Cilantro Mahi Mahi with roeasted asparagus.

I made Fish last week, a cilantro mahi mahi with some fresh tomatoes. I have an approximate recipe:
Sautée fish in a hot pan with Olive oil. Add tomatoes and onion in the pan, with a cup of fresh cilantro, and salt and pepper. In another pan, heat olive oil and add asparagus cook them til tender making sure to move them around.
Enjoy! This was so simple, and very tasty...The fresh tomatoes and cilantro did not overpower the fish...which tasted fresh and summery!

Soupe aux champignons- Mushroom soup

I love fall: The change of leave colors, the pretty sweaters, the fun scarves, and the soups!! After a beautiful summer, we have been enjoying an Indian summer, and today it has "finally" cooled down! Which inspired me to make a mushroom soup!! Quick and easy, perfect for a "déjeuner du Lundi", a Monday lunch.

• 2 cups chopped onions
• 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• ground black pepper to taste
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

I Scream for Ice Cream!! Mes recettes de Glaces

I love my ice cream machine...it is such a great way to make a quick dessert when we have friends over. This week, I tried a Rum Raisin recipe. I tripled it because we had 13 people over, but I think I messed up as it was too liquid and way to sweet. I tried it again, and it came out perfectly...Here is a picture of the ice cream out of the ice cream bowl. The consistency was creamy and delicious!

Rum-Raisin Ice Cream
1 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup of whole milk
1 cup of sugar
3 jumbo egg yolks
1/2 cup dark Jamaican rum
1 cup golden raisins


Peanut butter:

1 cup creamy peanut butter
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Mint Chocolate Ice cream


So easy to make, sooo delicious...
1 cup of milk
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup of sugar
3/4 mini chocolate chips

Stir til the sugar is melted, pour the mixture in the ice cream maker...

I have made it with only milk, for a lighter version...it is still very good.

Crazy month of June!

Wow, it has been a long time since I have been updating any of my little blogs. June has been crazy, and my camera has not been working right for the past few months. We have not been able download the pics from the camera, which is of course pretty annoying.

Anyway, I bought a Cuisinart Ice cream maker few weeks ago, and it has been pretty fun to experiment with recipes. So far, I made chestnut, chocolate decadence, and peanut butter, which has been the most popular, and the easiest to make!! It is pretty amazing how easy it is to use, and how much better it taste! I wish the maker would be a little bigger, and this is my only complain t so far...I will take more pics as I experiment with other flavors.


Here are some pictures of a meal I made last week. Chili and Peanut Chicken with grilled Thai vegetables, which I served on a bed of couscous...

Salade verte

Simple, but delicious...Greens with healthy and colorful veggies! And a boiled egg for protein!

Party food

Few pictures from Lynea's shower's buffet: I made cold soups and tarts...This is a tomato bocconcini tart, and a fontina asparagus tart.

Avocado Ice cream

My friend Hélène organized a girls' night out last Saturday, and we went to Ricky Ly's, a new local Thai restaurant in Woodmere. The food was amazing, even though the menu had 150 items. I ordered a Thai chicken avocado meal, with a coconut milk base sauce. Heavenly! We got to meet Ricky Ly after our meal, when we sat at the bar to get a drink. He has been in the States for over 30 years. He is a very knowledgeable and friendly man. I love talking to "foreigners" and share stories...anyway, I ordered a "Zentini", a martini with green tea. It was very good, although on the sweet side; the best part is when Ricky offered us to try is homemade avocado ice cream. It is not on the menu, and offer it when he has it in the kitchen. It was amazing! It is hard to describe, I think I'd compare the taste with pistachio with a delicious hint of coconut! Oh man...I would recommend this place to anyone with adventurous palate!!
