Ok guys, grilling season is upon us, and I think you’re going to love this oh-so-simple side dish to add to your list of favourites: grilled eggplant. Now, before I get too deep into this post, I have to add this disclaimer: As pictured here, my eggplant is actually being prepared on a hot, dry […]
I love chai tea, and I always have. Bold, sweet, and spicy, this milky chai tea recipe is my version of the traditional Indian tea drink that has swept the world over with joy. That might sound like a bold statement, perhaps, but I think I can pretty much safely say it at this point. […]

Rice cooked with milk is something I grew up on and have come to love more in my adult years than I ever did as a kid. You can eat it as a breakfast food, or as a dessert, topped with sugar or a fruit sauce. This recipe is a little thinner than I remember […]
