a second glance.: A Canadian's guide to jackets: the trenchcoat

http://asecondglanceblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-canadians-guide-to-jackets-trenchcoat.html

THE OCCASION: Singin' in the rain. THE JACKET: Banana Republic belted. It's a good thing Ottawa's sidewalks aren't too densely packed. I'm that a* hole cheerfully staying dry under an umbrella big enough that I could probably turn it upside down and use it to float across the Atlantic. Trench - Banana Republic.

Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Spicy southwest chicken with couscous, carrot and brussel sprout medley.

http://asecondglanceblog.blogspot.com/2015/05/quinoa-patties-with-spring-vegetables.html

Sunday, May 03, 2015. Quinoa patties with spring vegetables and feta. The end result was amazing. It's now one of Brad and my favourite recipes on the blog. The lightly crisp coating of browned panko and quinoa contrasted nicely with the tangy creaminess of the feta, while fresh vegetables added a burst of flavour. This recipe serves four. You're heading to a famers' market today, you may want to get the ingredients to try this yourself! Gently shape in palm-sized patties. Pour enough vegetable oil i...

Saturday, January 31, 2015. Phyllo-encrusted baked brie with hazelnut and cranberry.

Monday, April 20, 2015. In February, Brad and I had a soul-soothing. Getaway to Fort Myers Beach with some of my family. It was the best kind of vacation - sleeping in, going for long walks on the beach, biking around town, having family meals after watching the sun set and making the occasional foray off the island for shopping or a date night.

a second glance.: Strawberry balsamic and rosemary chicken with couscous salad

http://asecondglanceblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/strawberry-balsamic-and-rosemary.html

Thursday, April 16, 2015. Strawberry balsamic and rosemary chicken with couscous salad. Couscous has been a saviour on weeknights. Even if we get home late, it's ready in a matter of minutes and its neutral flavour can be married with all kinds of ingredients. Make-ahead marinating chicken can be popped in the oven and there's no need to dial for pizza. This dish serves four. Bake the chicken at 350 °F for about 20 minutes, turning once. But in a pinch you could add slivered almonds instead. A Canadians ...
