Spice things up this Taco Tuesday, or any day of the week, with Caribbean inspired tacos. These slightly spicy and sweet chicken tacos are served with a homemade coleslaw and pineapple salsa. Tacos made quite a few appearances when I was growing up. Mom used to make tacos from time to time. She would buy…
Classic devilled eggs are always a favourite hors d’oeuvre. I simply can’t get enough! To change things up a bit, this version features the bold flavours of kimchi and gochujang. Hard boiled eggs are underrated. They’re so darn versatile, yet, they get overlooked. Eggs in general are a blank slate, and can be transformed into…
Roasted brussels sprouts are a classic side dish. This version gets a punch of flavour from fresh ginger and kimchi. I haven’t always been a lover of brussels sprouts. The one and only time I remember having them as a kid, they were boiled nuggets of mush, and served with Cheez Whiz. I’m fairly certain…
With the end of summer, comes a bounty of fresh garden veggies, including zucchini. Forget about zoodles, make this cinnamon laced zucchini cake instead. I firmly believe the best expression of a zucchini is through cake. Whether it’s a bundt, a loaf, or muffins, it’s my favourite way to use it up. I have no…

Making pretzels at home is super easy, especially when you don’t fuss with forming them into the classic pretzel shape. Pretzel bites are supremely easier, and just as soft, chewy, and crunchy as their full-sized cousins. Plus, they’re better for dipping in a spicy, Korean cheese dip. I can never pass up a pretzel, which…
Bring the taste of France to your kitchen with Asparagus Salade Lyonnaise. A warm bacon and shallot vinaigrette, crispy croutons, a perfectly poached egg, and tender, yet crisp, roasted asparagus; the perfect spin on a French classic using fresh, spring asparagus. Of all the vegetables that signify the arrival of spring, asparagus is my favourite. When…
The ideal french fry is crispy on the outside, and is soft and tender on the inside. If you’re under the impression that you need to deep fry potatoes to get them crispy, think again. All you need is your oven, and these 4 tips! I would walk across glass for potatoes. They’re one of…
