Traditional Mashed Potato Salad
Traditional Mashed Potato Salad I'm really inspired by all things salad and BBQ lately since our summer is actually starting to feel like summer. It's not just that though. I love learning traditional North American foods that my friends grew up with all around me. I say this because my parents were born and raised in Europe so my food ...
Jalapeño Marinated Grilled Chicken
Jalapeño Marinated Grilled Chicken It's officially summer!!!! That means BBQ! I had the most beautiful bone-in chicken breasts and a couple of fresh jalapeño peppers too. Yup... You guessed it; marinade!!! The key is to not over-marinate the chicken (an hour to 4 hours max, otherwise the meat will break down too much). Now this ...
Marinated Flank Steak
Marinated Flank Steak This winter sucked and now we have snow on Easter weekend? What is going on? We had a brief reprieve of the cold last week and my family capitalized on it and barbequed, without a parka! I’m not one to advocate writing off red meat, there are tons of vitamins and huge protein; I just advocate portion control which is key to a ...
Corn and Tomato Salad with Lime Vinaigrette
Corn and Tomato Salad with Lime Vinaigrette This salad tastes like summer in a bowl but really this could be made in the dead of winter. This salad can be made ahead or prepared in a pinch. What I really like here is the balance of textures and flavours. This dish would be great to serve at your next barbeque. ...
Lemon/Soy Flank Steak
Lemon/Soy Flank Steak I officially love flank steak! This is another yummy marinade for you; it’s lemony (yum!) and has a hint of Asian flare (double yum!). Flanks steak used to be considered a cheap cut of meat but then all of a sudden people clued in to how great it is and now it’s expensive, so unfair!!! Originally posted on May 04, ...
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 ...
Teriyaki Burger
Teriyaki Burger Omg, when I say teriyaki burger, I mean teriyaki burger; not a burger topped with teriyaki sauce but the meat tastes like teriyaki! This is soooo good, you have to try it! ...
Creamy Potato Salad with Fresh Herbs and Grainy Dijon Mustard
Creamy Potato Salad with Fresh Herbs and Grainy Dijon Mustard I don’t know about you but I am so over this winter. I decided I was going to rebel against it so I bought tons of fresh herbs and lemon to make a summer inspired dinner. I made this potato salad, served it with my Lemon-Garlic Marinated Grilled Chicken and steamed asparagus. This ...
My Guide to the Ultimate Grilled Pork Chop

Avocado and Tomato Salad with Corn
Avocado and Tomato Salad with Corn Last week it felt like spring had finally sprung 🌷🌷🌷 Again, I pounced on the BBQ!!! To be honest though, I get more excited about the sides then I do the protein. AND.... What screams spring/summer heat 🌞🌞🌞 like avocado? Nothing, that's what! I'm totally bummed right now though because ...
My Mother’s Supreme Potato Salad
My Mother’s Supreme Potato Salad All hail! My mother IS the queen of potato salads and this is one she made for us last week. You get crunch from the radish, bursts of sweetness from the corn and a delicate sweetness and creaminess from the cooked shallots. Not to mention, it’s low fat! I think I may have been her inspiration for that! Serves 6 ...
