HOTDOG FLIGHT 🌭

If you think vegan food is boring, think again, these Field Roast Italian garlic and fennel sausages hold their own as
these regional classics. I recreated four of the most iconic flavour combos, New York, Chicago, Detroit and Seattle.
My vote goes to Seattle or Chicago, there is just something about cream cheese and Jalapeño that works so well. I was surprised to like the Chicago dog as much as I did. Fresh tomatoes on a dog is something I would never go for, but it works here.

Ingredients:
1 package of Italian Garlic & Fennel Sausages
4 hot dog buns of choice

New York Dog:
1/2 onion, sliced thin
1 tbsp ketchup
Saurkraut
1/4 white onion, diced
Yellow mustard

Chicago:
Diced onion
Tomato, sliced in half
Pickle spear, I used Dill
Hot sport pepper (hard to find, sub any hot pepper)
Green relish
Yellow mustard
I forgot the celery seed

Detroit:
Chilli, I used canned chilli
Diced onion
Yellow mustard

Seattle:
Dairy Free cream cheese
Carmelized onions
Jalapeño, sliced thin
Sriracha

Method:
1. Grill your sausages on a bbq until slightly charred on both sides.
2. Build each regional dog and dig in!

Crispy Avocado🥑 Tacos 👇

A core early cooking memory is when I was still in culinary school, and I didn’t know anything (I still have so much to learn). We were making these and I ran out of oil, so we knocked on our neighbours condo and borrowed an entire bottle of olive oil and deep fried them in that. I would not recommend that. Olive oil burns easily and is more expensive than a canola oil. Do as I say, not as I do.

The full recipe can be found over on my newsletter, click the link in my profile to recreate these perfectly crispy tacos!

As if that’s not enough, I also filmed the entire recipe and will be posting a longer format video on my YouTube channel later this week. Did you know I had a YouTube channel?!

See you Saturday! 📺

Instead of creating a month long ad campaign for big grocery, I want to highlight my friends growing food in my own backyard. Please feel free to tag a local farmer who is doing great things in your area! 👩‍🌾🧑‍🌾

Meet Madeleine, she owns and operates which is located just down the road from me in Hamilton. She has successfully converted a 70 year old conventional farm into a thriving spray free farm using organic and regenerative methods! We first met when we were both vendors at a local farmers market. I was struggling to sell a single thing, while she often sold out of her amazing fresh veg! I was first drawn to her because she is hilarious, and we could talk for hours about the struggles of owning a food business. Her passion for growing food is infectious and her seemingly positive attitude is very refreshing!  

Hamilton is such a small community, especially in the local food scene, and it’s generally dominated by men. Mad Meadow Farm is one of the few women owned and operated farms in the area. She started out mostly supplying local restaurants, which is what I would do if I was a farmer. Consistent sales. However, you can still find her amazing fresh veg and preserves weekly at the new Aldershot Farmers Market, and around the city at various pop ups!

If you have never been to a farmers market, that’s okay. It can be over stimulating and crowded. I would suggest searching for local CSA (community supported agriculture) boxes. They drop off local veg to your front door and it is generally WAY cheaper than big grocery stores.

Life’s good 👍

March was so good to me. These are SOME of the highs. A huge shift for me was when I decided to focus on what I have in my life, and not what I don’t have. Mindset is everything!

1. Watching my niece grow up in front of my eyes! Seeing my brother and sister in law as parents is so fun and inspiring!
2. Hitting the links with the fam! Evan is a master of the sport 🥏
3. Recreating my favourite sandwich of all time. A club sando + having a video go viral! 💕
4. Getting back on the trail runs with my perfect pup Joni. 🐕
5. Trying and being sooo impressed with
6. Cutting the mullet off 🪦
7. Back filming with my new bestie
8. The best thing I’ve made all month, cauliflower Manchurian!

How was your March? I’m happy spring is slowly blooming 🌷 I can’t wait for warmer days ahead and to get in the garden 🪴

2023 part 2.

Frankie truly stole the show this year. Other highlights include hanging with the best in laws in the world, watching more best friends get married and running my first half marathon thanks to .and.naps I couldn’t do it without you 🏃‍♀️

If you’ve always hated running, I highly recommend trying it with a friend who talks more than you do.

My word for 2023 was crosshairs 🎯

As someone with adhd, focus is a challenge. I’ve never been able to stick with anything. I wanted this year to be the year I finally figured it out. I didn’t. But I’d say I stuck to my plan like 80% of the time. I did realize that being surrounded by family and friends who care about me is a top priority. Quality time is my love language.

A huge break through this year was to find a medication that works for me. I realized that a lot of my anxiety comes from a lack of focus. The more focused I am on something, the less my brain can think about the “what ifs”.

I want to end by saying I have actually have found happiness and can say I am a lot happier than 2022 Fraser. Thankful for my family, friends and Joni. A wise friend once told me to check in on the people you care about. You just never know what everyone has going on. Here’s to 2024, life’s so short, I hope that you make the most of it.

1. My first diaper change
2. My other best friends wedding
3. My girls
4. Honeymooning in Croatia
5. Quickly becoming my favourite place
6. Mcplant, no cheese, no mayo
7. Quickly becoming my favourite place part 2
8. Out in the woods with the boys
9. Released another cookbook
10. Forever cooking up nasties
