Roasted beets and French lentils make the perfect hearty fall salad. Earthy beets and lentils are complimented by tangy goat’s cheese, and a balsamic vinaigrette. I can’t get enough, and neither will you. This post is in collaboration with Local and Fresh. We created a promotional video together, which you can view below, along with a…

4 Tips for the Best Baked Fries
The ideal french fry is crispy on the outside, and is soft and tender on the inside. If you’re under the impression that you need to deep fry potatoes to get them crispy, think again. All you need is your oven, and these 4 tips! I would walk across glass for potatoes. They’re one of…
Shakshouka Galette
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 –…
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.

Cheesy Garlic Bread with Pine Nuts

Apple, Dijon and Havarti Flatbread
Cheese and apples are a perfect pair. There’s something about the sweet and tartness of an apple that makes me want a slice or two of cheese at the same time. I can remember back to my elementary school days, our babysitter would serve us an after school snack. The snacks varied from day to…
Lentil Larb Moo Lettuce Wraps
If you recall from one of my previous posts, we cut out meat for the entire month of January, which, truth be told, wasn’t very difficult. Actually, it was quite easy. We used plenty of pulse crops, such as chickpeas and lentils, in place of meat in most of our favourite recipes. It cut our…
Hummus Pizza with Red Pepper and Caramelized Onions
If there’s one snack that is a staple in our house, it would be hummus. We go through loads of the stuff every year. Lately, we’ve been getting more creative with it and experimenting with some fun appetizer and meal ideas. Sure, sometimes we lack gumption and just make pita chips or cut up veggies…
