Provolone Pancetta Burgers with Parmesan Herb Crisps

Parmesan, thank you for being so crazy delicious. I recently had the good fortune to hear about Sobey’s Parm Night, an evening to celebrate all things parmigiano reggiano and their 30-month aged parm, straight from the land of deliciousness (viva Italia). On a burger. A Salad. A nice baguette. Or just shamelessly eating straight from […]

Cream of Broccoli Mushroom & Old Cheddar Soup

Fall is here. Soup is on. I don’t know about y’all, but when Fall decides to show is red leafy, chilly, delicious face, all I crave is soup. And a big fat piece of crusty bread, dunking away for days. It’s soul satisfying in the very best of ways. You guys having a great week? […]

Roasted Bacon Parmesan Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts. Bacon. Parmesan cheese. Oh baby. Brussels sprouts are one of those things that seem to really alienate people. In the first corner. You folks love them, want them every time you sit down at your seasonal table, and seriously can’t get enough of those little bad boys. Roasted, raw, boiled. Whateve. In the […]

Sausage Ricotta & Broccolini Pizza

Pizza night. Do you guys have food nights at your house? Taco Tuesday, Eggs Benedict Sunday, Pizza Friday. And so on. Etc. We do. Well, we try to. Seriously. HOW GREAT IS PIZZA NIGHT!!!!! For the longest time, Friday night after work meant pizza time. Every single week, like clockwork. And somehow, about a year […]

Roasted Butternut Squash Muffins with Feta & Sage

Friends, Fall is here. Full swing. The trees are red, orange, and looking legit. Pumpkins, squash, and hoodies as far as the eye can see. And I think I love it. I mean, don’t get me wrong, summer is my jam. Absolutely. Unquestionably. My. Jam. But there’s something incredible about fall. Fall flavours are fantastic. […]

Seared Scallops with Sweet Potato Puree and Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts

Date night = Best night. For real. Life is interesting. And seems to come in waves of…interesting-ness. The last few weeks in our house have seems like a whirlwind. A whirlwind of complete awesomeness, but a whirlwind nonetheless, complete with messy hair/unmade beds/and a coffee cup or 14 needing to be picked up. Over the […]

Grilled Piri Piri Chicken Wings

What’s up friends! It’s Friday, it’s a little chilly outside, and it’s time to eat some chicken wings. I’m going to go on record for just a second – I love summer. I love everything about it. I love the beach, I love fresh seafood, I love not having to wear a winter jacket, I […]

Roast Chicken Fusilli with Garlic Cream Sauce

Monday, what’s up. Be kind to us, please. Friends! How’s your week been? Good? Good. September in our part of the world is in full swing. Trees are starting to change, the mornings are getting a little chilly, and pumpkins are rocking the market. This time of year is, in my opinion, perfect, though. Summer […]

Smoked Salmon with Parmesan Zucchini Hash Browns & Chili Mayo

Smoked Salmon. Crispy, cheesy, fried potatoes. Spicy mayo. Weekend brunch, thank you for being so awesome. What up guys! Happy Sunday! I’m currently chilling in a hotel room in Toronto, hopped up on goofballs and too much coffee (no such thing). I’ve been in the city for a couple days of meetings, lots and LOTS […]

Sticky & Sweet Labour Day Ribs

Ribs. It’s Labour Day weekend. Yeaaaah! The last big hurrah! Well, not necessarily. Sometimes, though, it can feel like it’s the last long weekend before we head back into the ‘real world’ again. In most places school is starting, summer vacations have long gone by, and we shift gears and start thinking about all those fall […]
