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 ...

Apple Butter Tacos with Mango Cilantro Salsa and Cream Puff Pudding Cake
I recently partnered with M and M Meat Shops to create some fun and festive recipes for the upcoming holiday season. And what fun it was! I scouted out their nearest location and, after visiting their website and reserving my items online (which is a great feature!), I went to visit their storefront. The staff was very keen to help me out- ...

Butternut Squash and Anise Soup
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
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
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
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 ...
Pumpkin Cupcakes with Molasses Cardamom Icing
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! Cities all over the world including Montreal have already lined their streets with light-decorated trees or a light tree. And this definitely happened ...

Apple Spice Smoothie
Last weekend Ben and I went apple picking with our friends Rebecca and Paul. We harvested Spartan, Macintosh, Lobo, and Golden apples, each just as delicious as their cousins (that sounds quite cannibalistic but I`m going to keep going…) It was a gorgeously warm and sunny day, but probably the last of the season before we transition into ...

Baked Squash Wontons with Sriracha Ginger Dipping Sauce
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
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 ...
