Current Obsession: Baked Vegetables

I've always (ALWAYS) been a stove top person. Stir fry, stir fry, stir fry, or raw.

I've recently started to bake vegetables and am I in LOVE! Perhaps it's just different from my usual but they taste better (sweeter), and are way easier (don't need a consistently watchful eye).

(lonely pepper with the dirty dishes....) 

I've honestly baked about every vegetable in my fridge. And I (always) follow these three steps: 

1. Slice/Chop/Dice - you pick!

2. Brush on some oil, sprinkle some rock salt, and crack some fresh pepper

3. Bake at 375 (degress C.) for twenty minutes

(the lonely pepper now baked with carrots, tomatoes, and cauliflower)

And voila! You are done. Squeeze the juice of a fresh lemon on top or drizzle on some good balsamic vinegar.

Out now! 

And I am back.....(!)

It starts again! My "food" experiences, reviews, and my adventures with food are once again (2 years later) being posted for your pleasure/scrutiny. Enjoy.

All you can eat sushi, can never go wrong. At Nagoya Sushi (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/nagoya-sushi-montreal-2) quick service, really friendly wait staff, decent sushi although despite ordering what seemed like 12 varieties all of it seemed to taste the same.

I digress.
Love/Thanks.

Cooking in a World of Geeks

Caught up in world of freaks and geeks, I am presently discovering the amazement of my advanced research class. Essentially a min-PhD., kind of like a sneak peak at the world of research and the absolute joy of it. The class, cutely titled I.Q. (Inquiry Quest 20 *the link gives somewhat of an idea of my class), requires us, that is all the advanced students, to immerse ourselves in to actual field experience.

My immersion works around case studies and home tests of foods. So let me introduce you to my topic, I am exploring the world of adolescent nutrition, and whether or not it's possible to bring the world of appeal beside it. So with recipes in hand, a kitchen, and for now (later on I ll be testing other teenagers) my mouth I am hunting down some delicious and nutritious recipes!
So in my hunt I encountered and prepared some fresh cream of celery, with freshly baked biscuits, and some Gouda for my lunch. Of course I had some coffee, with lots of cream and sugar ( I am not very serious about my black potion). The soup was the epitome of healthy, made with milk and only a drop of oil, cream, pureed celery and onions. The original recipe of the biscuits called for 1 and 1/2 cups of whole cream, giving one biscuit (out of 12) a whopping 200 calories, I substituted for milk and brought it down to a smaller digit. However, replacing the flour with whole wheat/grain would have been a healthier option. Gouda cheese, like most should be kept at a limit, but well thats my weakness--I love cheese! Overall a healthy meal, however lacking in protein.
