Bone-in Chicken Noodle Soup | EmmaEats

Bone-In Chicken Noodle Soup and a Giveaway

January 29, 2015 by EmmaEats

Anyone can cook.   The temperatures have been a little colder, G’s hours have been a little longer and extra-curricular activities have been keeping the girls busier than usual. All of these factors together have made us committed to our Friday family movie night more than ever. A short while ago, we watched Ratatouille. Around the same time, Thomas Allen & Sons (@ThomasAllenLTD) provided me a copy of Mark Bittman’s book How to Cook Everything Fast. As I casually flipped through it, a […]

Whole Wheat Gingerbread Pancakes

November 10, 2014 by EmmaEats

Christmas is one of my favourite holidays…   And pancakes are the ultimate breakfast for Emma and Katie. Offer them as an option and they will never be rejected. Now that we’re approaching the holidays, all the girls in our house are pleased — these festive pancakes are flavoured with traditional gingerbread spices and fill the house with a delightfully warm aroma. Truly a wonderful way to start the morning. And my little girls would agree! For this recipe, we use an easy-to-make […]

Spooky Mini Turkey Meatball Sliders | EmmaEats

Spooky Mini Turkey Meatball Sliders

October 1, 2014 by EmmaEats

It’s sorta scary. It’s Halloween-y! Incredibly, the month of September has flown by — just as the rest of the summer. Hopefully though, you’ve had a wonderful start to the school year. After a spectacular hiatus with Katie and Emma over their summer vacation, it’s time for me to get back to a routine as well. What better way to get back into the kitchen than to prepare Halloween treats. These meatball sliders are super simple and so much fun. Buy some or all of the components or make them yourself. […]

Braised Lamb Shanks with Red Wine and Vegetables | EmmaEats

Lamb Shanks Braised with Red Wine and Vegetables [Dairy-Free]

February 19, 2014 by EmmaEats

We are one month away from Spring. When the weather is like this, I’m reticent to bundle up the kids and head out in the evenings. Maybe it’s the 4-times-a-day bundle up/dress down that we go through every weekday. Perhaps it’s my own disdain for having to shovel snow every time we step outside this winter. Thank goodness there are foods like this to help us through the snowy, icy coldness that has taken hold. Thank goodness we have something […]

Spanish Chicken and Quinoa | EmmaEats

Spanish Chicken and Quinoa [Dairy-Free]

November 7, 2013 by EmmaEats

Are you ready for some comfort food? Fall has arrived and it’s been wet and cold. It is November after all, so I guess it’s no surprise but it has meant a change from hovering out at the barbecue which is what I was doing two weeks ago! This hearty and flavourful dish epitomizes comfort food. It’s quick to put together and infuses the kitchen with a warm spicy aroma as it simmers away. It includes some of the most […]

Spooky Halloween Cupcakes [Vegan] | EmmaEats

Spooky Halloween Cupcakes, 3 ways [Vegan]

September 26, 2013 by EmmaEats

Trick or treat! Halloween is a lively time at our house — one year, it warranted three costume changes on the big day. Even before we had a family, it was always a highly anticipated holiday. Hopefully, this year won’t be a triple-costume Halloween (there’s a habit I’d prefer to not encourage) but it doesn’t mean we won’t have some fun! These rich, dark, chocolatey vegan cupcakes and their “costumes” are quick and easy to make. This leads to a […]

Soft Breakfast Cookies, 2 ways [Vegan]

September 5, 2013 by EmmaEats

We haven’t the best track record for getting to school on time. For three years running. Summer was truly a wonderful time for our household. The girls and I leisurely wandered from outing to outing, meeting friends and casually making our way through our days. So easy. So relaxed. Here we are now, along with many of you, a week into back to school and adapting to a new routine. We’re doing well so far. What’s made the difference? First, […]

Quick Udon Soup | EmmaEats

Quick Udon Soup

March 28, 2013 by EmmaEats

Sometimes you just need to get a meal on the table. Stat. And if it’s fast, flexible and healthy, all the better. This is that meal. Days can go by so quickly with such a wide array of activities on everyone’s schedules. Add in the countless items needing attention around the house and no wonder it feels easy to turn to fast food or other unhealthy options when mealtime comes around. This quick udon soup offers a healthful alternative to those […]

Roasted Turkey and Mushroom Soup

Roasted Turkey and Mushroom Soup

February 21, 2013 by EmmaEats

Do you get a chance to get away during the winter? We’ve been making an effort to do so and this year was no exception. Only with the extremes we’ve seen lately, it’s hard to believe that it’s been just over a week since we were in the sunshine. I’m mildly envious of those people that embrace winter – the skiiers, skaters, snowboarders. You know the ones. They’re energized by the cold temperatures and freshly fallen snow. They don’t mind […]

