06T13:09:00.000-04:00

Love homemade hummus !! I made two for a neighbor's pool party .. on the left is a spicy chili, roasted garlic and basil .. on the right , a roasted red onion , thyme and fresh garlic :)) MmmmMmmm just add some 9 grain crackers and your set ! Total cost for both $5 ( 20 people snacks worth ) The garlic & herbs were from my own garden too , making it extra special :)

Sausage n Broccoli Pita Pizza

2014-03-16T19:35:00.000-04:00

Love making pita pizzas... so simple, so quick and extremely delicious !

I recently had my first attempt at homemade sausages ( Garlic n Onion ) and just happened to have a couple leftover ... So .. I just had to try them on a pizza .

Ingredients : ( Per Serving )

1 Whole Wheat Pita
1 Cooked Garlic Onion Sausage ( Sliced )

1/4 of a Red Pepper ( diced ) 1/3 head of broccoli ( small florets )

1 cup of cheese , blend of mozzarella, and 5yr old cheddar ( sliced of shredded ) 4 cremini mushrooms ( sliced )
Splash of EVOO
Salt n Pepper to taste

Crisp up the pita in the oven , 3 or 4 minutes per side at 350f
Arrange the sliced sausage, broccoli, mushrooms and red pepper,
sprinkle with a little salt n pepper
Cover with the cheeses , and back into the oven on an oven safe plate
about 15 minutes at 350F , or 3 minutes under the broiler ...
and you are ready to eat !

I usually leave mine in for a few more minutes as I prefer it extra crispy , however ... I was too hungry !

Simple, Good Food .. and the best part is its inexpensive and you can use whatever you happen to have in the fridge .

Peace , Love and Good Food

Roasted Chicken Pasta Bake

2014-03-09T14:29:00.001-04:00

Love making comfort foods, not only are they delicious , but they are usually very simple and cheap .... not that I overly like the word cheap ... preferring frugal , but it seems to fit ! I even named a recipe series after it .. Good Food , Cheap ! Hahaha This one certainly fits the bill with a total cost of under $10 ... and 6 to 8 servings :)) $1.25 a plate sound good for a balanced meal ?

Ingredients :

One Pound of Pasta ( Rotini )

One Pound of Roasted Chicken ( leftovers )

One Jar of Stewed Tomatoes ( homemade )

One head of Broccoli (small florets )
One Red Pepper ( sliced )
A Handful of Cremini Mushrooms (sliced )
A Couple of Onions (sliced )
A Couple cloves of garlic ( minced )

A 1/4lb of Mozzarella ( shredded )
A 1/8lb of Aged Cheddar ( shredded )
A 1/16lb of buffalo parmesan ( fine shred )

Prepare the pasta as per the packages instructions ... cutting short the cook time by a minute or two helps with the finished dish I find :) Assemble all your ingredients , and start building dinner ... pasta in first ( I use my lasagna dish ) then add the chicken, onion , mushrooms & stewed tomatoes ... season at this point , S&P , Italian Herbs ... diced garlic :) mix it up well, and pop into a 350F oven for about 20 minutes .

After twenty minutes .. and the cheeses and broccoli , and back into the oven for another 15 to 20 minutes .

Ta.... Da !!! Dinner is served :) Just let the pan rest for a couple of minutes , before digging in ...

Portion it out , add some garlic bread or a caesar salad if you like and enjoy !

There you have it ... My Three cheese Pasta bake ... you can easily substitute any .. or all of the ingredients and make it your own dish :) I hope you enjoy !

Peace, Love and Good Food

Crispy Paprika Pork Skillet Pizza

2014-02-08T11:23:00.002-05:00

Just love my latest creation .... Mashed Potato Skillet Pizzas :))

So good, so easy , and I must say ..just a tad addictive !

It has gotten to the point where I'm making mashed potatoes just to make this,hahaha

Ingredients :

2 Cups Garlic Mashed Potato
1 cup Crispy Paprika Pork
1/3 Red Pepper , Sliced
4 Cremini Mushrooms, Sliced

1/2 Yellow Onion , Sliced
1/2 Cup Aged Cheddar, Sliced & Crumbled
1/2 Cup grated Mozzarella

( Crispy Pork.. Sliced up Pork Loin .. caramelized in a pan with hot smoked paprika, butter and S&P .. simply pan fry it on low for an hour or so , stirring occasionally )

Preheat oven to 350F , pan can be preheated too if you like.
Drizzle the pan with a bit of EVOO
Use a fork to smush the mashed potato in the pan
Start adding the toppings... Crispy Pork, Peppers, Mushrooms ...

