Mashed Potato Pancakes
With American Thanksgiving this week, I wanted to give our neighbours to the south a little inspiration for what to do with all those leftovers. They’ll need to fuel up for Black Friday door-crashers. These Mashed Potato Pancakes are the absolute best way to repurpose those leftover mashed potatoes. That is, if you have…
Pumpkin French Toast with Pumpkin Butter
If you’re wondering why there is just so much damn pumpkin content on the blog lately, I’ll tell you. First, pumpkin is delicious and its October so you should be craving this seasonal delight at every meal. Second, very few recipes call for an entire can of pumpkin purée, which means you have a…
Kentucky Toddy
Is there anything more satisfying than a nice hot cup of apple cider on a cool autumn day? Yes. Hot apple cider WITH bourbon. #lifehack Bourbon, like butter, makes everything better. Spice makes it extra nice. Cinnamon, ginger, and a squeeze of lemon make this drink a new fall favourite. I’m a sucker for…
Herbed Mushroom Parmesan Crostini
Here are the things that make me feel old: Outdoor concerts – standing for that length of time make my lower back scream, it’s too loud and I really feel that there should be more seating. Sexy selfies – this is not my strong suit. Yes, you’ll often find me hovering over my dish…
Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifles

I have a pretty small family, just myself, my parents and two half-brothers. My brothers live…
Carrot and Peanut Hummus with Pita Chips
I’m positively obsessed with mid-century modern (MCM) everything. I think we have Mad Men to thank for the revival of this modern design aesthetic in furniture, fashion and design in recent years. Nearly all of my housewares, from couches to artwork, has a serious MCM persuasion. It’s no surprise then that when I’m sourcing…
Balsamic Peach & Pesto Pizza
Fresh peaches have started showing up at local farmer’s markets and grocery stores and I could NOT be more excited. Peaches are one of my favourite fruits, raspberries are their only real competition. Putting fruit on a pizza always kind of reminds me of the dessert pizzas that I used to fill my plate…
Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa
Taco Tuesday! I love fish tacos. Our city definitely has some great examples of this dish. There is something to be said for the tempura-battered, deep-fried version, but sometimes you just want a lighter alternative. This recipe serves up your grilled – with a simple marinade of lime juice, olive oil and salt and…
