I can’t believe how much time has gone by since I’ve had the time, energy or serious want to work on Culinary Zest. Well the desire was there, for sure, I just couldn’t seem to motivate myself to do something about it. I think I hit the proverbial wall with the old food blog. A…
Oven Roasted Kalettes
So, I was like cruising my local grocers the other day when I came across these little beauties. My first reaction…wasssssthissssss! My second…OhMahGosh, baby kale like brussesl sprouts…like yum and stuffs! My brain nearly imploded, who knew people grew baby kale to look like brussels spouts. I mean…Genius! I decided that these beauties were going…
Rice Cubes
First of all, I’m not doing that great on finding time to post here. Ugh. Secondly, I took the pics for this post just before the light died for the day. I apologize for the quality, but when you get the urge to play with your food and decide you *must* capture the moment, you…
BBQ Pulled Pork
Wowsers! It’s 2015. Uhm. Eeeeeeeek! Where did the year go? And I’m still struggling to find the time to work on my food blog. Go figure. HA! I thought it would be fitting to make the first official post of 2015 on Culinary Zest something that I have made a few times since the Holidays….
Jalapeno Cheese Soup
OK. So this has been a seriously crazy time. Working retail at Xmas time is a total and I do mean *total* time and energy sucking time of year. Add to the mix, a serious tooth problem, and you end up with like no time, energy or ability to do anything you really want to…
Kung Pao Chicken
When you have a food epiphany…you just have to share. I’ve always known chicken thighs were rumored to be tender and yummy…but I’ve been a breast girl all my life. Chicken breast, Turkey breast, you name it, breast meat has always been my BFF in the fowl foodie world. I just want to go on…
Rhubarb Berry Crisp
Yup, I have a thang for a good crisp. I have an extra soft spot for berry crisps. This isn’t the first time I’ve blogged about crisps, Three Berry Mixed Fruit Crumble, and it won’t be the last either! Crisp/Crumble..uhm let’s just say YUM and be done 🙂 Last week was Thanksgiving in Canuck land…
Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate
As shocking as this may seem, I am brand new to this whole Pumpkin Spice drink thing. Yup, for real. I had my first Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte while on vacation this past August. Now, drinking anything coffee related is a relatively new thing for me, I only really started experimenting with it about a…
Cucumber Water
I first had cucumber water at a wonderful Thai restaurant called Chada Thai Fine Cuisine in Coquitlam, BC. You can check them out at www.chadathai.ca. They are open every day and are found at 107-2991 Lougheed Hwy, Coquitlam, BC. Once seated the first thing that was brought to our table with our menus was what…
Corn Shrimp Soup
I love fresh in season corn. I love fresh in season local corn even more. The first of the in season local corn showed up in my local grocery store just before I left for my vacation to Vancouver, BC. This post was meant to go up while I was away, I took the photos…