If your Mashed is cold, you will want to put the pan (w/ mashed ) into the oven for 15 minutes or so to warm up .. before adding your toppings :)

Add the Pork, Mushrooms, Peppers & Onions ...

Top with your cheeses .. and pop it into a 350F oven

Check it after 20 minutes ... if you like the looks of it, dig in ... I usually leave mine in for about 30 minutes

Thats it.. grab a towel , and take your skillet to your seat at the table or couch ! Enjoy :))

This recipe is part of my Creative Leftover series , any feedback would be greatly appreciated .

Peace , Love and Good Food !

Bangers n Mash

2014-01-17T19:39:00.003-05:00

I love Bangers n Mash, not only was it one of my favourites growing up , but it always reminds me of home ( England ) , and is still one of my favourite meals today . Now, mind you .. my Bangers n Mash dish , is not my Mums , which while delicious! Would be lacking in garlic and spice ... my two favourites :) Hahaha For those of you that have never had this , or don't even know what it is ... You are going to love it :) Bangers are sausages , typically an English Banger is a short fat little sausage seasoned with herbs and spices, containing ground pork and bread .. but that can vary widely from region to region , fennel was quite popular when I was younger. The name Banger , mostly got its name from WWII when rationing was in full effect and the sausages were likely to have a higher water content , causing them to explode if not cooked carefully :))
Mash , well.. quite simply its Mashed Potatoes :) Either simple or spruced up with some garlic and herbs .. I much prefer the later ! I like to use Yukon or Russets , however any type will work , the ones shown here were white.

Ingredients : 2 Large Servings

6 medium potatoes

Sea Salt & Black Pepper
2 cloves of garlic
Butter

Four Sausages, These were Chipotle Feta, from a local butcher.
10 small cremini mushrooms - Sliced
1 1/2 Cups Frozen Sweet Peas

2 medium onions - Sliced
Dried Italian Herbs
Lea & Perrins

1. Grab a large pot , fill with 2/3rds with water, add garlic cloves, and a pinch of salt ( not required, but i like it ) onto a medium high stove .

2. Wash and Scrub your spuds , roughly dice them into 3/4 to 1 inch cubes, add to the pot of water

3. Bring to a boil , and simmer until fork tender ( about 30 minutes )

Meanwhile ...

4. Grab two large fry pans, add a pat of butter to each, medium low .

5. Add Sausages to warm pan #1... turning occasionally until browned all sides until fully cooked ( will depend on the size of the sausage ) I slowly cook mine for 30 minutes .. or until the mashed is ready.

6. Add Onions to warm pan #2 , after ten minutes of caramelizing , add the mushrooms, a few dashes of L&P, and a good pinch of herbs. Continue cooking until the potatoes are nearly done ( 25 minutes total )

At this point ... the sausages should be cooked thru, onions and mushrooms caramelized , and the potatoes fork tender.

7. Add a couple pats of butter to pan #2 ... and the frozen peas . Give the pan a good stir ...

8. Drain almost all the water from the spuds , leaving a small amount in the bottom .

9. Add a couple pats of butter to potatoes , a pinch or two of herbs, salt n pepper to taste , and start mashing .. Should only take a minute ... I like mine a little chunky :)

( Note I do not use milk .. just butter, and a bit of the potato water , if you like creamy mashed feel free to add milk to suit, stock works well too ! )

10. Time to plate ... Add a couple scoops of potato to the centre of the plate , arrange sausages around it , and then pour the peas, onions and mushrooms over the top , grab a knife and fork ....

And Enjoy ! !

Good Quality Sausages are a must :)

MmmmMmmm one of my favourite sides

Ta Da !! Bangers n Mash !!

One Word..... YUMMY !!

