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…

Copycat Earls Spin Dip
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…
24 Hour Marinated Chicken Satay Skewers with Savory Peanut Dip
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

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…
Cheddar & Sun-dried Tomato Protein Bagels
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…
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…
