Mazeudon with Chicken & Miso Butter – Leels Cooks

Maze-what you say? I recently went on a bit of a vacation back to the motherland (Vancouver, BC Canada) and tried a dish called Mazesoba at Kokoro Tokyo Mazesoba in downtown Vancouver. It’s a relatively new dish (not that new), and is only just arriving to some places in North America. My first one! Noodles, chashu pork, green onion, garlic, chinese chives, nori and dried fish powder. #yolkporn What is it? The name basically means mixed noodles, called either abura soba or mazesoba, (mazemen or mazeudon if you’re calling out specific types). Noodles, generally thick, served with a variety of … Read more

Garlic Knot Christmas Tree – Leels Cooks

General

We all love garlic knots, and pull apart Christmas tree bread has been all the rage lately, so why not combine the two? This is far from an original idea, but I thought I’d throw one together anyway (and eat it all, y’know, for science). You can make this recipe volumes easier by subbing out store bought pizza dough or biscuit dough, but I’ve provided a recipe in case you wanted to make the effort. Store bought would still be immensely delicious, so don’t feel bad if you wanna save yourself some time during the usual holiday insanity. I prefer … Read more

Cranberry Banana Oat Breakfast Cookies – Leels Cooks

General

It’s the New Year, and that means we’re all trying to get back on track once again. When we’re eating mindfully, I try to have some sort of breakfasty thing pre-made that my husband can grab and take to work, and to have something around if I need a snack midday. I have an older recipe for another style (link here) but honestly I think I like these best! I’m really trying to cut down on fake sugars and trying to fit more vegetarian/vegan options in, so these are the perfect choice without rocking the boat too much. These vegan and … Read more

Tavva Kitchen Review! Bento time. – Leels Cooks

General

It’s bento time! I was sent one of these lovely boxes to try from Tavva Kitchen and I couldn’t resist since I’ve been making bentos and cute lunches for my husband. If you didn’t notice, you’d better follow my instagram! I grabbed their deluxe lunch container, it’s a cute single level stainless steel box with a silicone lid, they come in different shapes and sizes as well. Their label states that everything is food grade and bpa/bps free. Dishwasher safe and a lifetime guarantee. Not bad for a container that we generally look at as a temporary vessel. It’s sturdy, … Read more

Za’atar & Harissa Boneless Wings – Leels Cooks

General

You might be looking at this asking yourself “what and what chicken?” but trust me if you haven’t yet been introduced to either za’atar or harissa, it’s beyond worth it, and may become a new family favourite. So, what are they? Za’atar is a middle eastern splice blend containing thyme, oregano, marjoram, or some combination thereof, mixed with toasted sesame seeds, sumac and salt. It’s herby, savory and the sumac gives it a lemony tang. Delicious on grilled meats, baked on top of breads, in dips or sprinkled on anything. Harissa is a Tunisian red pepper paste. Spicy with roasted … Read more

Vegetarian Temari Sushi – Leels Cooks

General

Simple, elegant, light and endlessly customizable. Not only are these easier to make than regular sushi rolls, they’re also so impressive looking. Make these vegetarian like I have or choose your own favourite toppings. I used avocado, cucumber, tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet), sweet potato and nori. You can use anything you’d like though, sushi fish, smoked salmon, chicken, beef – anything you’d find IN a sushi roll at your favourite place! This recipe makes about 10-12 individual temari sushi (depending on how you measure them out). What you need: 1/2 cup sushi rice 3/4 cup water 1 tbsp seasoned sushi vinegar … Read more

Lentil Bolognese – Leels Cooks

General

I don’t eat enough lentils even though I love them. They’re such a useful protein source and make THE BEST meatloaves/meatballs. This is an offshoot of one of my older recipes: The Best Lentil Meatballs with a few adjustments, feel free to try that recipe as well, it’s great! And if you do, you can always just sub leftovers from that into this recipe. You can make this recipe vegan if you want, either omit the cheese or if you can find a vegan cheese that melts/caramelizes well use that! The cheese just adds a layer of flavour and fat but … Read more

Meal Prep – Taco Alfredo Pasta – Leels Cooks

General

I wanted to share my favourite meal-prep recipe that I make weekly that’s been keeping me sane. It’s not one of those hyper “clean” recipes or anything, but it has whole wheat pasta, lean protein, broccoli and it’s approx 350 calories per serving. It is comforting and filling which is all I can really ask for as a frequent binge eater and deep lover of carbs. Personally, I find I’m so much more successful when I meal prep in a realistic sense. No absolutes, no extreme restriction or deviation from what I would normally eat. Focusing on lower calorie/workarounds to … Read more

Greek Chicken One Pan Dinner – Leels Cooks

General

One pot/sheet pan meals have been on my blog “to-do” list for a while, I asked on instagram what people wanted to see and was asked to make one so here we are! There are a million similar recipes to this, but this one is my version. I tried to make it in as few steps as I could, but still trying to allow each ingredient to shine. Sometimes one pan meals meld together a little too much and everything is a bit samey. Tender savoury potatoes, juicy herbed chicken and some bright roasted vegetables topped with feta. Lots of … Read more

Carrot Cake Blondies – Leels Cooks

General

I had the craziest craving for carrot cake (probably from all of these blogs posting Easter recipes) so I decided to throw together one for myself. Not a cake-cake because I didn’t want to fuss with layers and have that much. Just a denser blondie type batter with all the flavouring and carrots required. Feel free to add raisins or swap the pecans for walnuts. What you need: 1 cup unsalted butter, melted 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar 1 egg + 1 egg yolk 1 cup finely grated carrot 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder … Read more
