Sherried Mushrooms with Fried Eggs on Toast
These days we eat eggs pretty much every day for breakfast. Back when I had a job, my breakfast usually consisted of some Kashi hot cereal eaten at my desk because I never had time to eat at home before heading to the office, late as usual. So now that I have unhurried mornings where [...]
Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp
In an attempt to try and eat better (aka lose weight), I have limited myself to baking only when we have someone coming over for dinner. Thankfully Carlo invited a friend to dinner last weekend, so I was able to take advantage of the fresh rhubarb that I had seen at the grocery store to [...]
Egg Salad with Homemade Mayo
Carlo and I both love to eat eggs, so it is no surprise that we enjoy a good egg salad every now and again. If you want to kick up your egg salad a notch, be sure to use homemade mayo which really showcases the taste and texture of the hardboiled eggs. This egg salad [...]
Homemade Mayo
I didn’t grow up eating mayo. Instead, I grew up eating salad cream, which is pretty much a tangier version of mayo and once upon a time used to be about the only salad dressing that you could get in the UK. While I still enjoy salad cream occasionally as a guilty pleasure, I think [...]
The Best Gazpacho Ever
It seems to me as though gazpacho is one of those love it or hate it kinds of food. Lots of people either don’t like the taste of raw tomatoes or aren’t into cold soups. I actually like gazpacho, but can sometimes get weirded out by the texture, especially if it is extra mealy. That [...]
Orrechiette Carbonara
Often times when you order Carbonara at a restaurant, you get a stodgy white sauce that is as thick as it is unappetizing. Real Carbonara sauce is light and silky on your taste buds, and doesn’t leave a lead weight feeling in your stomach. This Orrechiette Carbonara recipe fits the bill for a light pasta [...]
Huevos Divorciados
There is nothing better than waking up on the weekend and making yourself a delicious breakfast to start the day. We used to go out all the time for breakfast, but to cut back, we have been cooking our own breakfasts at home more often. I’ve been surprised to find that I like breakfast at [...]
Mixed Berry Pie with Ginger, Orange, and Almond Streusel
Last week, my dad and I took my niece Isla to Gnismer Farms by my parents’ house so she could pick some of her favourite food, sweet corn, for a bbq. Unfortunately when we got to the farm, they were all sold out of corn, so we decided to pick some blackberries instead. It was [...]

I finally downloaded TweetDeck so I can update both @recessionrecipe and my personal account at the same time. If you are on Twitter, please be sure to follow us @recessionrecipe to learn about our latest cooking and eating adventures. We have a laptop in the kitchen, and after a couple glasses of wine, I become [...]
Crispy Chicken Fingers with Sweet Potato Fries
I’m finally back from a 2.5 week vacation to Texas where I got to spend lots of quality time with my family, including my sister and two little nieces who are visiting from Scotland. I had a great time with everyone, and also got to eat lots of food that you just don’t get in [...]
