Lentil Tacos with Pickled Cabbage, Tahini Cream and Microgreens

January 16, 2017

I absolutely love tacos for a weeknight dinner. They're not only delicious and have endless topping variations, but they're pretty easy and require very little cooking time. Most of the work is actually done at the table by your guests, so you (the chef) just have to put out the toppings (phew!). For this recipe, the toppings I've selected are ...

Meringue Swirl Cookies

December 25, 2016

This morning I just finished cleaning up after hosting my Fiancé’s (yes, we’re newly engaged!) family for Christmas- it was lovely. And the cleaning up doesn’t bother me at all (granted, I don’t do it alone which makes a huge difference!). The sense of accomplishment and enjoyment from feeding others definitely outweigh ...

Beef and Watermelon Sandwich with Sesame Mayo

December 15, 2016

Watermelon in winter?! I know it sounds crazy, but it is entirely possible and realistic. I was skeptical at first when the Watermelon Board asked me to make a winter dish using their fruit. Isn't a watermelon both hard to find and expensive in the winter? It came as a surprise to me that in fact neither is true- while it is slightly more ...

Potato Leek Soup with Bacon Croutons

December 11, 2016

Bacon is an ingredient that immediately suggests richness and indulgence. While I totally understand the appeal, I never crave it. I'm just not a bacon kind of girl (watch out chocolate cake, I'm heart-eyeing you!). Oddly enough, I've recently felt the pangs of wanting the smoky crispness of well-cooked bacon. So of course, I had to act!

French Shortbread: Sablés Bretons

December 1, 2016

With the holiday season fast (too fast!!) approaching, our holiday baking plans are becoming more and more concrete. If you're organized enough that your freezer is already stocked with your holiday baking, I'm pretty sure you should treat yourself to a golden star sticker. But, if you're like me and you've barely started, I've got your back. ...

Chorizo and Chicken Paella

November 16, 2016

Paella is a dish I absolutely love. The crispy bits of rice, the abundance of well-seasoned seafood, and of course the generous dose of spices. This Chorizo and Chicken Paella is nothing short of delicious but with more winter-friendly ingredients for us Canadians during the cold winter months. I love the mix of chicken and spicy sausage, ...

16 Holiday Cookies You Haven’t Tried Yet

November 8, 2016

The holiday season wouldn’t be the same without cookies. This applies to whatever holiday you celebrate! I always try to make the classics- shortbread, gingerbread, biscotti, rolled cookies and many others- but somehow, I always seem to make them all at once. Is it just me, or does everybody try to make 6 dozen cookies in one evening? I ...

3-ingredient Dog Biscuits

October 30, 2016

First off, let me make this clear. The dog in these photos, Saxo, is not mine. But he has been living with me for the past three months. He actually belongs to my parents-in-law, and for the short version of the story, we’ve been taking care of him! And, because he isn’t mine, I get to spoil him. I take him on long walks in the ...

The words themselves speak wonders, putting me into a state of relaxation and enjoyment. Or maybe it’s just because I’ve had to loosen my belt buckle just slightly to make a bit ...
