Veal Scallopini with Parmesan Cheese

Veal Recipes

I have always been a fan of a good veal, whether it is placed in a bun covered with onions, mushrooms and peppers or on a plate, served with rice and veggies, a veal that is cooked and seasoned right just melts in your mouth. A popular veal dish is the veal scallopini and I feel that I have created a recipe that I can say I really enjoy and I feel that others will enjoy also. When you arrive at the grocers or butcher shop, make sure to select fresh veal cutlets and purchase a quantity that you will  prepare and cook in the same day. I feel that veal is one of the meats that just doesn't taste the same if you throw it in the freezer and thaw to eat at a later date. A large skillet is a must, as you will be quick frying the seasoned veal. Paremesan cheese and bread crumbs seasoned with a mixture of herb spices add the right taste and flavour to your meal. The last choice you will make is if you want to eat the veal on a plate or a bun.

Spicy Baby Bok Choy

sauteed vegetables

Bok choy is a vegetable that has become quite popular in North America over the years. I was introduced to bok choy in the last decade by friends and have taken a liking to this Asian vegetable. Bok Choy is full of nutrients and can be eaten as an appetizer dish or as a side, I prefer to add bok choy as a side in most fish recipes. Those that have followed the blog, know that I enjoy eating my dishes with a bit of spice, this brings out the flavour in foods that I enjoy but for those that would like a little milder taste to the bok choy just add the chili powder and leave out the flakes. A large skillet should be used and will still work fine if you are increasing the servings. You can also substitute butter instead of using the olive oil but just remember to lower the heat and cook a bit longer then recommended with olive oil. You can use regular soy sauce if you do not have low sodium in your pantry.

Bruschetta on Rye

Appetizer Recipes

This Valentine's Day why not impress that special someone in your life with an appetizer to kick off that romantic home cooked meal. I know that a lot of recipes on the site are geared to singles but during this enchanting time, why not share some of your delicious food and keep a few dollars in your pocket. Bruschetta is a great starter and this home cooked bruschetta recipe will put a smile on the harshest of critics. Most bruschetta recipes call for the use of a loaf of Italian bread but I decided to use plain rye bread for a healthier option and the cut slices are perfect in size. Roma tomatoes also known as plum tomatoes should be used, slice them up discarding the seeds. The seasoning spices can be adjusted depending on what your palate enjoys but I found the spices added to this recipe to be an ideal mix. Use butter and not margarine to spread on the slices before you season them and make sure to keep an eye on the bread as is bakes in the oven, you want them golden brown not burnt.

Banana French Toast

Breakfast Recipes

As 2017 starts off, I though it was time to start the early year with a breakfast recipe and what better recipe to impress then french toast. French toast can be cooked quickly and with the right ingredients be tasty. It is always good to start the day with a good breakfast and the quickness of this recipe can be cooked even on a weekday. The key is to make sure that you use the right type of bread, go for a thick toast bread, I used whole wheat instead of white. Once you mix together ingredients in a bowl you will want to use a square sandwich container for dipping. Pour the mixture into it and then lightly dip the bread on both sides, do not soak the bread or it will break. Cooking will not take much time, so make sure you are watching so that the bread does not burn and ruin your breakfast meal.
You can top the french toast with your favourite fruit, if you do not want to go bananas, then blueberries or strawberries will work also and do not forget the maple syrup.

Baked Potato with Salsa

potato recipes


The holidays are fast approaching once again and for many of us we have parties, pot lucks and family gatherings. The best part of all of these is the food, the variety of the food selection is enough to put on a few pounds just looking at all the options. The one thing I have always noticed is the lack of a good side and what better side to add to the selection then a baked potato. I have never been a big fan of sour cream but salsa well that is a different story so I decided to create a side of the popular baked potato dish and salsa. Your potato will end up the talk of the party. The potatoes of choice for baking should always be russet, it is the option that I feel is the best for baking this type of dish. The salsa should be thick and chunky and I chose to pick the medium flavour but you can go hot or mild. A baking dish works best for cooking and you will not need many ingredients, unless your thing is to have the toppings falling off the potato.

Turkey Wrap on Whole Grain

Turkey Recipes

The world famous wraps, which over the years have become quite popular with those looking to add a healthy and nutritious meal to their daily reservoir. This was my first go at making a wrap and I though I would start with turkey, a healthy pick in my opinion loaded with vegetables and legumes all in a whole grain large wrap.The trickiest part of this meal was getting the wraps to remain closed, thankfully there are videos that help you achieve an expert role. I used red kidney beans in this recipe but they can be substituted for black or pinto beans. The turkey and veggies for some may be more then sufficient for your wrap but I made sure to add lettuce, hot sauce and shredded cheese. Those that are not to big on turkey can replace it with just about any ground meat and feel free to add even more veggies or even some diced avocado. A large skillet for cooking is what should be used and don't over pack the tortilla wrap because it will be hard to roll or worse yet rip.
