Sides
Roasted Togarashi Potatoes
Roasted potatoes make for an easy and delicious side-dish. This recipe for Roasted Togarashi Potatoes takes it to a whole new level. They’re both crispy and creamy, and topped with spicy Togarashi seasoning, sriracha, green onions and Kewpie mayo! One of my new favourite restaurants in down is a Korean and Japanese ramen restaurant called…
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Lemon Tahini Sauce
These perfectly roasted Brussels sprouts with lemon tahini sauce are crisp and caramelized and topped with pumpkin seeds and feta cheese. They make the perfect side dish. Soggy, overcooked Brussels sprouts are the bane of my existence. How can anyone find them enjoyable like that? Don’t even get me started on frozen Brussels sprouts! Bleh….
Sweet and Spicy Snap Peas
This super quick and easy Sweet and Spicy Sugar Snap Pea recipe is the perfect addition for any meal. The snap peas are blanched and sauced in just under 5 minutes – perfect for a weeknight meal, snack, or holiday side-dish.

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…
Cheesy Garlic Bread with Pine Nuts
So, listen. Cheese is basically my best friend, nay, my soul mate. I’ve never met a cheese I didn’t like – even the stinkiest of blue’s appeal to my palate. I’ve been know to make a cheese plate for dinner, sans the accoutrements (re: just cheese on a plate with nothing to go with it). While yes,…
