Countless numbers of us, on a daily basis, are faced with the challenge of filling multiple roles. We must be spouses, parents, professionals, etc., and still find time and energy after all that to be health-conscious individuals! Life shouldn't be an exhausting struggle, it should be a collection of one enjoyable, memorable, fulfilling, experience after another, should it not? I mean, pardon the cliché, but life's too short to let it be anything else.

I am a self-proclaimed food hobbyist on a quest to find delicious, healthy, fast, easy-to-make recipes and to successfully make those food adjectives actually belong together in a sentence. I am looking for after work meals that don't come out of a can, that I can enjoy preparing after a long work day, that my family will enjoy eating, and that will allow me to rest assured knowing that we are eating healthy. When I find these meals, I wish to share them with others. Cheers :)

Newfoundland Blood Pudding

For our most recent date night, my man and I ventured downtown to a restaurant called The Black Hoof.....it was amazing!!

I was told that the chef sometimes has a blood sausage on the menu that is to die for.....I was immediately intrigued, and had to find out if the blood sausage was anything like my grandmother's black pudding (one of my all time favorite foods in the world). Unfortunately there wasn't any blood sausage on the menu that night.

Ever since our evening out, however, I have been craving my grandmom's blood pudding, and the only access I have to it (other than going home to NF and getting it) is to drive out to my cousin's Newfoundland Store in Cambridge, where he has fresh, homemade Newfoundland black pudding in his cooler, just like my grandmom's -in fact, it's the recipe she used!

It's the Sunday of a long weekend, we were struggling trying to decide what to do for din din tonite, it was a beautiful day, and my craving got the better of me, all these factors contributed to my decision to take the fam and go for a nice drive out to Cambridge. And now sitting here watching my little one enjoying one of my favorite foods just as I did at my grandmom's as a child, and watching my husband enjoying my cultural cuisine as I very often enjoy his, I'm certainly glad I did!!

To prepare the pudding, just slice and pan fry in a little butter or margarine for approx. 5 minutes per side on high heat. Use a very wide spatula to turn or pudding may crumble when turning.

Serve and enjoy!









Looooooove blood pudding!!!

For dessert: Another blast from my past Purity Lemon Creams with Purity Partridgeberry and Apple Jam, and a nice cup of tea!! (I couldn't just stop at the blood pudding in my cousin's store after all!)



I'm in heaven. *siiiigh* if only we could be here:

or here (Gros Morne Nat'l Park):

Cheers :)
