Pulses! Today is all about big love for Pulses. The United Nations General Assembly has declared 2016 the International Year of Pulses. So awesome. Little superfood heroes. So…what are Pulses, exactly? Glad you asked. Lentils, Chickpeas, Beans, & Dried Peas. Pulses are part of the legume family, the term pulse referring to the dried seeds. […]
Noodles, thank you for everything you are. Today was a snow day in my part of the Canadian East coast. Do snow days exist where you live? Basically for us that meant that our city was shut down today. No going anyway. Crazy amount of snow, blowing wind, all that good stuff. AKA – comfy pants, […]
Happy New Year everyone!!!! 2016!! Seriously, 2016. It’s almost hard to believe. 2015 seemed to completely fly by, in the best of ways. If time flies when you’re having fun, then 2015 was soaring at light speed. Such an amazing year, full of adventure, travel, SO MUCH FOOD, and crazy exciting opportunities. And I, for […]
The holidays are here. It’s official. As I write this, gazing through my office window at the Maritime snow storm blanketing my city, I am very aware that winter is here. Ol’ Saint Nick is just around the corner. For the home cook, chef, and avid eater, the holidays are an especially wonderful time. The […]
Vegetarian food. Yes, you are delicious. Over the past while I’ve had a lot of lovely folks asking for more vegetarian or vegan dishes, and I hear y’all loud and clear. Flashback time. I grew up in a family of vegetarians…well, one vegetarian, my Mom. Which in the 90’s was kind of a new and […]

Lobster & Christmas, I love you both. For some strange (and delicious) reason, lobster and Christmas just seem to be best friends for a lot of folks. Being a Maritimer, I have the good fortune of having access to the most succulent of crustaceans year round, at a fraction of the cost, and from basically […]
Sometimes, on a crazy, insane, and slightly overwhelming start to the week kinda Monday, all you need is a little comfort food hug in your life. This, my friends, this is that hug. K, I’m out. Short, sweet, and to the comforting point. Baked Comfort Food Heaven. Cheesy Marinara Baked Penne Serves 4-6 hungry people […]
Eggs, I kinda have a crush on you. It’s no secret. I’m a fan. Big time. So…here’s the scoop on DtheP and eggs. A few years ago, we were going through a kind of ‘food revolution’ in our house (thanks, Jamie Oliver). Basically, we really starting to learn about the food industry and what all […]
Whole Smoked Chicken. Ok y’all. Seriously. This might be the best chicken I’ve ever made. Or even eaten (excluding that little bit of chicken heaven I ate along the Seine in Paris a few years ago.
