Sometimes I share recipes that aren’t necessarily “recipes” but are simply random bowl meals I create from ingredients in my kitchen. These bowl meals have allowed me to discover so many wonderful flavour combinations. I hope they can inspire you. My favourite is this Cottage Cheese Crab Bowl. It’s fresh and light for the early summer heat, yet full enough […]
These days, who doesn’t need a little comfort food? Yes, I do. I had leftover russet potatoes and knew what to do with them. Perfect for dipping or dunking. These delicious potato wedges are easy to make in the oven. …Or main dish, if you’re like me. What are Steak Fries? Steak fries are thick potato wedges. They are usually […]
This week, I made amazing steak fries. I also needed an equally delicious dipping sauce. So I created Comeback Sauce. Comeback Sauce is a sweet, creamy, tangy, sweet and savoury sauce that can be used to dip, drizzle, drizzle, or smear on almost any food. It’s not a “comeback sauce” name. It will keep your coming back for more. More. There are more. […]
This Spinach Artichoke Grilled cheese is decadent. This is like a restaurant appetizer that you turn into a meal. I modified a basic spinach dip recipe to make it more like a melty grilled chicken dip than a creamy dip. Then, I stuffed it between two pieces of homemade focaccia. It is a crispy, golden brown, melty, and gooey delight. Is this a […]
It sounds so simple, but pizza is my favourite food. There are endless options, and it usually contains my favourite ingredients: bread, tomatoes and cheese.

Then the demand and supply got out of control, and cauliflower suddenly cost more than $5 per head. ? It’s great to see that there is more supply than demand and that I can now buy cauliflower at a reasonable […]
Here’s a quickie to help you get through this weekend. It’s always a challenge to find ways to make the most of fresh spinach. Scrambled eggs with Spinach and Feta are one of my favourite ways to use it up. It’s quick (like, fast enough for a weekday), delicious, and makes me feel pampered. You’ll also find many different ways to […]
It was supposed that this would be a baked ziti. But, it turned out that ziti is almost impossible to find at grocery stores, so I made a Roasted Vegetable Baked Pene instead. Sometimes, you have to accept it. It’s loaded with colourful vegetables, a homemade red sauce, and layers of cheese. Although this recipe makes a lot of pasta, the leftovers […]
Steamed green beans are one of my favourite side dishes. Why? They’re so quick, easy to make, delicious, and can be paired with many different main dishes. These are a great side dish that’s a no-brainer. I beg you if you have only ever tried steaming green beans. They are completely different animals. They are a deliciously fresh beast. Let me […]
