Two food processor based recipes in two days! I know, right!? Simple, quick, delicious, other adjectives, etc etc etc amen. Pasta. Let’s chat a second about how wonderfully versatile pasta really is, shall we. Most cultures in the world have some form of noodle based dish that they call their own. And thankfully, along […]
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. And again. And maybe a third time. I could eat noodles every day. They’re so amazingly versatile. They’re delicious. They’re easy to make. And let’s be honest, eating with chopsticks is just fun. Some nights, you need supper on the table in under 20 minutes, you […]
I love summer food. Well, let’s be honest, I just love summer. All things summer. Food, patio hang outs, the beach, flip-flops, not wearing socks, the sun being out past 4pm, etc etc etc. And being located on the east coast of the Great White North, we have a short summer, and an even […]
I’ve lived for many years under this food rule – Simple is best. Homemade bread, margarita pizza, a perfectly ripe peach, strawberries in July, wine & cheese…not everything needs to be as complicated as we seemingly make it sometimes. In the world of simple & delicious, pub grub (cooked right) ranks high on my list. Nachos. Cheese fries. […]
Everyone has a comfort food go-to. Pizza, wings, curry, etc and forever. For this Canadian, comfort food is, and most likely forever will be, pasta. Or noodles. I could and would eat noodles in some delicious form every day, if I wasn’t scared I’d end up in a carb-induced coma. This pasta is something I […]
Growing up on the east coast, eating seafood was something of a birth right. It’s in our DNA. It’s the perfect comfort food. Crispy fries & fish, tartar sauce, a nice brew…I mean, common! Goodness. Summer, come back now. Please. And as much as I love going to seafood shacks along the beach in the […]
At my house, Sunday afternoons are for Netflix marathons, huge plates of nachos, and the comfiest of pants. And as with most Sunday’s this year, it’s snowing today. Again. Seriously, isn’t it Spring! Not in Canada friends. Not in Canada. So this Sunday, I’m rocking the world of comfort to the max with an Arrested […]
It’s National Ravioli Day. More days like this, please. Also, pizza/burger/pie/ice cream day. Bless you, too. Never leave me. I cook all the time, usually 6 or 8 dishes a day when I’m recipe testing. Some of these days I want beautifully plated, gorgeous, locally sourced dishes…and sometimes you just want comfort food x a […]
Living on the east coast of Canada, you might assume that I grew up on a diet of seafood and maple syrup. But I really didn’t get into the world of seafood, and most specifically shellfish, until I was in university. My family just really didn’t eat shellfish, and probably because of that, it kind of scared me. […]
When I was in University, I couldn’t cook. At all. Lunch for me basically consisted of overcooked macaroni with butter, salt, & pepper, garlic fingers (food icon of the Canadian Maritimes), and the grilled cheese sandwich. Honestly, it’s kind of amazing that I’m still alive after that (not to mention years of playing in a […]
