Mango Chef closed this year in #NorthBattleford and it made an amazing pork bulgogi dish. Finally found gochujang paste to make the dish at home. Loved it. It is pretty easy to put together and so yummy. I think it was just as good as the one from the restaurant at a fraction of the cost. I mostly used this recipe, https://chefchrischo.com/korean-spicy-pork-jeyuk-bokkeum/#recipe

Made some veggie broth from vegetable scraps. It's an easy way to elevate dishes and I add the scraps to my compost pile.

Tonight I made a Korean inspired supper. Sticky rice, spicy eggplant and spicy pork stir-fry. So yummy, veggie filled and an inexpensive meal.

Four50 Grill in North Battleford has amazing burgers - and very filling, you won't need supper after these. The one across is their D'Wiesen burger is filled with saurkraut, swiss cheese, and sausage all on a toasted pretzel bun, with onion rings. The closer one is a spicy pickle burger with a side of Buffalo chicken poutine. It's very yummy, but your daily sodium intake will skyrocket haha.

I made this cake for my daughter's 15th birthday. It turned out great and was delicious. This is the recipe I used, https://www.gonnawantseconds.com/wprm_print/15878#

For supper I made colcannon for the first time, spicy Korean eggplant and BBQ pork cutlets. Whew it was great and I am stuffed.

I made cheesy cauliflower balls today and they were great. Especially enjoyed the bottom of them because as they baked the cheese got crispy on the baking sheet. Used the food processor to break down the cauliflower and cheese, a real time saver. Added bacon to theses, chefs kiss to that haha.

Made an awesome dish this afternoon of spicy Korean eggplant. It was a hit! The eggplant was nice and creamy, and the sauce had a nice heat to it. I'll definitely be making this again, and it's so cheap to make, which is also a win.

Recipe that I used is from here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfXK7vc-Z7A

I made baked falafel with red lentil flat bread for the wrap. I baked them just because it's easier then frying all these for a family but, still they are delicious. The lentil wraps are great with it as well. Honestly, 7-10 years ago if you told me that some of my favorite meals to make would be plant based.... I'd chuckle and dismiss it. I mean I still enjoy cooking meat but, yeah plants make super satisfying, cravable meals.

It's about to warm up out of soup season so I made a new one for me. It's butternut squash, cauliflower, lentil soup. It was funny because after I blended it with an immersion blender I tasted it and it tasted like it definitely was missing something, added the coconut milk and some lime juice and WOW that was it.

I used my own veggie broth for this. I didn't have red curry paste so I just used some powders I use for curries with a little extra paprika.

Here is the recipe I used for this.

This was my first attempt at making farinata. It could have used a little more bake time but it was great. It's simple but full of flavour I would definitely make it again and experiment with toppings.

Made it with my own vegetable broth as well. It turned out great, would definitely make this again. Just didn't have cilantro and missed that.
