Using food bank staples, such as chickpeas, pasta and canned tomatoes, I’ve created a hearty and satisfying vegetarian meal. This post is in support of Purolator’s Tackle Hunger Campaign. I have been compensated for my time, all opinions are my own. At the beginning of September, I spent the afternoon at the Regina Food Bank…

Yogurt Mousse with Sweet Summer Peaches
The arrival of peaches signal the end of summer. I’m using these gorgeous, plump balls of sunshine to make a sweet compote for a luscious mousse made from Greek Yogurt. Every August, the church around the corner from our house has a Peach Festival and they truck in an enormous amount of fresh peaches from…
Nana’s Lemon Cream Cheese Tarts
Making these Lemon Cream Cheese Tarts is one of my favourite baking memories I have of my Nana. The filling is 4 simple ingredients and super easy to make. We use frozen mini tartlet shells, which make the whole process even easier! I’ve been fairly quiet around here lately (like, the last 7 months or…

Caribbean Spiced Chicken Tacos with Pineapple Salsa
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…
Kimchi Devilled Eggs
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 with Kimchi and Bacon
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…
Streuseled Zucchini Bundt Cake
With the end of summer, comes a bounty of fresh garden veggies, including zucchini. Forget about zoodles, make this cinnamon laced Streuseled Zucchini Bundt 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…
