Ever since we went on our trip to Thailand, I have been craving flavors that remind me of our travels. These satay skewers turned out delicious with just a touch of heat that even I could handle. But, and this is important, do not, I repeat, do not rush the marinade process. The full 24…

Smoked Mozzarella & Tomato Bisque
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…
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…
Hidden Veggie Shepherds Pie
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…
Blueberry Cheesecake French Toast
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…
Sesame Chop Bowls
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…
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. This soup is one of my favorites during this time because it’s warm and hearty and tastes like stuffing,…
Prosciutto Pesto Pizzas
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…
