I’ve been fairly quiet around here lately (like, the last 7 months or so), but for good reason. I’m pregnant! 37 weeks to be exact, with baby set to arrive end of June (or any day now according to the doctor). The first trimester was plagued with nausea, fatigue and too many food aversions to…

Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon & Dijon
I feel as though a major detox is in order. We just spent the last 10 days on vacation, touring around the South. We spent some time in Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. My favourite place was New Orleans, where I ate Beignets every day we were there. Looking back on our meals, we…
Lemon Mascarpone Tart
Help, Ive fallen and can’t get up. Not literally (although sometimes it does happens), but figuratively. I’ve fallen hard…..for this lemon tart. To be fair, it’s not just any ordinary lemon tart.

Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes
There are few things greater than breakfast, at least in my books. Especially breakfast for supper. After a long day, sometimes all you need is a plate stacked full of fluffy pancakes. And sometimes, you want to switch it up and make pancakes with a twist. Lemon and poppy seed are a perfect combination and…
