I made this recipe a little while ago on one of those “use what you’ve got” nights. I had a bunch of kale that needed to be used up, frozen spicy Italian sausages, leftover whipping cream, and a jar of sun-dried tomatoes hanging around.

My daughter was craving pasta but had no interest in a red sau...

Every now and then, I realize I’ve let the spinach situation get out of hand, you know, that moment where it’s either cook it or watch it wilt into nothing. And since my house had already put in a firm request for no more soup, I needed to think of something else to make for dinner. 

I knew I had c...

I was looking to make something different for dinner. I had a handful of cherry tomatoes to use up from my garden, even this late in October! I didn’t feel like fussing too much, so I decided to throw together a crustless quiche. A few eggs, some peppers, red onion, and feta, and dinner was in the o...

After the holidays, I always seem to have quite a bit of leftover turkey and ham, even after making soup! I usually make it into something else by day two of leftovers, when you're looking for something different. This is the perfect way to use them up. 

It's simple, satisfying, and tastes even bet...

I’ve been leaning into comfort food lately. Last week, I shared my Spiced Beef and Veggie Muffins, and this week, I’ve got another cozy recipe for you: Cottage Pie.

Technically, if it’s made with beef, it’s called cottage pie, and shepherd’s pie is when you use lamb. Either way, it’s one of those h...

I love recipes that work for just about anything, and these beef & veggie muffins are one of them. They’re simple to make, packed with protein and veggies, and you can use them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Warm one up in the morning, pair with a salad at lunch, or add some sides for a quick din...

An easy weeknight dinner with bold flavours, fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of comfort.

Most of the time, I grill zucchini, but every so often, I like to stuff them and bake until the tops are bubbling and golden.

This version leans into Mexican flavours with seasoned meat, black bea...

I’ve always loved a good pasta salad. It’s the kind of dish that works for everything: quick lunches, potlucks, or an easy side at dinner. And then there’s Greek salad: crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, briny olives, and that salty feta that ties it all together.

So I thought… why not bring the two ...

When summer hits full swing, there are two things I keep picking up on repeat: fresh corn and Ontario peaches. Peaches are one of my favourite fruits, sweet, juicy, and only around for a short window, so I make the most of them while they're here.

I'll eat them straight from the basket, slice them ...

Some recipes just stick with you. This one was shared with me by my sister-in-law; it originally came from her friend Shauna, who always seems to know how to make simple food taste amazing. Her Salsa Chicken Pasta has become an instant hit in our house, especially with my daughter, who requests it o...

I first came across a version of this recipe on the Laughing Spatula website. I've made a few changes; this version is how I prefer it. It's gluten-free, full of flavour, and comes together quickly, and has become one of the most requested recipes in my family.  

This batch yields 12 burgers, which...
