Teriyaki Peppers I love recipes like this because it's easy, fast, delicious, healthy and beautiful to look at. The colours of the peppers on a clean white plate actually look like art; they taste amazing too! Originally posted on 03 November, 2015! Other Recipes You Might Like: Vegetable Teriyaki Chow ...

Loaded Smashed Potatoes
Loaded Smashed Potatoes I fell in-love with my Garlic Smashed Potatoes, I needed more. What to do, what to do? Add bacon of course! You don't need a lot of bacon to get its delicious flavour. This recipe is everything amazing about a potato skin only smashed 😊 Originally posted on 08 November, 2016 A recipe for loaded smashed ...
Pesto Sauce
Pesto Sauce So this recipe was difficult for me to write because so much of it is to taste. Below you will find a basic pesto recipe that I use on pasta, pizza, sandwiches, gnocchi, chicken, you name it! I actually made this the other day and wow did my kitchen smell like summer. This is a good amount of sauce for any of the recipes that are ...
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Roasted Brussels Sprouts This recipe is about the Brussels Sprouts, the simplicity lets the flavour shine. By roasting the Brussels Sprouts the natural sugars caramelize and you’re left with slightly charred veggies that have the most incredible nutty flavour. SaveSave ...
Basil Chimichurri
Basil Chimichurri Summer is slowly coming to an end and a great way to celebrate the fact that it’s still here is to enjoy the abundance of fresh herbs in the garden and to barbeque a delicious steak (and yes, we barbeque in the snow and fresh herbs are available all year round but there’s something magical about this time of year!), this dish is ...
Tomato (a.k.a. Marinara) Sauce
Tomato (a.k.a. Marinara) Sauce This is my version of a classic base tomato sauce; a.k.a. marinara. I use this as a base for tons of recipes but it stands just fine on its own. ...
Corn Chowder
Corn Chowder I must admit this is really good! Any time you are going to make a soup with corn, add in the cobs; you get a ton of flavour from doing that. This is a hearty stick-to-your-ribs chowder that still has butter and cream but a marginal amount. So while this tastes rich and heavy, you’re not going to feel weighed down after eating ...
Danish Cucumber Salad
Danish Cucumber Salad The first time I had this salad was when I was younger, my mother’s Danish friend made this and I loved it! I hope this recipe makes her proud! ...
Broccoli Salad
Broccoli Salad Growing up in a European household I was never really exposed to typical Canadian or American food so when Mike’s mom made her Broccoli Salad I didn’t what to expect but it was AMAZING!!! I loved it! I immediately got the recipe and I made it and it was AMAZING!!! The only problem? A lot of sugar and full fat mayonnaise :( With her ...
Potato Skins
Potato Skins This is another recipe shared years ago that I still prepare on the regular :) Mike’s stepdad came to visit over the Christmas holidays and he made the most incredible potato skins; I haven’t been able to stop thinking about them! Here is my (healthy) version of potato skins but truth be told, Mike’s stepdad’s were healthy ...
Greek-ish Salad
Greek-ish Salad I made this for dinner tonight and thought I'd re-share! Is re-share a word!?! I love this salad! I’m pretty sure traditional Greek Salad doesn’t come with lettuce and that is why I am calling this “Greek-ish Salad”. As I’m sitting here writing this, I keep hearing Bart Simpson’s voice, “you don’t make friends with ...
Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
Homemade Teriyaki Sauce I’ve mentioned that my father is Italian and my mother is Swedish so growing up most (if not all) of our food was European (98% Italian!) so Japanese was something that my sister and I introduced to our parents through the take-out menu. I absolutely love teriyaki sauce but had no idea how to make it. Slowly through my blog ...
