It’s been a while since I’ve been hard at work in the kitchen.  I moved this past summer and my new place has a much smaller kitchen and I have truthfully been just a little too busy to enjoy a meal.  But that all changed yesterday.  We celebrated our family Christmas (I know, I know… [...]

I don’t know about you but I get all turkey’d out over the holidays.  So when I passed one of the local restaurants when I was Christmas shopping and recalled the yummy dinner that my friend had the last time we dined there, I knew what I’d be making for dinner on the eve of [...]

Gnocchi Verdi: An Accidental Chef Christmas Eve Tradition

24. December 2011

0 Comments

This is the first Christmas Eve in recent memory where I will have the entire day to prepare dinner.  The past few years, Christmas Eve has fallen during the work week and I’ve had to rush through dinner prep in a few hours (which isn’t easy when you’re planning for 20!).  Luckily, I work from [...]

Tomato and Zucchini Soup

I love soup. I honestly think I could live on soup alone (and probably did my first few years of University). Here is one of my favorite soups. I usually make it in the fall when zucchinis and tomatoes are overflowing in the garden. But the tomatoes looked particularly beautiful at the grocery store today [...]

I was in the mood for something a little different tonight for dinner so I opened my fridge and stared at the contents and put my Accidental Chef hat on.  I had some leftover chicken and some rice as well as some new gluten-free wraps that I wanted to try so I decided to make [...]

Some Like It Hot Chili

I love chili!  I don’t know what it is about chili that just makes my tummy go yum!  I don’t tend to eat to much of it in the Spring and Summer but come the colder temperatures, you can find me eating chili at least three or four times a month.  This year I tried [...]

Do you ever have days when you realize you’re in a rut… or at least your dinner table is in a rut?  That’s how I felt today when I opened the fridge to grab some chicken and make dinner.  Was planning to make breaded chicken which is a favorite with the honey man (I usually [...]

Gluten-Free Chicken Soup

I love chicken soup.  A nice bowl always reminds me of home.  My mum used to make the yummiest chicken soup when I was growing up.  I really don’t know how she got it to taste so good!  Try as I do, I’ve never really been able to make anything that comes close to what [...]

Baked Ziti a la Soprano

I was a late comer to the whole Sopranos phenomenon.  In fact, I didn’t start watching until one of the local tv channels started re-running episodes last summer.  Every night at 10 PM, I had a date with Tony, Carmella and the gang and managed to watch every episode in a very short time.  Sure [...]

Happy New Year!  My kitchen has been abuzz with activity over the holiday season which didn’t leave me much time for accidental experimentation.  Now that the hustle and bustle of the season has settled into a gentle rumble, I’m ready to crank out some new recipes.  I’ll admit, there were way too many heavy meals [...]
