Turkey Taco Empanadas bridge two things kids love – tacos and finger food. This Family Day long weekend get the kids in the kitchen and make a batch together.

This super quick and easy snap pea recipe is the perfect addition for any meal.

Turkey, Apple and Brie Snack Skewers
Delicious deli turkey, crisp gala apples and creamy brie make for an indulgent, gourmet snack. They’re what’s keeping my midday hunger pains at bay and preventing me from noshing on junk all day.

Ginger and Sesame Turkey Sliders
This recipe and post are sponsored by Turkey Farmers of Canada and I was compensated for my time. As always, all opinions are my own.

Capicolla con Papas in Crispy Tortilla Cups

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…
Pretzel Bites with Korean Cheese Dip
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…
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…
