A Christmas to Remember
As a little girl growing up in Quebec, Christmas Eve was always idyllic. Snow blanketed ground and trees, the smell of firewood drifting on the frigid winter wind and glowing lights twinkling against the white landscape, reminiscent of a Thomas Kinkade painting. However, the best part was gathering in the basement of some family friends and spending Christmas Eve together. The wine flowed for the adults, and finger food flew off the platters as songs and laughter filled the air, allowing time to pass seamlessly into Christmas Day.

Short, Sweet, and to the Point Recipes!
My favorite part of catering during my past career of being a chef was the joy you felt in the room at a special event when you saw people thoroughly enjoying their meal. The food is always something that people will mention when they talk about said event afterward. If the food was bad you could ensure that you were going to lose potential clients over it but if people left satisfied you knew that meant the potential for new clients was rising. Service and presentation can help a meal but it cant save it. You need to have all the right flavors and the dedication to what you’re cooking. I will say that my least favorite part of this career was how time-consuming planning, cooking for and executing the event was. The only thing that ever made this part better was the glorious times that I would have a client who said the words “I want to keep it simple”. This meant I was going to get to have the joy of creating something fun and it wasn’t going to eat up all of my allotted time. I particularly shone in the appetizer and small dessert department in these situations. I wanted to share some of my best (and most popular) ideas with you today. I picked 3 of my appetizers and 3 of my mini desserts to show to you. The best part of these recipes is there is no meticulous amounts to abide by or ridiculously long instructions to follow. ‘Short, sweet, and to the point’ is a motto I love to live by when in the kitchen.

Creamy Shrimp Alfredo
Hello everyone I am back and as I promised I am bringing you more quick easy recipes using Knorr Pasta Sides. Except this time today we will be using the Alfredo pasta side. Who doesn’t love Alfredo. I know I love it. Alfredo is my all time favorite of Italian dishes. I can eat and type Alfredo longest it’s made right. For all my Alfredo lovers this recipe is for you. You can use chicken, shrimp, bacon, or all three. Usually most of us love Alfredo when it’s made from scratch. Or at least the easy way: boil the noodles, add your meat of choice, and pour your jar of Alfredo sauce. The usual two ways we usually make our Alfredo right! But today I’m bringing you an easier way to make it today. Our meat of choice today is shrimp. I’m not a big shrimp fan but I love it in my Alfredo and my Chinese food. This recipe is also for shrimp lovers. I used to make this recipe when I needed something quick to make and take to work for lunch etc. I make it once a blue moon now because my fiance is allergic to shrimp. My poor baby right! You can find Knorr brand sides in your local grocery store. This recipe is for any occasion or just a regular family dinner. This is a quick and cheap meal. Trust me you will love this recipe just like I do. Feel free to experiment with other ingredients if you don’t want the ones that I listed. I even added garlic. I even used sun dried tomatoes to make it into Tuscan and it was very delicious. You can do anything with this recipe. Take it from me I’m always finding new things to make and try for my family. We get bored of things really quick. Especially if we eat the same food all the time. Time to spice it up and make different things. Especially when you have kids that say they are tired of eating the same things. I know I understand I have three. My 2 year old is the main one. Without a further ado let’s get started on making this meal.

Eat, Drink and Just Try to Stay Merry
As a caterer who lost their job to the horrors of the COVID-19 pandemic, I often find myself looking through new recipes to try my best at wowing my family since I no longer have an audience to impress. I find that now has been a great time for trying these new things or coming up with new favorites (or resurrecting old ones). While cooking huge meals for groups of people or even my family has been the biggest part of my life, one of the big things I will always enjoy for myself is a stiff drink and a good appetizer spread. I think it’s the mother of two in me that tends to find myself ‘snacking on the run’ throughout the day rather than taking the time to eat a full meal. Have you ever tried loading a washer with a fork full of green beans? And god forbid the extra dishes! After cooking food for my household if I end up with time to sit down, I want it to be a peaceful quiet moment with my drink and simple food I can eat with my hands. One of the best combos I’ve come to find in this specific situation is an Apple Pie drink and a beautifully displayed charcuterie board with all my favorite items. Their both simple and can be relatively inexpensive. Oh! And NO COOKING!!!

Why be Vegetarian
After Reading “the omnivore's dilemma” by Michael Pollan, the book opened my eye to such a big subject. We, as human beings, have a long history on this planet. We may not know how we started on this planet, but we know that we did all that we could to survive and live for another day. We had to kill other animals to eat and survive. However, after a very long time using the method of killing to live, we finally found another source of food that is good enough to keep us alive and healthy. That source is farming. We somehow learned how to plant seeds and get vegetables and fruits that can give us our need for protein and vitamins to live. With that said so, people should adopt a vegetarian diet because vegetarian food is better for the body, easier to have, and will save animals' life.

Count your blessings - Spiced Yoghurt and Coconut Curry
Count your blessings - Spiced Yoghurt and Coconut Curry - Kerala Pulisherry One of my favourite dishes is the Spiced Yoghurt and Coconut Curry which is also known as Kerala Pulisherry in the language Malayalam. This is a traditional dish that is part of South Indian Cuisine in Kerala. Kerala Pulisherry is also known as Moru Curry. I always like to cook this dish for my family and it is the most frequent dish that I make. This is one of the dishes that is most customarily served with easy cook rice, pickle and papadum and it can be served in addition to the chicken curry or fish curry and can cool down the spice of the other more spicier curries in the meal.

Red Velvet Toffee Snap Cookies
Of course, you probably know me very well for invading Vocal with my film studies stuff and articles entitled ‘a filmmaker’s guide’. I have often explained that I love to bake as well. Since I was young, I have loved the idea, the creativity and the relaxation of baking different things. I love to make macarons, layer cakes and gingerbread in particular and the activity of it really gets me away from my laptop (where I’m sure you know that I spend most of my life). So, I hope you enjoy me talking about what I bake and why I bake it complete with pictures (if not very good) of me actually baking, my baked goods in the process of being created and when they’re finished. I’m really happy to share this with you. And if you like, you can show me your baking (yes, I spend a lot of time writing, but I also spend a lot of time reading other people’s articles!), I would love to see it. Since I was in school, I was always interested in creating things, whether that be pieces of writing, welding things to make small statues or baking foods and making sweets (candy, if you’re American). I hope you enjoy looking at some of the stuff that has honestly kept me sane, because I seem to be going slightly mad.
