Singapore Noodles (New Version)

I haven't made this in months but suddenly had a craving. I changed up how I make it a bit and I think this version is the best one ever. If you don't want to use chicken, you can use pork, shrimp or tofu.

Not only is it BETTER than take out and much healthier, it is also a cinch to make. You don't need to even bother soaking the noodles because once they absorb all the yummy sauce they will be the perfect consistency!

1 lb ground chicken
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 head broccoli, cut into florets (microwaved or steamed a few minutes)
3 Japanese eggplants, sliced
2 red or yellow bell peppers, sliced
1 cup snow peas, trimmed
1 bunch green onions, cut into 1 inch pieces on a bias

300g brown rice vermicelli

Sauce

2 tbls tomato paste or ketchup
2 tbls soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 tbls fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 tbls curry powder
1/2 tsp Chinese five spice powder
1/4 tsp tumeric
1/2 tsp salt
1 can light coconut milk
Cayenne pepper, to taste (optional)

In a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.

In a large wok or skillet, brown meat over medium heat. When almost cooked, pour in vinegar and add veggies. Stir fry until veggies are tender crisp and then add sauce and vernmicelli noodles. Toss together until noodles soften and the sauce has been absorbed. Makes 4 servings.

Japanese 7-Spice Kelp Noodles

I love trying new spices and seasonings, so I am very excited that the President's Choice Black Label line now has a bunch of new spice blends available.  My most recent find: Shichimi Togarashi, or Japanese 7-Spice blend. It's a combination of crushed red chili flakes, sea salt, Szechiuan peppercorns, black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, orange zest, wasabi powder and nori seaweed flakes. I make Japanese-inspired dishes all the time, but resort to the same old flavours most of the time: miso, soy, sesame, ginger and garlic.  I was so excited to be able to liven things up a bit. This dish is easy and tasty, although be warned that this seasoning packs punch.  I used 1 tsp, which ended up being too spicy for me, and I have a high tolerance for heat!  I recommend 1/4-1/2 tsp, or, if you don't like heat at all, make your own at home and omit the red chili flakes.  You'll get all the flavour without the heat. I served these noodles with a mix of seafood (

Blackfly Coolers: Product Review

Summer is over! Well, at least if you're a student. Officially it doesn't end for a few weeks, and it certainly still feels like summer. Yeah, I hate it. This f*cking hot, humid weather needs to end NOW! We made the most of our last weekend of the summer with our annual trip to the CNE on Friday, with a crowd of friends. It wasn't unbearably lot, thank goodness, and the girls and their friends had a blast on the rides.  Saturday I had to work, and Sunday was errand day. Monday we took the girls berry/apple/pear picking but didn't last long due to the heat. I organized the house to prepare for the construction workers starting back up yesterday, while Adam took the girls for a swim in our neighbourhood pool. Yesterday was the first day of school. Grade 2 and Grade 5. Yep, the girls are growing up.  We are fortunate that the girls don't have much anxiety about school, they are so much more confident than I ever was as a kid! But now, in the midst of our reno ch

How to Look Like a Celebrity

Okay, I know you're going to be interested in this post! I am sure virtually every woman in North America has wondered how Hollywood celebrities achieve such 'perfect' bodies.  Well, at CAN FIT PRO last week, one of Hollywood's top fitness trainers, Eric the Trainer , was there to tell us fitness professionals the secrets! Eric the Trainer, gave several presentations, and I caught the one on Celebrity Secrets, and it was most interesting!!!  I also found some of what he said rather disturbing. First off, he was very upfront about the fact that celebrities come to him for improve their appearance.  Not to improve their health or athletic performance.  To look their best.  He admitted that his approach then, is entirely dedicated to that end. Male and female celebrities are trained in completely different ways because Hollywood wants women to be lithe and thin and in his words, "look like they dropped out of heaven looking this way without every having ste
