This week’s chicken salad is creamy, and has a good hot kick and lots of crunch. And so much colour, before the remoulaide. I love Cajun food. Actually all southern food, but ya know. Anyway, on with the show! Blackened Cajun Chicken Salad 2sp per serving, serves 3-4 Ingredients 1 chicken breast 1tbsp Cajun seasoning…
Curry Rice & Braised Pork Bento
This one has less of a Japanese flair to it, as far as bentos go, but it is delicious. I modified a version of Nepalese momo for the dumplings, and another for coconut curry and braised beef to make the pork. The result is some melt-in-your-mouth delicious food. It takes several hours for the pork…
West Coast Citrus Chicken Salad
I’m in love with cumin. It’s hands down one of my favourite spices. So when it got worked into this recipe, I was stoked. Let me tell you that this chicken salad is PACKED with flavour. It’s full of sweet honey, tart tangerines, and deep, dark cumin. It’s bright, but a little earthy. It’s summery…

The Dresden Files: Rosemary Turkey Burgers
“I made a sandwich out of things. I’m an American. We can eat anything as long as it’s between two pieces of bread.” – Small Favor I am strictly of the opinion that there is nothing like a good burger. And I do not discriminate (except for shrimp burgers, those just sound effing weird). That…

The lunch philosophy at Japanese 7-Eleven? Actual food.” – Pretty Good Number One So I’ve started making weekly bento boxes…
Chipotle Chicken Salad with Roasted Poblanos
So here is my southwestern style chicken salad. I should have taken pictures of it before I mixed it honestly. There was something lovely about all of those colours. And everything just looks so good when it’s been blistered and roasted. Blistered tomatoes. Roasted poblanos. Seared corn kernels. Good stuff! Chipotle Chicken Salad with Roasted…
Home Alone: Spicy Poblano Mac & Cheese
“Bless this highly nutritious microwavable macaroni and cheese dinner and the people who sold it on sale. Amen.” – Kevin McAllister, Home Alone So this is definitely not microwaveable, and I certainly didn’t buy it on sale. But it is as close to nutritious as Mac & Cheese can get, and the best comfort food-…

“‘Sorry, no guns or cars or TV, folks,’ he said, making his voice cheerful. ‘Not this ninth year of the Change, at least. But a pancake breakfast we can still manage. Let’s go!’” – Mike Havel, The Protector’s War Blueberry Banana Pancakes 0sp (2sp with 1/4tbsp butter and 1tsp maple syrup) My bananas are finally…
