Smoked Salmon Sandwich

Smoked Salmon Sandwich - I Say Nomato Nightshade Free Food Blog
Okay that’s it. I’m done. I'm handing in my sandwich... making... tools... (knife? spatula? Panini press?) This is the best sandwich I have ever made, and I’m never ever ever going to top it. Ever. I know that’s not saying much, since my go-to sandwich is like… PB&J, but believe me. I know a good sandwich…Read More

Sweet Potato Poutine

Sweet Potato Poutine - I Say Nomato Nightshade Free Food Blog
Announcing that you’re making poutine gives one of two reactions: A) SWEET! That’s my favourite! Can I help? Do you need a taste tester? How much are you making, because you’re going to need more! Or B) …. Huh? Usually people who respond with Option A are either Canadian, have travelled to Canada, or are…Read More

Nightshade Free Nachos

My family has a deep and abiding love of awful jokes. One time on a 5 hour road trip, we made tree puns for the whole drive. You’d think we’d have run out of material. You’d be wrong. Seriously, if we had to choose between life and never telling another groaner again, we’d be toast. So…Read More

The life of being a food blogger spouse is not easy. People joke about 'Med School Widows', but I'm beginning to wonder if Mr. Nomato isn't a 'Food Blogger Widow' instead! He eats all the ugly food, the cast-offs, the rejects, has to deal with my crazy kitchen experiments and reheated picture foods (which he pretends…Read More

Chive and Dill Greek Yogurt Salad Dressing

Plain Greek Yogurt tastes gross. There, I said it. When something can be frequently used as a replacement for sour cream, I tend to avoid eating it out of the container with a spoon. That being said, it has a tart smoothness that naturally makes it an excellent base for many delicious snacks. Covered with blueberries,…Read More

2 Minute Mayonnaise

At last! One of the recipes I've been promising since the beginning is here! Homemade Mayonnaise! First of all, we made it home! Hooray! Farewell New York, hello Nova Scotia! I was so ready. The trip went very well, considering, (You know how much I love flying.) Although weather reports of inclement hurricanes made me a…Read More

Feta and Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms

Real Talk Time: mushrooms are weird. Whichever one of our ancestors looked at these weird white things growing on a rotten tree and decided to not only touch them, but eat them, must have been verrrry hungry. Not to mention they probably died because they ate the poisonous ones. Thank you for your sacrifice, Oog-Oog,…Read More

Week 21

Welcome to Lunch of the Week! I hope you all had a wonderful week. Here's what I sent with Mr. Nomato for lunch. Snack: Baby carrots with 2 Minute Hummus (after our Sabra fiasco, I only trust the stuff I make now!) Lunch: 2 hard-boiled eggs, and Sweet Potato Dumplings (recipe coming soon!), with a little bit…Read More

2 Minute Hummus

Who doesn't love hummus? Garlicky, fresh, delicious hummus. It's so versatile, you can eat it with vegetables, with chips, dollop it on a sandwich to give it a little kick, or even just have at 'er with a giant spoon. And this recipe is so freakin' easy, it almost feels like cheating to give it…Read More

Week 20

Happy Friday everyone, we made it! This week's lunch was a challenge, I can't believe we're already near the end of our New York stay! Only three weeks to go and we're already starting to eat all the random things in our cupboards. For some reason we ended up with SO MUCH RICE this time...…Read More
