Breakfast for dinner is arguably the best meal concept of all-time. Skip the pancakes and french toast, and do yourself a favour, and make Mini Shakshouka Galettes. If there’s a dish that deserves to be the champion of “Breakfast for Dinner”, it would have to be Shakshouka. Eggs poached in a smoky tomato sauce hits…

Hearty Vegetarian Chili
This Hearty Vegetarian Chili is packed full of veggies, beans, and flavourful spices, making this my go-to wintertime vegetarian meal. It’s perfect for cold winter nights, or anytime you need a dose of healthy comfort food. You guys, this weather is killin’ me! -36 is dreadful, and has left me questioning my life decisions –…
Goat Cheese and Scallion Drop Biscuits
A tender, fluffy, no-nonsense drop biscuit is something everyone needs in their back pocket. But if you’re interested in a little nonsense, this recipe is for you! This recipe happened completely by accident. It all started innocently enough, with a major hankerin’ for buttermilk biscuits to go alongside my favourite vegetarian chili. I darted out…
Feta and Dill Gougères
Gougères, or cheese puffs, are the savoury cousin of cream puffs. They are light and airy, and make the perfect party snack because you can make them in advance. My version includes a lemony and creamy feta and dill filling. If I’m looking to put in minimal effort, but still impress the socks off my friends/coworkers/family, I make one of two…
Almond Morning Buns
Morning Buns are the sophisticated cousin of everyone’s favourite, Cinnamon Buns. The dough for Morning Buns is enriched with eggs and butter, slowly risen in the fridge overnight, rolled up with cinnamon, brown sugar and slivered almonds, and baked in a muffin tin for perfectly portioned rolls. What, you might ask, is a Morning Bun,…
Peppermint Mocha Shortbread Cookies
Shortbread cookies are a staple around here, especially for the Holiday’s. I’ve borrowed some flavour inspiration from one of my favourite seasonal beverages, Peppermint Mocha, and infused these cookies with espresso, chocolate, and peppermint. Show of hands, did anyone else agree to take part in a Cookie Exchange this year? I know I’m not the only one….
Warm Potato Salad with Blue Cheese and Bacon
Warm potato salad is a total game changer, and I can barely keep this one in the bowl. It’s full of bacon, a touch of blue cheese, and roasted potatoes. Sure, it’s great warm, but it’s equally fabulous cold. Are you binge-watching Stranger Things right now? Yeah, me too. I do have an odd question,…
Red Pepper and Boursin Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups
Lasagna Roll ups with roasted red peppers, Boursin cheese and a combination of creamy béchamel and hearty tomato sauce will make this a family favourite. They’re freezer-friendly, easy to make, and incredibly creamy and delicious. In a few short days, I’m heading to the airport at 3am to catch a flight to Ottawa for my…
Maple Curry Glazed Carrots
Looking to add something new to your Thanksgiving meal? Why not try a quintessentially Canadian flavour combo – maple and curry. Three years ago, I took a 16-day road trip to the East Coast. Obviously, I devoured my fair share of fresh, local seafood (oh lord, the lobster), but the thing I ate the second-most…
Classic Cheesy Corn Fritters
Classic and impeccably easy, Corn Fritters are the perfect side dish for any summertime meal. They’re crispy, cheesy, and totally delicious! I can’t even pretend that I’m not obsessed with corn right now. I legit ate a whole can of corn (by myself) for supper last night. No shame. Every once in awhile, it’s nice…