I really hope you have enjoyed seeing this as much as I enjoy devouring it ! Hahahaha Love this combination , and typically enjoy it at least a couple times per month . If you happen to have made too much mash, please check out this recipe ... you might find yourself making extra on purpose like i do ! hahaha

Winter Sowing, Gardening in January

2014-01-14T15:05:00.001-05:00

Its winter , Its cold and dark outside , not what you would call good growing weather !! Despite that I always seem to get an itch to get out there and do something ... which due to living in Canada , is usually impossible ! That was until last year , when i discovered winter sowing :)) Such a wonderful, simple way to get your hands in the dirt again , planting seeds ...

Winter Sowing Chili Peppers, Basil & Zucchini to start// mostly b/c that was what I had on hand , and I could only scavenge 3 containers this week :)) More to follow !

Garden Tip :I highly recommend keeping a garden journal , point form is just fine , it will come in handy , and once you have a few years in the book , a very handy reference esp. if your like me and like to try experiments and tend to forget where or what they were ! Hahaha

Required :
Good Quality , or Organic Potting Soil
Clean plastic jugs , 2L to 4L sizes , Gallon milk jugs seems to work best
Seeds , organic or heirlium
Sharp Scissors or Knife
Duct Tape
Permenant Marker

Simply cut the jug , about 4 iches from the bottom .. almost all the way around , leaving a short side as a hinge ... fill with soil to just below the cut .

The seeds will need to breathe ... so a few slashes or cuts around the top are required . ( 6 to 8 seems to be fine ) Also.. use that marker ! If you have more than a few jugs it will be near impossible to keep them all straight without labels!

Pop your seeds in ... I over seed slightly , with the expectation of thinning them out come spring . If your soil is really dry , you will want to add a little water at this point .. not soaked , damp is good enough .

Duct Tape to the rescue ... Tape up the cut, all the way round. Bring your jugs outside ... somewhere away from dogs if you have them , or they will become pee magnets ! No further coverings are required , if it snows , just leave them be ... no worries at all :)

It is really that simple ... come spring as the weather warms up , mother nature will do her thing ... the seeds will sprout , and the plastic container will act as a mini greenhouse giving your plants the much need protection during the delicate phase ...

I do hope this helps you get a jump start on spring ... I will be following up with at least two more posts :))

Peace, Love & Happy Gardening

Side note : This recipe is Gluten Free

Pop into the oven for about 20 minutes, the bacon should just starting to get crispy

Remove from oven , Sprinkle on the Cheddar
Crack your eggs on top
and return to the oven for 12 minutes

Turkey Meatball Pan Pizza

2013-12-17T16:56:00.000-05:00

It is that time of the year when I have to start using up what's in the freezer , partially to save money , and b/c it is a good thing to do :) Makes room for new deals , and creations. Found some ground turkey ... and my first thought was meatballs ... second thought was I wanted pizza ... So ... Hahahaha

Turkey Meatball Pan Pizza

Ingredients : Makes (1) 12 x17 Pan Pizza

Crust - 2 cups of flour - 6 Tbsp EVOO - 1 1/3 Cup Hot Water- 4.5 Tsp Pizza Yeast - 1.5 Tsp Sea Salt - 1 Tsp Dehydrated Garlic & Basil - 1 Tbsp Sugar ( In large bowl , mix dry ingredients well, add the wet and using two wooden spoons , mix and knead for about 6 minutes , spread out using your fingers into an oiled baking tray )

Pizza

Prosciutto Mushroom & Jalapeno Pan Pizza

2013-12-10T15:27:00.002-05:00

Just love making pizza at home, even the worst one is usually twice as good as take out :)
Finally , after being stuck on pita pizzas for about 2 years , so easy , so quick, and the price was right at 6 loaves for $1 ... However my real passion is for from scratch pizza , there is something rewarding about making everything yourself.

So I bought myself some pizza yeast , and dove back into it .

