This African Inspired Peanut Stew with Turkey is a warm and comforting meal perfect for these colder winter months. This recipe and post is sponsored by Turkey Farmers of Canada and I was compensated for my time. As always, all opinions are my own. Winter is the official soup season, if you ask me. In winter, you need…
Soups, Salads & Sandwiches
Asparagus Salade Lyonnaise
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…
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,…
Brussels Sprouts, Bacon and Kale Salad
We all have nightmarish tales of soggy Brussels Sprouts with Cheez Whiz from our childhood. We’re adults now, so stop buying those nasty frozen green nuggets and get the fresh ones instead. And then, put them in this salad, stat! Usually salads don’t do it for me. That being said, this salad is a game…
Lemon Poppyseed Vinaigrette
So, January started out pretty rocky for this girl. I was hit with the worst flu of my adult life, and it knocked me on my ass for 4 straight days. It was bad. I was so achy I couldn’t sit or lay down. If I did sleep, it wasn’t very long. I was grouchy…
Mango Curry Chicken Salad
I just had a birthday and it was a big one. It’s the kind you celebrate because it’s a milestone. The big 3-0. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll recall I bought some big-ass balloons to let the world know. I brought them to my High Tea Birthday party to spruce up the place. They put…
Healthy Creamy Greek Dressing
We did something crazy in the month of January. We stopped eating meat. Chicken, pork, beef – we gave it up cold turkey (pun intended). It was easy for Scott. He was a vegetarian before I met him. Once I became the primary chef, meat began to make an appearance. I’m terrible, I know. It was…
Berry Delicious Potato Salad
I hope summer has been treating you well! The weather here has been pretty lame, so I booked a vacation to Vegas so I could soak up some sun and enjoy the heat. Before I leave, I wanted to share this awesome summer berry potato salad with you! The potato salad I’m used to consists…
Spicy Italian Sausage Soup
I’m not too sure what the weather this winter has been like in your neck of the woods, but up here, we’ve had it rough. I’m talkin’ two weeks straight at -40 degrees Celsius (which also happens to be -40 degrees Fahrenheit). Damn you Polar Vortex. The only good thing about that temperature, is that…
Quinoa Salad
It’s about time I post a healthy recipe! Looking back on the last few months worth of posts, they’re all desserts. Time to switch things up! I’ve had a little bag of quinoa sitting in my pantry for a few months. I’ve had every intention to use it but I just keep forgetting about it….
