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 ...

Butternut Squash and Anise Soup

November 14, 2015

Snow! Today was the day the frozen seal was broken. Winter is coming. I love winter. I love bundling up with soft scarves and mittens, breathing in the crisp air, and walking into warm homes with delicious smells wafting from the kitchen. This soup is one of my favourites as it warms you up from the inside out. The sweet and fragrant butternut ...

Chimichurri Sauce

November 4, 2015

As the fall weather turns more and more frigid here in Canada, I can’t help but go into hibernation mode as I try to preserve all the fresh produce I can get my hands on. Capturing the freshness and flavours of the summer bounty is probably one of the most satisfying “winterizing” tasks (putting the flower pots into storage ...

I attended the Food Bloggers of Canada conference last weekend for the first time. It was an incredible experience, and I met a hugely impressive group of people. They were all so passionate, so expressive, and so determined! I left that conference feeling invigorated and ready to dedicate more love to my blog. Writing a blog can be incredibly ...

Baked Squash Wontons with Sriracha Ginger Dipping Sauce

April 30, 2014

Ben and I are moving into our new apartment together in two months! We both love to entertain, and our new apartment will give us just that much more space to invite people over and actually cook in a full size kitchen. My kitchenette simply does not hold my kitchen-y things any longer. In my current apartment, my kitchen has over-flooded ...

Gooey Apple Crumble Bars

November 6, 2013

Oh these are bad. These are dangerously bad. I fully regret posting these on here because it means that somewhere else in the world, someone will give them a try and have the same experience. Pure unadulterated food bliss that results in consuming the entire pan. But oh it’s worth it. The cake-y crust supports a heaping pile of spiced ...

Cranberry Spice Upside Down Cake

October 24, 2013

As a kid, I absolutely loved cranberry sauce with my turkey during special holiday dinners. I loved the added sweetness, and would often gobble up the red remains on my plate with a spoon. Those memories stuck with me, and later on in life when I went cranberry picking with my family in an Ontario marsh, I cheerfully popped a fresh one into ...
