So, it’s September and why not celebrate when we have a reason to…it’s National Chicken Month! Chicken…Every part of it is so delicious.

This is Day Nine of our One Month Grocery Shopping Strike! Today was a serious work-day online and believe it or not, I didn’t cook anything today…that’s crazy, right? Well, we still had leftover Spicy Thai Ginger Coconut Chicken Soup and I happened to skip breakfast. We enjoyed the rest of the German Rhubarb Moos from our SuperBowl feast. Today, it snowed yet again.  So, to keep warm, we drank lots of tea....

This is Day Seven of our One Month Grocery Shopping Strike! I did a lot of writing today and “forgot” to eat breakfast… For lunch, I had a quick can of Chunky Soup – New England Clam Chowder and doctored it up with cayenne pepper & dill. For dinner, I am making Spicy Thai Ginger Coconut Chicken Soup – so amazing. I added some edamame for some protein, variety & color, as well as a can of bamboo...

Mushroom Week on Cooking with Kimberly!

My favorite “vegetable” (well, it’s really a fungus, but whatever…LOL) is the mushroom! It was understood as I grew up that mushrooms were tasty, yes, but they didn’t have much nutritional benefits other than a bit of fiber and lots of water. Until last year, this is what I thought. However, mushrooms are chock full of all kinds of special nutrients, vitamins and minerals that can only be found in...

Web Chef Review: Itt’s Thai Restaurant – St. Catharines, ON

That’s not a typo…LOL There is a restaurant in St. Catharines, Ontario called Itt’s Thai! My mother and sister wanted Thai, but didn’t feel like driving from the Pen Center (a mall in St. Kitt’s) over to Spicy Thai and heard there was one over on Hartzel Rd. They told me it was super clean and very nice inside. The waiter was helpful and friendly too. Most importantly, the TASTE! They brought me food...

Be Sure You Can See Clearly When You Cook

I have a funny story that just happened this past week. My mother made me some homemade chicken soup after I had surgery. I mentioned to her that I thought the rice she put in the soup was nice. She was absolutely certain that she had put barley in the soup, not rice. However, being the “foodie” that I am…LOL…, I knew it was rice by the taste and the texture of the grain. That night, I was cleaning up a few...
