Disclaimer: Thank you to The Little Potato Company for sponsoring this blog post! All recipes, wording, and opinions are, as usual, my own. Thanksgiving is such a special holiday.

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! Making a beautiful salad at home is totally possible, you just need a ...

Goat Cheese and Pumpkin Scalloped Potatoes

April 21, 2016

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 ...

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 ...

French Apple Tart

October 31, 2015

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 ...

Shrunken Potato Heads

October 21, 2015

Creeping ghosts, sneering goblins, cackling witches, and even glowing pumpkin faces. We know all the classic Hallowe’en characters, especially as we get ready for this favourite holiday. But what about shrunken heads? I mean, they’re probably the scariest of the bunch. So why don’t they become a part of the gang? I decided ...

Strap yourself in! We are officially entering the Winter Holiday Season. We do seem to get excited a little earlier every year. I’ve seen Christmas decorations installed in September!
