It is very rewarding to make a perfect and gorgeous roasted chicken. You almost don’t want to cut into it because it looks so perfect! But when you do…yum!

Yum Roasted Potatoes
I love a good roasted potato recipe. This next recipe is quite easy and of course tasty. It makes a perfect side dish…or a main course should you choose to eat just a bowl of potatoes as I did.
Clean out your fridge Stir-Fry with Crispy Noodles
As my fridge starts clearing out and it is probably a day past when I should have gone grocery shopping I start getting creative how to use up the bits of food which remain. I hate throwing food away. This particular day I made use of the bits left in my produce drawer: half an onion, part ofRead more
Crave worthy roasted crab
Sadly, this next post I only have one photo. I make and come up with a lot of recipes during the course of the week. Many of which even though they are good I only make one time. It is the great recipes which I choose to blog about and make again. I was expecting this next recipeRead more
Indian Spiced Potato Cakes
I love potatoes. I could eat potatoes for every meal. There are so many things you can do with them. I would start listing idas off but I think it would start to sound like Bubba from Forest Gump. When I opened up my next cookbook on my shelf I was excited to see I’d beRead more
Duck Confit – Easier than you would think!
Confit means to cook meat in it’s own fat. The meat is seasoned and then cooked in fat at a low temperature. Then it can be preserved in that fat for a long period of time. Confiting is very easy to do, it takes very little hands on time and produces a very delicious cookedRead more
Gremolata Stuffed Pork Chop
I am recently re-discovering pork chops. I never really cared for them growing up. But now as an adult I am finding them tastier than I remember them ever being. So I decided to try out stuffing a pork chop with gremolata – a parsley and lemon condiment. The results were VERY tasty!
Roasted Vegetable Soup
Winter is the worst. Right around now every year (mid-January) the frigid weather starts to feel like it’s dragging on and on. Cabin fever starts to set in. It gets dark out so early that leaving the house past 6 is a struggle. Warm comforting foods are all I want to eat. This next recipe,Read more
Break up Winter
When the weather starts to get colder I typically find I want to eat warming comfort foods. But as winter drags on and on I am tired of those foods and want to break it up with something bright and fresh. I decided to throw together a simple yet satisfying ceviche to break up theRead more
Garlicky Pasta
I love pasta! But I am really not into tomatoes, so I am always on the quest to come up with new pasta sauces which do not include tomatoes in the sauce. The other night I created a delicious sauce updating a typical aglio e olio (garlic and olive oil) to include some baby kale.
Grilled Zucchini and Salmon with Kale Pesto
As the weather is turning colder I find myself wanting to use my grill a few more times before it requires putting on boots and a coat to do some grilling. I picked up some salmon, which happened to be on sale and put together a delicious dinner!
Yikes it’s been a while…
Yikes it has been a while since my last post. Let’s not do that again! I guess I haven’t spent that much time cooking and coming up with recipes that seem good enough to share. But I did put together a tasty salad which I think it worthy of sharing, so back to blogging!
Easy Blackened Tilapia
Tilapia is not a fish I normally buy. I know people who really like tilapia but I am not one of them. To be quite honest I think it tastes like dirt. But in the quest to broaden my cooking abilities and learn something new I decided to try making a blackened tilapia, and surprisinglyRead more
Grilled Tuna with Avocado Salsa
I love a really good piece of tuna. It tastes so fresh and delicious. And one of the best parts of making tuna is all you need to is sear it, so its cooked in minutes! Makes for a really fast dinner!
Fun and Easy Party App
I really like it when I can showcase local ingredients and support local small businesses in my cooking. Southwestern Ontario has a lot to offer when it comes to local ingredients. A few blocks from my house is Robbie’s Gourmet Sausage Co. in Walkerville, a national award winning sausage company which makes creative and innovative sausagesRead more
Satay with Peanut Curry Sauce
a couple weekends ago Matt and I spent in Montreal, one of my favourite cities to escape to, in summer and EVEN in the winter! While there we went to Atwater Market, a great market btw, and snacked on some chicken satay from the Satay Brothers vendor in the market. They were so tasty IRead more
