Potato Leek Soup with Bacon Croutons

December 11, 2016

Disclaimer: Thank you to The Little Potato Company for sponsoring this blog post! All recipes, wording and opinions are entirely my own. Bacon is one of those ingredients that immediately suggests richness and indulgence. And while I totally understand the appeal, I never have an aching for bacon. I’m just not a bacon kind of girl ...

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.

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.

Sweet and Salty Potato Salad + A Giveaway {giveaway closed}

May 21, 2016

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 ...

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 ...

Biryani Potatoes and Poached Eggs

March 20, 2016

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

February 21, 2016

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 ...

Potato Waffles and Pomegranate Molasses

December 20, 2015

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 ...

Jerk Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Cilantro Dipping Sauce + GIVEAWAY {closed}

November 18, 2015

I have a confession to make: I hate eating finger-foods. Or, I should say that I hate to eat them with my fingers. To me it is messy and unnecessary. Call me a prude, but I would rather eat fork-foods. Or would that just be called… food? For those who love finger-foods, this is the perfect entertaining staple. The slight nuttiness of the ...

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 ...
