Lemon Rosemary Chicken with Fingerling Potatoes, Green Beans, & Goats Cheese

Single tray bake recipes can be a serious lifesaver. Little fuss, little muss (is that a word?), and tailor fit to feed a crowd. Perfect. These tray bake meals have been rocking their way through our kitchen over the past few weeks. Along with takeout pizza, moving boxes, & too much coffee (no such thing). […]

Fried Chicken & Waffles with Maple Garlic Dipping Sauce

Fried Chicken & Waffles, thank you. Seriously. I distinctly remember the first time that I rocked a plate of perfectly delicious fried chicken & waffles. I was in the great state of Tennessee at a roadside diner. I through caution to the wind, and life was changed. Growing up in Canada, or more specifically in […]

Sriracha Buffalo Chicken Legs

Some days are awesome. Well, to be honest, most days are pretty awesome. But today was especially great. Today, I went on the radio…. I woke up this morning, put on my best made-for-radio t-shirt, and headed in to the CBC to be the guest on Maritime Noon, a local information/call in show, to speak […]

Peanut Butter Frosted Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon Buns, thank you for being so awesome. There have been times in my life where I’ve gone through what can only be described as ‘complete food obsessions’ with the most random, and eventually delicious things. Pickles, I’m looking at you. Typically it goes something like this…”Random thing, I’m not a fan of yours, but […]

Fried Zucchini Blossoms

Take me down to Appetizer City. Summer food is in full swing friends. The peak of deliciousness right now. The market is so exciting – new and amazing food every single time I go. Seriously – the best time of the year. Fried zucchini blossoms. They’re so simple, so perfectly delicious that I’m almost glad […]

Cured Meat Lovers Pizza

You guys, pizza Monday might be my new favourite thing. Well, to be honest, it’s not really a thing…but making/writing about/eating pizza on a Monday morning can’t possibly be a bad thing. Right? Right. Two weeks ago I was lucky enough to tour around one of my favourite cities, eating like there was no tomorrow. […]

Sriracha Roasted Cauliflower

I love the summer time. I love everything about it. I love the waking up to the hot sun beaming through the bedroom window, the bird’s chirping away, and sipping morning coffee on the back patio. I love the beach.  I love fresh seafood. I love that it stays sunning late into the evening (which […]

Duck Fat Gochujang Roasted Potato Salad.

There’s just something about potato salad. Guys! I’m back! I was in the New York & Boston area for a week or so cooking and taking pictures like a madman. Amazing trip, but happy to be back cooking/photographing at home. Images and stories from our trip coming soon on this here blog. Any potluck, any […]

Miso Salmon

Road trips. It’s been awhile since I’ve properly taken a road trip. Back in the day (which was like 4 years ago, but sometimes feels like a lifetime), I road-tripped like a boss. We would hop in the car, drive 12 hours to see a band, sleep for 4 or 5 hours, and turn around […]

Spicy Steak Lettuce Wraps

The love lettuce wraps. Let me be completely honest for a minute. The first time I had lettuce wraps, I wasn’t at a small family run restaurant, ordering on a whim and experimenting like crazy. I wasn’t overseas on vacation experiencing a new and exciting dish for the first time. And I wasn’t in my […]
