Spicy Eggplant and Chinese Sausage Stir fry

May 23, 2017

Looking for a perfect weeknight dinner recipe? This eggplant and sausage stir fry made the list because it's simply delicious and fast- it comes together in about 15 minutes. A mix of sweet and savory is always a win in my books, and the gentle hit of spice means even those who aren't a fan of spicy dishes will enjoy it (and if you're a ...

Carrot Top Pesto & Spiraled Zucchini

September 25, 2016

Disclaimer: Hamilton Beach provided me with their 3-in-1 Spiralizer in order to conduct this review. All words, recipes and opinions are entirely my own. Carrot tops don’t get nearly the attention they deserve. For years, I used to chop off the leafy greens that crowned the root and throw them away. That is, until I discovered you ...

Roasted Stuffed Eggplant for a North African Afternoon

May 18, 2016

Last weekend I had the most uplifting and unique experience: I spent an entire day cooking with two fellow food bloggers. Now, this could have easily been disastrous. Has anyone ever heard the saying “too many cooks spoil the broth”? But luckily, it was a grand afternoon! We decided to each select a recipe within our North African ...

Cranberry Carrot Salad with Fennel Croutons + 5 Tips for Serving a Beautiful Salad

April 27, 2016

I think what makes salads appetizing, especially when you’re at a restaurant, is when they’ve chocked full of stuff. Piled high with flavours and textures; drizzled in a variety of oils and vinegars, and mouthfuls of homemade croutons for an incredible crunch!

Onion Chutney

December 31, 2015

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season! I’ve been taking it easy chez maman et papa in Ontario and relishing the finer things (like having someone else take care of the cooking). I don’t know about you, but when I’m visiting my parents I become a lazy clout. But at least I bring delicious treats like this wonderful ...

Baba Ghanoush

October 11, 2015

What is your favourite Canadian Thanksgiving treat? While I’m a huge fan of freshly made pumpkin pie with whipped cream, my favourite way to celebrate this special day is by leaving the traditional aside and instead make it about discovering new dishes or celebrating those long forgotten. Baba ghanoush is this year’s favourite ...

You see a few runners and joggers outside, sure, but there are hoards of people who run to the gym to get on the treadmill and run. And it is beautiful outside!

Corn and Cod Chowder

January 10, 2015

My New Year’s resolutions is to eat more fish. Variety is the key to success, I find, when it comes to a healthy diet. It’s so easy to fall into a routine of eating the same thing every week, so I set out to find easy and healthy fish-based meals, while spending little brain power in actually cooking it. Fish is a very particular ...