Warm Moroccan Quinoa Salad

Warm Moroccan Quinoa Salad

February 14, 2013 by EmmaEats

Another quinoa recipe? Oh, this must be good. And it is. Cozy and complex, not only is it delicious for the grownups, it’s a fantastic way to introduce Moroccan flavours to the kids. We stumbled upon this combination by accident — I was making the Mexican-style Quinoa and made way too much quinoa. The girls have been enjoying lots of dried fruits lately with our homemade granola and we happened to have Moroccan seasoning on hand from making this Chicken Tagine. Quinoa […]

Mexican-Style Quinoa with Pulled Pork

Mexican-Style Quinoa with Pulled Pork

February 7, 2013 by EmmaEats

Where did January go? And why does it seem that it felt like the end of winter and the beginning of spring? Because, you know, it’s not. We still have more than a month before spring is here. Since winter is still here (and we started to feel it again last weekend — so long balmy, rainy days, welcome back snow, wind and ice), we may as well make the best of it. Enjoy the Sunday afternoon skating, the marshmallows […]

Trout Wellington

Trout Wellington

January 31, 2013 by EmmaEats

Chocolates, sweet tarts, and cinnamon hearts. Although two members of our household wouldn’t argue about sweets on Valentine’s Day, there is someone who would prefer something less sugary. Fear not, we will have sweet treats too but alas, chocolates, sweet tarts, and cinnamon hearts do not a dinner make, even if it is for Valentine’s Day. These personal-sized Trout Wellingtons look impressive, are simple to make, and once in the oven, are effortless. If you’re having your Valentine’s Day dinner at […]

Carrot Sweet Potato Soup

Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup, 2 ways

January 24, 2013 by EmmaEats

We’re in the thick of it now. Winter. Absolutely-frigid-toes-frozen-huddled-under-a-blanket winter. In my last post on fudge, foregoing all extravagances cold turkey as part of a New Year’s resolution was excessive. Moderation is the key and this sweet potato and carrot soup tastes indulgent, but really isn’t. G and I have been eating versions of this for years. My old favourite is made with butternut squash. After enjoying this version a few times, it’s climbed into top spot. It’s straight-forward and simple […]

Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cherry Bites

Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cherry Bites

December 6, 2012 by EmmaEats

It can’t be so. Cookies with no nuts, no butter and no eggs and entirely irresistible. Well, it is indeed so. These incredibly flavourful cookies are definite crowd-pleasers and even diehard non-vegans won’t even notice that these tasty morsels are in fact without the butter, egg and nut triumvirate. Emma picked these for her school snack day awhile back and the platter came back clean. Empty. As were the bowls of them at her birthday party. As was the tray […]

Ginger and Spice Cake | EmmaEats

Ginger and Spice Cake

November 29, 2012 by EmmaEats

Not all cakes have to be frilly, frosted and fantastical in nature to knock your socks off. We’re heading into the holiday season and this cake is the perfect way to kick it off. It doesn’t sparkle. It’s not iced. It isn’t fancy in any sense of the word. But what it lacks in wow factor at first sight, it makes up for with the first bite. We’ve been eating it ever since the coolness of autumn started to roll […]

Chicken Sausage Shrimp Gumbo

Chicken Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo

November 22, 2012 by EmmaEats

Gumbo. Creole. Etouffee. Jambalaya. Mmmmmm. Emma has a bit of a love affair with New Orleans. After reading some Princess and the Frog books (she hasn’t watched the movie yet — how will she react to the Shadow Man and his compatriots?!) and hearing about Princess Tiana enjoying her father’s gumbo, she became intrigued with it. Here we go again: she shows the interest and I’m all too happy to introduce her to something new. This isn’t gumbo the truest […]

Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons and Olives

Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons and Olives

November 8, 2012 by EmmaEats

I’m not ready for cold weather but I am ready for more warm food. This kind of food. Emma’s first exposure to Moroccan food was at Epcot in the Moroccan pavilion. She loved the music and the dancing. G and I loved the food. She thought of Aladdin and Princess Jasmine. We thought of warm complex spices, flavourful sweet dates and preserved lemons. With Emma’s love for “all things Moroccan”, we couldn’t let this opportunity pass to introduce some Moroccan […]

Lucky Ducky Dhal

October 26, 2012 by EmmaEats

On a typical evening, everyone has the same dinner in our household. We don’t make a habit of preparing foods explicitly for the kids versus the adults. On a few occasions though, things happen to work out that we can do this easily and everyone benefits from the effort. Recently, we had pizza for dinner and there were leftovers for the following evening. It was a particularly wet and tiring day and I was craving some (healthy) comfort food. Seemed […]