Ingredients : Makes (1) 12 x17 Pan Pizza

Crust - 2 cups of flour - 6 Tbsp EVOO - 1 1/3 Cup Hot Water- 4.5 Tsp Pizza Yeast - 1.5 Tsp Sea Salt - 1 Tsp Dehydrated Garlic & Basil - 1 Tbsp Sugar ( In large bowl , mix dry ingredients well, add the wet and using two wooden spoons , mix and knead for about 6 minutes , spread out using your fingers into an oiled baking tray )
Pizza - 3 Tbsp Sauce , I used my Spicy Smoky Sweet Ketchup ( SSS )
- Two Cups of grated cheese ( I blended mozzarella and 5yr old cheddar )
One Red Onion , Slivered
6 Cremini Mushrooms , Sliced
1 Jalapeno, Sliced
10 Slices of Prosciutto Salami, cut into thirds

After pressing the dough into the pan , cover lightly with whatever sauce your using .
Preheat Oven to 415F

Sprinkle 1/3 the cheese
Start adding the toppings , keeping in mind the proscuitto needs to be on top to get crispy .

Once the toppings are on , its time for the rest of the cheese :)

Straight into the preheated oven for about 12 minutes , reduce the temperature to 350 and continue baking for 8 more minutes . ( I should note , this is for a slightly well done pizza ) You can skip the last step and just bake for 15 minutes if you prefer a normal doneness ( Is that a word ??? Hahaha )

That is it , remove from the oven , and grab a plastic or wooden spoon to avoid scratching your pan .

You can stop admiring your handy work now , and slice and serve !

MmmmMmmm Good !

That's it ... this should feed 4 people for dinner , and is ready in just under 30 minutes :)
Topping options are endless , This was a particularly good combination for just 5 toppings .

Peace, Love and Good Food :)

Mashed Potato Skillet Pizza

2013-12-01T13:09:00.001-05:00

The Original Dish :)

Mexican Sausages from the butcher , Local Yukon Spuds & Cremini Mushrooms , Onion & Garlic from my garden , and some flash frozen peas ... Oh can't forget the butter either ! Hahaha

I don't know about you , but i LOVE Bangers n Mash :) Its more of a cool weather meal for me , as all that boiling water really heats up the kitchen . So , earlier this week I made myself some ( See above )

I must say, it was delicious ! Such Simple, Good Food :) As always tho , I made way more than I could eat in one sitting ... Then I had a thought. On how to recreate the leftovers into something different , and tasty !

Ingredients :
1 Sausage ( Preferably from a butcher )
2 Cups Garlic mashed Potatoes ( Or whatever is your fancy )
2 Cremini Mushrooms, Sliced
1/2 Red Onion , Sliced
1/2 Jalapeno , Sliced
1/2 cup Mozzarella , small cubes
2 thin slices 5 yr old cheddar , diced

You will need an oven safe pan for this , I choose my 8" cast iron skillet ...

Preheat oven to 350F , pan can be preheated too if you like.
Drizzle the pan with a bit of EVOO
Use a fork to smush the mashed potato in the pan
Start adding the toppings, Sausage, Onion, Jalapeno , Mushrooms ...

Into the oven for 20 minutes

Side note : This recipe qualifies for Gluten Free

Sprinkle the cheeses over the top , return to the oven for 20 minutes

Its didnt have quite enough colour for me , so I cranked it up to 400F and popped it back in for a few more minutes ...

And this was what I was rewarded with ... Creamy Garlicky Goodness , topped with all my favourite flavours :) Yummy !!

No need for plates , just grab a tray ( as the pan is HOT! ) and a fork , and enjoy !

This recipe is part of my Creative Leftover series , any feedback would be greatly appreciated .

Peace , Love and Good Food !

Tartan Tavern - Rich's Restaurant Review

2013-11-27T20:37:00.000-05:00

I've been going to the Tartan , for a very long time ... years before I was able to order myself a pint , My parents used to take me there for a pub dinner ( On the rare occasion that we ate away from home )
So I figured they should be one of the first reviews I did , and in fact this was the first one ... I just typed up the other two ahead of this one .

The Tartan , is the Tartan ... It is an original , not quite an English or Scottish pub , and not quite Canadian either, its in its own little world .

Several years ago, I gave up on eating here .. the food was geared to the college kids that fill the place every Friday and Saturday night , the food wasn't horrible , but it certainly wasn't something to brag or blog about ! Then they had a menu rewrite , a good burger , a proper English curry , Liver n Bacon .. The had my attention , and I was willing to try again. This was probably 2 years ago , and for a while I was a regular again , then life and some new restaurants in town I slowly stopped popping in.

