  • Grilled Peach, Crispy Prosciutto, and Burrata Flatbread

    July 17, 2023 by

    I’m on a mission to find the perfect flaky crust. Something that falls between pizza and puff pastry. While I still haven’t quite captured that elusive texture, this flatbread is a step in that direction. A buttery, almost scone like pastry bottom, topped with warm grilled peaches, crispy prosciutto, creamy burrata, peppery arugula and finished… Read more

  • Copycat Earls Spin Dip

    February 24, 2023 by

    Who isn’t obsessed with Earls Spin Dip? Creamy feta taste without that strong mayo flavor of your traditional spinach dip…this isn’t your parents pumpernickel bread bowl filling (if ya know, ya know). Served with warm ciabatta crisps, it’s a delicious appy to share with friends. So imagine how excited I was when a girlfriend bought… Read more

  • Smoked Mozzarella & Tomato Bisque

    January 30, 2023 by

    I think it’s safe to say that tomato soup on a cold winter day is an iconic comfort food. This elevated version is quick and easy and oh so tasty. Serve for a light lunch with a side salad and some bread, or it makes a great soup course at dinner. Make sure you have… Read more

  • Fully Loaded Chicken Tortilla Soup

    Do you love tacos? Do you love soup? Well you are in the right place. I remember trying Earls tortilla soup back in 2012 and falling in love with it. This is my twist on Earls version, adding in some spices for depth and corn and chicken to make it a hearty meal. There isn’t… Read more

  • Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Mason Jars

    These are always a huge hit at barbecues, single serve. This recipe makes 10 250 ml Mason jars or 20 125 ml Mason jars if you want to go bite-sized! Toss the FudgeeOs into a food processor or high powered blender. Blend until almost a paste. Add in one brick of cream cheese and blend… Read more

  • Hidden Veggie Shepherds Pie

    April 20, 2021 by

    It’s spring here in Alberta but you wouldn’t know it from the weather. One day I’m barbecuing and sunbathing and the next day I’m huddling under blankets watching it snow. So sue me if I’ve been craving comfort food when every other blog is getting excited about spring dishes. Shepherds Pie is one of my… Read more

  • Blueberry Cheesecake French Toast

    September 11, 2020 by

    If I could eat fruity cream cheese danishes for every breakfast, let me tell you, I would. But we still have a wedding coming up and that much sugar makes me feel sick. So I’ve been whipping up these high protein low sugar french toasts instead. I prepare these ahead of time and then throw… Read more

  • Cheddar & Sun-dried Tomato Protein Bagels

    August 25, 2020 by

    I have a bagel obsession. I’m not kidding, if I could I would eat one at every meal.  They are so versatile.  Savory or sweet, with butter or cream cheese, as a sandwich or pizza.  I’d eat one every meal of the day if I could.  However, this was a problem when I first started… Read more

  • Sesame Chop Bowls

    August 19, 2020 by

    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… Read more

  • Balsamic Marinara Turkey Meatballs

    November 26, 2019 by

    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… Read more

  • Air Fryer Crab Cakes

    November 14, 2019 by

    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… Read more

  • Cookies & Cream Cupcakes

    November 7, 2019 by

    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… Read more

  • Chicken & Stuffing Dumpling Soup

  • Prosciutto Pesto Pizzas

    October 25, 2019 by

    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… Read more

    October 24, 2019 by

    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… Read more

  • Lighter Chicken Pot Pies

    October 23, 2019 by

    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… Read more
