Hi friends! I am back from my sabbatical and ready to share all the things I have been making during this time. But first, something that has been on my mind for the past few months. By now we have all seen at least one meme “jokingly” telling food bloggers to stop sharing their life…

Balsamic Marinara Turkey Meatballs
I’m still here! Let me tell you guys, planning a wedding is not easy peasy. Lots of late night research, emails and decisions to be made, and of course most of this was done over a thrown together dinner or pre-prepared meal. However tonight I was actually able to take a break and get into…
Air Fryer Crab Cakes
Seafood, you either love it or hate it. I personally cannot get enough of it. One of my absolute favorites is crab. Call me crazy, but for some reason I have just been caving crab cakes these last few days, so I whipped up some of these. They are a staple for me in many…
Cookies & Cream Cupcakes
How’s everyone adjusting to daylight saving? I know I have been wiped. I’m not sure how it is where you are, but winter has settled in and settled in hard. Snow and -17C yesterday in lovely Edmonton, Alberta; but hey at least it’s sunny right? To be honest I enjoy this time of year. It’s…
Chicken & Stuffing Dumpling Soup
Halloween is over and it’s officially that cold and dreary time between holidays. I know some of you love to jump forward into the next holiday, but I enjoy taking some time to recharge and relax.

It’s Friyay! For some reason, this week has felt SO long. I’m looking forward to a cozy weekend at home, putting up the Halloween decorations and carving some Jack-O-Lanterns. I obviously cannot take credit for inventing three ingredient dough, it has been floating around the internet for a long time. I can take credit for…
Smoky Turkey Chili
This recipe is one of my absolute favorites for winter meal prep. Don’t be intimidated by the longer ingredient list. You essentially throw everything in a pot, cook it for an hour, and voila, delicious hearty meals for the week. Easy, minimal clean up, and a full tummy. My parents always snuck lots of beans…
Lighter Chicken Pot Pies
Winter is coming to Alberta, and I am surprised it has held off this long! It has been a beautiful fall. However with the shorter, darker, colder days I always find myself craving comfort food. Given that both my fiancé and I try to live a healthier lifestyle, one of the major things I have…
The Best Ever Skor Cookies
Okay, so first I am not kidding when I say that these are the most popular thing I make. These cookies are the perfect mix of crunchy outside and soft gooey inside. Every time I make them, I see people lose all self restraint. Second, this recipe makes like 48 cookies guys. I promise they…
