Moules et Frites: Dinner for One

Moules et Frites: Dinner for One

Hello lovers (single or otherwise)!
Happy V-day weekend / lonely hearts club.

I lived in a bachelorette apartment for 2 years as I was gearing up into my cooking career. I always felt compassion for those living on their own who wanted to cook healthily, but were frustrated by the idea of cooking for one - all the dishes, leftovers, the food waste, what's the point!? etc.

Turkey Meatballs with Mango Avocado Salsa

February. Truly a blah month. I mean there is the Superbowl, The Grammy's, the coveted "Oscar Race". Really though, Ottawa is frozen over and I can't bike. Without Whole30 to distract me, I've been thrust into the cold wondering what to do with myself. So I'm sharing this meatball recipe with you!

Well.. living with a food intolerance sucks. Lemmy tell you, I wish I could eat gluten/gliadin containing grains because that stuff is pretty delicious! I found out I was gluten-intolerant 2 years ago after suffering a myriad of physical and emotional pain I had no idea could be attributed to what I ate!

So I just came inside from a -30 Celcius Windchill day here in Ottawa, ON. Needless to say - my Mediterranean blood is crying for sun and heat. I mean, I'm not saying I need +30 or anything but... As a chef, it's hard to go 6 months without any fresh local produce.

Tis the season of good eats with family and friends or solo even. Sometimes we get classy.. and sometimes... You eat a friend's birthday cake made of chicken wings. Well, luckily for you I went back to classy for this year's Christmas recipe I have for you!
