Dijon & Gochujang Chicken sandwich

February 12, 2020 by Ariel Leave a Comment

This deserves to be in the #NoRecipe section even if there’s still a minor mix of flavours that needed to be written.  Too often I skip breakfast and end up making a fully loaded brunch sandwich so this was today’s.

Saturday’s brunch is a real thing and this fuss free recipe is going to be perfect to serve at any time today.  Breakfast, lunch or dinner… isn’t it always the perfect time for beautifully grilled veggies, poached eggs and melted goat cheese?

Yup, I thought so too.

So don’t spend your entire day in the kitchen today (unless you’re an obsessed foodie like me) and eat delicious food that will keep you happy and healthy for your big relaxing day.

Spinach & Tomato Galette with Hard Boiled Eggs

January 18, 2016 by Ariel 1 Comment

SpinachTomatoGalette05

It was my first time making a galette of any kinds and like the girls from Food52 said in their video for the NY Times, making a galette is super easy and it’s one of those meal where you don’t really need a recipe and, once you understand the principles, and/or you already have your dough recipe ready, it’s only a question of filling.

A few days ago, without any recipe but with a head full of ideas, I gave it a shot.  The dough came out hard and cracky like I wanted and although it was a “win”, I promised myself to make a different crust for each future galettes because… well… they are worth it!

I sincerely hope you get around to try this one.  We ate it as a breakfast with a hard boiled egg but by all mean be creative and eat it for lunch and dinner as well.

Grilled Cheezy Polenta with Spicy Pomegranate Salad

May 20, 2013 by Ariel 2 Comments

Cheesy_Polenta_with_Pomegranate_Sauce01

I’m planning a bunch of photo shoots in the upcoming months and I have to start watching what I eat…. Sound awful right? lol  No worries it’s not THAT bad because my head is full of delicious ideas to keep me happy even when I have to watch what I eat…

This is a fun and easy recipe, for example, that I like to prepare as a lunch during those “model bootcamp” time but you could easily serve it as a fun appetizer.  The total recipe will give you 4-5 maybe even more portions of polenta and salad dressing so it’s something you can keep in your fridge for about a week and grill your polenta at the last minute when you’re ready to eat it.  I hope you’ll like it as much as I do and let me know how it turned out!
