Crepes with Maple Glazed Apples
Crepes!! PANCAKE DAY!!! Whether you call it Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day, Fat Tuesday, or something I’ve never heard of, the beautiful fact is this: any chance that you have to overindulge in maple syrup smothered, sugary, doughy goodness is the best kind of day. I grew up on a steady diet of pancakes, and spending my…

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?…

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…

Maple Buttermilk Fried Chicken
Fried Chicken. And the angels sang out. Sweet, glorious, fried chicken. Quite possibly the ultimate comfort food. So perfect. Crunchy, succulent, spicy, sweet. I could sing it’s praise forever.

Grilled Shrimp Noodle Stir-fry
Shrimp. Shrimp is new to me. Well, new(ish) in the grand scheme of things, anyway. It’s one of those foods that everyone else around me seemingly chowed on the daily, but based on my non-seafood eating childhood, shrimp was, to me, akin to that crazy food on Fear Factor. No interest, no thanks. Thankfully, a…

Baked Ravioli. Comfort food, embodied.
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…