Until I decided I wanted to try my hand at reviews ... So off I went with memories of tasty homeburgers and curries .

Guinness ! Love it
They have a good mix of Canadian and British Beers on tap

I was not 100 % sure what I was going to order , and decided to ask the waitress what was the most popular these days ,,, It was still the burger . Easy choice , I opted for the mushroom cheese burger with fries , and a shared bowl of onion rings .

I should mention , when they rewrote the menu , I LOVED their burgers ! Was nice to be able to go out and get a real burger, something that just was not available . ( It is now, future post will show you that ) So my expectations were rather high ... I was happy to see they still had a homemade patty , fresh lettuce , onion and tomato :) Even the fries looked crispy , but sadly thats were my excitement ended . Canned mushrooms , what I thought were frozen fries .... I actually had to ask , turns out they were fresh cut , but tasted JUST like frozen to me . What should have been the star of the show , had lots of good beefy taste , I will give them that ... but the texture was awful , way to soft both the burger and the bun fell apart while I was eating .

Tasty , but obviously frozen ones :( and I have an issue with those silly little plastic sauce cups
Not impressed .

Gillian had the Fish and Chips ... good portion size , but more plastic containers and so so fries .

See, it sure looks good ! I will try it again ... someday

Taste : Good All round
Texture : Blah .. burger fell apart , too soft , fries had frozen texture
Value : Not too Bad
Service : Always Good
Overall : Okay , I will return , I know they can do better

Ryan's Roti - Rich's Restaurant Review

2013-11-07T12:53:00.000-05:00

It's funny .. I'm always taking photos of the food i eat , judging it , rating it .... but when it comes to writing about it ! hahaha I have such a hard time , I guess I'm just not a writer!

So.... Ryan's Roti & Jerk was recommended to me , love trying new places and I just love spicy foods. Located at 1051 Simcoe St North , in Oshawa ( at Beatrice SE Corner )

First Impressions : Clean , tidy , with an easy to choose from photo based menu . Two basic options , roti or over rice with a salad . I choose the roti , feeling hungry .

Second Impression ... The food , smells delicious , I opted for a spicy beef roti , personally being rather hungry I was hoping for a little more ;) Especially after seeing the size of the rice and salad dish my friend ordered

The smell was amazing , once i cut into it ... love the fragrance of curry ! The potatoes were soft , and nice and chunky , the beef well marinated and cooked , simply flaked apart . Had a bit of a sweat going by the time I finished it

Value - Descent - $7 and I was content

Taste - Good - No veggies, Nicely Spiced Beef, potato was just right

Texture -Nice - Soft, with slight chew, beef flaked apart

Service - Quick and efficient , could have been friendlier
Overall - I would return, to try and compare the rice/salad dish

Would love to hear from you , Did you like the review , was it helpful ? What would you like to see ? Any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

Peace, Love and Good Food - Rich

Rami's Pita & Grill - Rich's Restaurant Reviews

2013-11-02T13:36:00.000-04:00

You've heard of DDD ? :) Well , welcome to RRR ! Hahahaha I've finally decided to try my hand at a proper review, for those that follow along on face book " https://www.facebook.com/RichsGoodFood " you know I have been posting my take out dinners and some dishes at local restaurants , but I have yet to do a proper review ... Im sure its going to be an ongoing work in progress :)

Located at 300 Taunton Rd , Oshawa - NE corner of Ritson & Taunton

:) Not the biggest pita I have been served , but it certainly was NOT small :) Id guess it weighed about a pound.

Rami's Pita & Grill - Beef Shawarma

Value - Good - $6 and I was full

Taste - Good - Fresh Veggies, Nicely Spiced Beef, Salt was just right

Texture -Nice - Crunchy, Chewy, Fresh

Service - Very friendly , and quick
Overall - Worth the $ , I would return

While not a true Shawarma , was just spicy ground beef , it worked well and tasted great , with a nice bit of heat . The veggies were fresh and crisp , service was very friendly and quick .

So .. at the last minute i decided to do away with #s and a proper rating system ... Ill just use whatever word comes to mind and eventually it will all sort itself out :) I hope you enjoyed , I have lots more planned

Peace Love and Good Food
Rich
