I feel as though I’ve gone quasi-illiterate over the summer. I’ve been stuck on the same book for over a month now (I loved reading the first two stories from the author, but the third is missing that magic), and … Continue reading One-Pot Thai Chicken Soup

Before we get to the food, there’s a little bit of business that must be attended to first. I’m very excited to announce that this is the first in a series of non-consecutive posts to appear on From James to Jamie as part … Continue reading Beer-Battered Shrimp Po’ Boys
Sitting here, staring at my computer screen, I’m feeling a little out of practice. I’ve actually been keeping very busy over here at From James to Jamie, cooking lots and testing numerous recipes. What I haven’t been doing lately, though, is … Continue reading Heirloom Tomato and Goat Cheese Galette
Hrvatska! Hrvatska! Hrvatska! Wow – I have no words! None! Well…maybe just a few. Croatia just won their Euro 2016 match against Spain, and I am way too excited about that to think about anything else! So, for a rare … Continue reading Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni
I think I finally have it figured out, and it only took me a year and a half! Since starting From James to Jamie, I’ve always had it in the back of my mind that my efforts would pay off … Continue reading Chipotle Chicken Sliders
Quick, what’s the capital of Tajikistan? Anybody? No? That’s what I thought – nobody! Of course, I have no idea whether or not that’s actually the case; in fact, I highly doubt that NOBODY reading this knows the answer (it’s Dushanbe, … Continue reading Bangkok Chicken Wraps
So here’s the deal: it’s hot. Like, “accidentally” add another jalapeno or two and suddenly it becomes unbearable kind of hot. I know, because that’s exactly what I did. I made this dish once using a store-bought Moroccan spice rub mix, … Continue reading Spicy Moroccan Couscous with Chorizo and Prawns
Let’s start this off with a little bit of out-of-character vulnerability. Every time my wife travels somewhere new, fun, and/or exciting, I’m always just a little bit worried that she won’t come back home to me. I know it’s an unfounded … Continue reading Banoffee Pie
A few months back, my wife and I scoured Vancouver’s Chinatown in search of some key Chinese ingredients that our kitchen was missing. Though my focus was on finding Sezchuan peppercorns (or Chinese coriander, as it’s also called) and dried bird’s eye … Continue reading Chinese Cashew Chicken
With the hot weather hitting Canada’s west coast this month, I felt it was a about time to clean off the ole’ barbecue and get back to cooking with fire. Immediately after coming to this conclusion, I took a look at how dirty … Continue reading The Peanut Butter Cheddar Bacon Burger
Three days on MLS! Three days! My house was up on Realtor.ca (Canada’s MLS service) last Friday morning, and we tacked on the celebratory “sold” sticker Sunday afternoon (after choosing from competing offers and receiving *slightly more* than our optimistically high asking … Continue reading Greek Chicken and Rice Pilaf
As much as I love long anecdotes, there is just too much going on today to indulge like I usually do. Not only has it been an incredibly busy day, but it has been an emotionally taxing one as well. After … Continue reading Thai Green Chicken Curry
The age-old cliché likens our lives to a roller coaster, an obvious reference to the ups and downs we experience along this “wild ride we call life”. I’m okay with that; I can handle coasters like the best of them. I learned very recently … Continue reading Fish Tacos
I don’t think there’s been a recipe that I’ve been more excited to share here on From James to Jamie than this one. While I’ve posted a bunch of recipes from many different walks of life, this is the first … Continue reading “Quick” Paska (Mennonite Easter Bread)
To know me is to know that I am extremely technical, to the point of utterly annoying those around me. I simply cannot move past certain comments people make without either correcting or clarifying what they’ve said. Usually it’s good natured … Continue reading Red Wine Braised Short Ribs
