Prosciutto Pork Medallions with Kiwi Ginger Compote
Disclaimer: Please note this blog post was sponsored by Zespri Kiwifruit. All text and recipes are, as usual, entirely my own. When I was in France a couple months ago, my grandmother-in-law handed me a golden kiwi. I was puzzled- how had I never heard of this before? I sliced and scooped out the pale, yellow flesh and allowed the sweetness to ...

Shrimp Skewers with Green Pea Pesto
Disclaimer: This post was sponsored by The Little Potato Company. Please note all words, recipes, and opinions are entirely my own. Every summer I look forward to three things: swimming in lakes, wearing summer dresses to work, and cooking on the barbecue. I know some fellow Canadians are all-season barbecuers, and I applaud you ...

Sweet and Salty Potato Salad + A Giveaway {giveaway closed}
Salads are one of the best summertime dishes. You can make it different and interesting at every turn by trying new ingredients, yet keep it light and filling at the same time. I think I became hooked on meal salads because I needed to pack lunches for work and I wanted something cool and easy to make. Grain-salads, based on ...
Examining the Breville Quick Touch Crisp
Disclaimer: I was invited to a product demonstration event and given a Breville Quick Touch Crisp in order to conduct this review. A microwave today isn’t considered a particularly advanced piece of technology. It came to market around the 1960’s and stayed there, like a secondary character in a sitcom: always around, but rarely ...

Goat Cheese and Pumpkin Scalloped Potatoes
Scalloped potatoes is a very popular dish in my family. I have fond memories of my mom serving her famous gratin with gorgonzola cheese. It’s hard to believe she could get kids to scoff down mouthfuls of blue cheese, but the recipe was that good! This version of scalloped potatoes is not only higher in nutrients thanks to the added ...

Biryani Potatoes and Poached Eggs
You know when you’re got so much happening that you feel like you don’t have enough time to take care of yourself? When time has become so precious, that the idea of cooking for an hour seems unfathomable? That’s me right now. We’ve all been there: sacrificing our nutrition for the sake of time. And once in a while, it ...

Crispy Potato Bites with Smoked Salmon and Creme Fraiche
This weekend was commemorative for me and my partner Ben: this was the weekend our parents met! I knew I wanted to make this dinner special, so we started the meal off with some sparkling cider from Quebec and these crispy potato bites with smoked salmon and creme fraiche. And oh, how decadent they were! The potatoes were extra-crispy thanks ...

Slow Roasted Za’atar Potatoes
Slow-roasted vegetables, particularly potatoes, are heavenly. They become soft and tender on the inside but earn a crispy and caramelized outside. Add za’atar, a Middle Eastern spice mix, and you’ve got a heavenly pan of goodness! Incredibly flavourful, this dish will surely be a hit. Not to mention perfect for winter months when ...

Potato Waffles and Pomegranate Molasses
Waffles are one of my favourite breakfast foods. The extra effort required to whip them up makes them a weekend special, and they’re always rated first-class during brunch. But, like any classic, it can also be fun to give them a bit of a new flavour. These waffles are stuffed full of- you guessed it- mashed potatoes! I mixed in some ...
