Onion, Bacon & Gruyere Quiche

The days of crisp salads and light fruit cocktails are over. Oh yeah, they’re gone alright. It’s time for Autumn food! Can you tell I have a thing for rich, nourishing, and abundant autumn dishes? Casseroles, savoury pies, soups, stews… you name it, I’ll make it. Today I’m celebrating the start of autumn with the ultimate comfort food: a simple and fast onion quiche. Nothing fancy. Cheating a bit even…

    Funky Fonq Burger

    Nothing beats a good burger. I’ve always been in love with making burgers of all kinds. You can get a little crazy with them, I like that. There’s just so much flavour you can put into the burger itself. That way you can go easy on the fixings, even though a little melted cheese never hurt anyone. This baby has a wicked tomato flavour while the basil gives it a…

      Baja Chicken Wrap

      My new favourite food: Baja chicken wrap. A really exotic name for just a simple chicken, lettuce, cheese and avocado wrap… difference is, this one incorporates a killer Baja sauce using a Taco Bell knock off recipe that I tweaked the heck out of. Ain’t life grand!   Ingredients:   Wraps: 4 tortilla wraps 1 grilled chicken breast 1/2 head iceberg lettuce 2 avocado’s 2 oz cheese (Pepper Jack, Gouda,…

        Witch’s Cheese

        I’d never even heard of Witch’s cheese until someone asked me about the recipe. I googled it and quickly found it’s a typically Dutch (Twents) dip that’s used as crostini topping, sauce for pork chops, cheese spread, a vegetable dip and even dressing. Pretty versatile. Went to the store and there it was: Zuivelhoeve Heks’nkaas. Tasted it and in all honesty… wasn’t too crazy about it. To me it has…

          Comeback Burger

          It was time for me to come back! Had a wonderful and relaxing vacation, got to spend fun time with J-man, but am ready to rock again. What have I been doing? Well, for starters, I managed to copy the McDonald’s burgers. I sure did and get this, I even bought MSG for it; they use lots of it and I really wanted to duplicate their burgers. So far I…

            Parmesan Mushroom Ragout

            You can wake me up for this and I even promise I won’t deck ya! No, really, I’ll eat it smack-dab in the middle of the night. How’s that for procrastination? This bowl has a whole lot of creamy, yummy goodness in it. You can serve this with an indecent amount of crusty French bread for dipping, but what’s even better is warm, crispy crostini with some ragout spooned on…
