Cooking Solo: May 2013
http://cookingsolomontreal.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 14 May 2013. The healthy fruity vegetarian sandwich. And we stuffed ourselves with huge smoked ribs, more pulled pork and the most delicious fried chicken I have ever had in my life so far. After that, my digestive system decided to go into emergency digestion mode and I have been digesting all this meat for two days. Needless to say, when it was time to grab lunch on Monday, I opted for a light vegetarian meal. A colleague of mine suggested that I try this place called Frais Café. I can do that!

Cooking Solo: April 2013
http://cookingsolomontreal.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 10 April 2013. This week I felt like having some Asian food. I was kind of craving chicken fried rice. So I made some! Indeed, having some cooking skills has its perks. You feel like having Chinese take-out? You want some sandwich from a fast food chain? You miss your mom's home cooking? Just make your own! Even tastier than take-out! 1 lb of chicken breasts. 1 can 19 oz (540ml) of diced carrots and green peas. 1/2 a pack of sliced mushrooms. 1 small onion (I used half a large spanish onion).

Saturday, 22 June 2013. Oishī Nihon no karē" or The Tasty Japanese Curry. 1 box of Japanese curry cubes. 1 large regular onion (or half a sweet onion in my case). 2 big white potatoes. 2-3 large carrots (or half a small bag of baby carrots). White rice (just regular rice, not necessarily the converted one - I just had that one on hand). Couple of tablespoons of grapeseed or vegetable oil (one that doesn't have a strong flavour). Finally, cut up your chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes. When the chicken is ...

Cooking Solo: August 2013
http://cookingsolomontreal.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 7 August 2013. Last week. Yes! LAST week. (Boy, I am running behind here.) I decided to make myself falafel pitas for lunch. I had a box of falafel mix that's been hanging around in my pantry since. Actually since I was in a relationship with my Middle-Eastern ex-girlfriend over three years ago! Fry 'em up and eat 'em up. Here's how I did my pita sandwich. 1 box falafel mix. 1 red onion, sliced. Iceberg lettuce, chopped. Tahini (fancy Arabic word for sesame butter). The pickled turnips are alr...

Cooking Solo: Chicken Tonite
http://cookingsolomontreal.blogspot.com/2013/10/chicken-tonite.html
Saturday, 19 October 2013. 1 box of Stove Top stuffing. 1 can of Campbell's cream of mushroom concentrate. 2 cups Instant rice. Before you start, set your oven at 400F. Then, first prepare the stuffing as per the directions on the box. That's fairly easy. It's just a matter of bringing a small amount of water to a boil (I think 1/4 of a cup or something like that) and then just mixing in the stuffing, remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Then set that aside. Serve one breast with a scoop of stuffing w...

Cooking Solo: July 2013
http://cookingsolomontreal.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 1 July 2013. I found a new job! I'm starting this week! I'm basically going to be the head software dude at a company in Griffintown, close to my university. I'm pretty excited! The problem is though, the office is surrounded with pretty expensive bistros and cafés and I have been without a revenue for a month, so money's a bit tight. It's going to be best if I prepare myself some food for my lunches this week and it'll give me a chance to show off my cooking skills to my new boss! When the time ...

Cooking Solo: January 2013
http://cookingsolomontreal.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, 31 January 2013. Which means George the king of the sub in case you didn't notice). The thought of those deliciously oily savoury meaty sandwiches had me convinced, I was eating Italian subs for my lunches this week. Also, they're simple and super easy to make when you don't really feel like cooking much. So here's what you need. Chinese fondue style thin beef slices. 1 green bell pepper. 1/2 large sweet or spanish onion. Chopped lettuce (preferably iceberg, but I had romaine. Whatever! Next co...

Cooking Solo: Marmite Burgers
http://cookingsolomontreal.blogspot.com/2013/06/marmite-burgers.html
Friday, 7 June 2013. I've been eating my vegetarian couscous salad all week last week. I wasn't eating much to be honest. But this week, my body told me it needed something. I was craving some junk food. Badly. So I went to this place called La Friterie. While I was in my home neighbourhood of Pointe-Aux-Trembles. It's a greasy spoon that sells burgers, hot dogs, fries and of course, poutine. They have been open for as long as I can remember. I went all out and got myself this. Or, you can use Vegemite.
