What pavlova dreams are made of. Who am I kidding, I dream of all foods equally 😉 ⁣

But seriously, I talked about this before and I’m telling you if you make one dessert make this! It only takes a few ingredients and the whole point is it looks imperfect. I promise you’ll impress your family and friends when you make this one….and might I say the perfect Easter dessert. Top it with whatever frui...

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Rather than drinking green beer to celebrate let's eat some good food!

This recipe is easy to make for Sunday dinner and it's a perfect example where you can have the plants shine and use the meat as an enhancement. The star in this dish is definitely the mushrooms. I use an assortment of what I picked up at the Farmers Market and it's worth it to get a mix so you get a f...

Spring is here! Well almost anyways. I’m so excited to hear the birds chirping in the mornings, longer days and don’t even get me started on all the fresh produce that’s coming to the Farmer’s Market. And because the change of season is always a good time to de clutter and reset in the kitchen I thought it’d be fun to talk about pantry staples for Spring. If you’ve been here for a while you know h...

It's been a Mac & Cheese kind of month. Lots of snow and chilly temperatures means something warm and comforting ⁣⁣

You know my philosophy - homemade always tastes better than the boxed version (plus it’s instantly better for you) and it really doesn’t take any longer, I promise!

The best part is you can adjust it to your own taste. A few easy tricks I use to make the most flavourful sauce is re...

Cooking Can Change the World.

I know this is a bold statement, but I believe it to be true right down to pinky toes. 

If you’ve been around here for a while you know that I am super passionate about teaching people the power of good food and if I’m honest when I started my business a lot of it was about giving people meal plans and all kinds of structure on how to eat better. Here’s what I...

Is one of your intentions for the New Year to get in the kitchen but you feel like you can't even boil an egg? And the few times you try you find you fall back to your go to frozen meals, pasta or the Chinese take out on speed dial? 

Finding the motivation can be tough, I get it. This from a girl that in a past life lived on Ramen noodles and plain cardboard style chicken breasts, I know how hard...

Tacos get all the attention these days. And believe me I could eat tacos everyday but if you're looking for a different option, one that you can make ahead and serve a crowd without a ton of effort, enchiladas are the way to go.

These are perfect for an impromptu dinner party. Make them the day before, and just pop them in the oven on the day of, add a salad and you're good to go! It's also a gre...

Thai flavours are one of my favourite things to make. It's the perfect mix of sour, sweet, salt and spice. It's the perfect thing to warm you up on a cold day - high vibe food as I like to say. 

And even better when it's super simple to make! 

You can have this soup put together in no time and even easier if you throw it in the crockpot (see the notes at the bottom). 

This soup is always a hit,...

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving this past weekend if you're here in Canada.

With that comes the age old question, what to do with the leftovers? There's so many options, I myself love a good pot pie! This recipe is a little time consuming yes but totally worth it. Especially if you make individual pies which I've noted at the bottom. This way you can freeze them and pull out whenever you don'...
