Roast Turkey with Garlic and Sage | EmmaEats

Roast Turkey Thighs with Garlic and Sage

April 22, 2016 by EmmaEats

Turkey and I, we are not friends. I want to be friends with turkey. It’s one of G’s favourites, so you can just imagine my dilemma. Unfortunately I have had some magnificent turkey disasters in the kitchen, not the least being for Thanksgiving dinner. Luckily for him, this recipe has changed that all. Back when Emma was two, we splurged on an Italian holiday. Loving all things Italy, I felt pretty well prepared for this adventure. Growing up, some friends had old-world Italian families and to my […]

Pasta with Tuna, Garlic and Capers [Dairy-Free]

September 19, 2013 by EmmaEats

It’s mid-September and our new routine is still not quite settled. It’s taking some effort to find our new normal. Between back to school, restarting extracurricular activities and G transitioning into a new job, we’ve had a lot of change here. How are you faring? Dinnertime rolls around quickly when you’re dashing from school to work to swimming to soccer. It’s helpful in those moments to have a list of quick throw-together-dinner-in-a-flash meals. Especially when the list has a meal […]

So many good things from our local retailers - and our family is so happy to be able to support them. We are so excited that the single slice of bread is all that is left of our purchase of a beautiful miche and frozen pain au chocolate from @epibreads. The simply perfect Époisses are from our friends at @alexonbayview (the fabulous pate went with the rest of the fresh bread!) . Thank you for being there for us! . . #supportlocal #bayviewleasidebia #leasidecommunity #leasidetoronto #wereinthistogether

It’s #day20 of my #20in20. But rather than a celebration, it feels more like a time for comfort and soothing. * This Turkey and Kale Lasagna is really a throw together of all sorts of bits we had in the fridge. While we’ve always been pretty conscientious of food waste, now the extra nubs of cheese, tired kale and leftover roast turkey have all become a little more glamorous and certainly a warm, beautiful meal of #comfortfood. * * Happy Friday, family and friends. Wishing you a warm weekend filled with love! What are you having as your comfort food these days? * * #ontheblog #marchmadness #dinner #instadinner #lunch #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #lasagna #turkey #kale #foodoftheday #eggs #cheese #onthetable #homemade #eatwhatyoulove #damnthatsdelish #pursuepretty #bakersgonnabake #fridayvibes #bakefromscratch #fbcigers #igerstoronto #emmaeats @canadianfoodies

Let’s have (virtual) coffee and chat! * * I know this too, shall pass, and when it does, these Chocolate Cherry Biscotti will go perfectly for sharing. * * #tbt #20in20 #marchmadness #sugarrush #dessert #cookies #biscotti #chocolate #cherry #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #foodoftheday #onthetable #makeahead #homemade #eatwhatyoulove #damnthatsdelish #pursuepretty #bakersgonnabake #bakefromscratch #fbcigers #igerstoronto #emmaeats @canadianfoodies

We spent a lot of time outside enjoying the sun today - it felt therapeutic. * Easy dinner tonight since we got started a little late. Spaghetti Frittata filled with Cheese and Kale. See, it’s not all sweet bakes around here! * First tried spaghetti frittata 20 years ago and couldn’t believe how great it was - crispy base of pasta and the creamy mix of seasoned eggs and cheese. Mmmmmm! * What was for dinner tonight for you? * * #ontheblog #20in20 #marchmadness #dinner #instadinner #lunch #frittata #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #foodoftheday #eggs #cheese #onthetable #homemade #eatwhatyoulove #damnthatsdelish #vegetarian #pursuepretty #bakersgonnabake #bakefromscratch #fbcigers #igerstoronto #emmaeats @canadianfoodies

I made the girls do some math today - they picked recipes and then had to figure out the quantities if we made multiple batches. Meant that as we scanned old school cookbooks, they stumbled across these little gems. * Soft Oatmeal Apricot Cookies * As per our usual pattern, we baked enough to fill a cookie jar and wrapped and chilled the remaining dough for later. Not a fan of dried apricots, substitute raisins. Enjoy chopped nuts in your oatmeal cookies, throw in a handful. Prefer no nuts and no dried fruit but love chocolate chips, go on. * What’s your favourite type of oatmeal cookie? * * #ontheblog #20in20 #marchmadness #sugarrush #dessert #cookies #chillvibes #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #foodoftheday #oatmeal #apricot #onthetable #homemade #eatwhatyoulove #damnthatsdelish #pursuepretty #bakersgonnabake #bakefromscratch #fbcigers #igerstoronto #emmaeats @canadianfoodies

It’s last few days of my #20in20 and like many people, we are making an effort to use as much of what we have on hand as possible before we head to the grocery store. We had a few egg whites kicking around, which made for an easy excuse to make these sweet macaroons as a treat. * Egg whites, shredded coconut and sugar come together into these bite-sized treasures. Dip them or drizzle them with chocolate to make them that much extra. * They freeze really well too which means you can enjoy some now and save some for later too! * * #ontheblog #20in20 #marchmadness #sugarrush #dessert #glutenfree #dairyfree #cookies #chillvibes #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #foodoftheday #cookies #macaroons #onthetable #homemade #eatwhatyoulove #damnthatsdelish #pursuepretty #bakersgonnabake #bakefromscratch #fbcigers #igerstoronto #emmaeats @canadianfoodies

Comfort. * * Easy Shepherd’s Pie - set some washed and cubed potatoes in salted water to boil. While the potatoes cook, in an oven-proof pan, sauté ground meat (beef, lamb, pork, turkey, meat substitute), chopped onions, garlic, celery, carrots (or what you have) with salt, pepper, whatever seasonings match your meat. After the meat is browned, add a splash or two of wine or beer and more seasoning to taste. Mix in a good sprinkling frozen peas, or spinach, or kale, or corn or whatever combination you like. * Drain the potatoes and mash them with plenty of butter and milk. Spread over top of your meat mixture. Top with shredded hard cheese of your choice. Bake for 20 min to melt the cheese and lightly crisp the potato edges. * * #20in20 #comfortfood #fridayvibes #friyay #day15 #marchmadness #brunch #lunch #weekendvibes #instadinner #dinner #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #foodoftheday #onthetable #homemade #potatoes #shepherdspie #cottagepie #eatwhatyoulove #damnthatsdelish #bakersgonnabake #bakefromscratch #fbcigers #igerstoronto #emmaeats @canadianfoodies
