Eat More, Spend Less: Lentil Eggplant Chile Mole

http://frugaleatingintoronto.blogspot.com/2012/11/lentil-eggplant-chile-mole.html

Monday, November 5, 2012. Lentil Eggplant Chile Mole. Mondays are hard for me. I'm a natural night owl, so I stay up very late on weekends. It's not unusual for me to up be up until 3, 4 or even 5 am I sleep until noon, and then get up and on with the day. But I can't do this on weekdays, as I have to be at school for 9 am And I have a long commute, a very long commute. So when Monday rolls around I have to switch from being a night owl to. what's the opposite of a night owl. a day owl? Tonight it was Le...

Wednesday, November 14, 2012. Marinated Mushrooms with Red Wine and Fennel (a holiday appetizer). I love Thanksgiving. Yum, yum, yum. When I lived in the United States I celebrated Thanksgiving twice. Because I am Canadian I did our Canadian Thanksgiving in October. And then I did another Thanksgiving at the end of November. I love having friends over for dinner, sharing food and friendship. Here's one of my favourite special occasion appetizer recipes:. MARINATED MUSHROOMS WITH RED WINE AND FENNEL.

http://frugaleatingintoronto.blogspot.com/2012/12/no-knead-bread.html

Friday, December 28, 2012. This recipe has been making the rounds for ages. I've seen it on several blogs and in the New York Times. Love freshly baked bread as much as I do? As lazy. um. wait, as busy as me? Lasts two weeks in the fridge! Tear off only and bake only as much as you need! Recipe courtesy of vanilla bean. Blog (with gorgeous photos and other tips). 3 cups water, lukewarm. 1 1/2 tablespoons yeast. 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt. 6 1/2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour. Image by Sharon Pruitt.

Eat More, Spend Less: Mongolian Beef & Eggplant

http://frugaleatingintoronto.blogspot.com/2012/12/mongolian-beef-eggplant.html

Saturday, December 22, 2012. Mongolian Beef and Eggplant. If you are like me, you might be spending some time alone over the holidays. And who would cook a turkey for one? For me, holiday treats include tasty morcels of meat, something I don't usually eat. And this dish hits all the right savoury, rich, wintery notes for me. The original is a beef only dish, but I add veggies to everything, I'm just wired that way! So if you don't like eggplant, don't worry, just leave it out. Mongolian Beef and Eggplant.
