East Coast Garlic Fingers with Donair Sauce

Ah pizza... is there anything more perfect? A slightly crispy crust, thick or thin, covered in a spicy tomato sauce and smothered with melted mozzarella... that is the stuff of dreams. The variations are endless: cauliflower crusts, cheesy layered deep dish, drooping thin crust, rounds of spicy pepperoni, tartly sweet barbecue sauce, roasted chicken, black…Read More

Strawberry Spinach Salad

Best part about nomad life? The second strawberry season is here!!! BEST. YEAR. EVER. Our first strawberry season in Louisiana was wonderful, but can I say there ain’t no strawberries like home strawberries? (‘cause the strawberry party don’t stop.) Nova Scotia strawberry season is upon us. And I seriously can’t stop eating them. I may…Read More

How To Cook Spaghetti Squash in the Crockpot

Where would I be without my Crockpot? The crossroads between Sad-ville and Hungry-town, that's where! Mr. Nomato and I are trying to eat healthier, and part of that is cutting down the carbs, and the calories. Spaghetti squash is a fantastic alternative to regular spaghetti, with only a fraction of the carbs. Now, I know…Read More

“More for Me!” Rhubarb Crisp

Happy Summer Holiday! The kids are free, the sun is out, and Canada Day (July 1st) is almost upon us! I thought that in celebration I would share with you one of the most Canadian recipes I know - Rhubarb Crisp. Everyone grows rhubarb in Nova Scotia. If you have a garden, you probably have rhubarb.…Read More

Week 14

Happy Friday! First of all, some news. Lunch of the Week is going on a break. Don't worry, it will be back mid-July! Mr. Nomato is finishing up at the hospital here in Louisiana, so we are driving back home for a quick visit before we fly to our next location: Brooklyn, New York! The brief hiatus…Read More

Whole Wheat Pretzel Rolls

Let me be very clear: whole wheat is my nemesis. Now, I have nothing against whole wheat made by other people. In fact, I prefer it because it’s so much healthier. But when it comes to my own baking, it leaves me completely stumped because it’s so dense. I just cannot, CANNOT make it work,…Read More

Nutella and Creole Cream Cheese Ice Cream Pie

When we tell people that we are living in Louisiana, we usually get one reaction and one reaction only: the head is thrown back, the eyes are lifted to the heavens, and a single sentence emerges from their lips: “Oh my god the FOOD!” This is usually followed by a list of places we HAVE to…Read More

Pineapple Sunshine Smoothie Bowl

We’re quickly coming to the end of our time here in Louisiana, and we soon head for cooler climes. With three weeks left, now’s about the time when I stare into my cupboards, assess all the food still left there, and start coming up with crazy ways to use it all up before we head…Read More

Chocolate Raspberry Smoothie Bowl

Smoothies are the best. For serious. They’re sweet and delicious, and I’ve never met one I didn’t like! Actually, that’s a lie; there was one smoothie back when we were trying Mr. Nomato on an elimination diet that tasted like ginger apple ditchwater, but I hardly count that. It was more like juice anyway. Smoothies…Read More

Easy Homemade Vegetable Broth

I was not prepared for the weather in Louisiana. Can I just say that? It’s not the heat – I was well prepared for the heat, as much as I don’t like it. It was the drastic nature of its storms. On the day I made this broth and took pictures, it was so black…Read More
