I think this is what they had in mind when they coined the term “food porn.” Something about puff pastry that just makes me salivate. Just looking at it you can appreciate its crisp, flaky texture. I know you can’t always judge a book by its cover, but in this case, you can. This bite-sized…

Breakfast Burrito
Is there anything more satisfying than being able to eat breakfast with one hand? I think not. This is not your average breakfast burrito. I’ve taken the liberty of building flavour in each element to make sure this handheld breakfast really wakes up your tastebuds. It starts by putting a bit of taco seasoning in…
Caramelized Shallot Dip with Simple Crostini
This healthy-ish snack is a lighter take on a classic French onion dip. Lose the sour cream for low-fat plain greek yogurt and you’re on your way to a game day snack that will satisfy your craving for a little nosh, without the extra calories. As you may have noticed, I kind of have a…
Chickpea Taco Salad
I work downtown and despite it being the mostly densely populated part of the city during working hours, it’s a total food desert. There seem to be so few palatable options that exceed the scope of pizza, shawarma or Subway. One of the few places where I’m able to take shelter at the lunch hour…
Mediterranean Vegetable Hash with Baked Eggs and Feta
SKIP TO RECIPE This is an awesome vegetarian brunch option or meatless Monday meal. Just because a recipe features eggs, does that automatically lump it into the breakfast category? Don’t limit your imagination when it comes to this meal, it is equally delicious, regardless of the time of day. Serve with toasted sourdough to sop…
Mashed Potato Pancakes
SKIP TO RECIPE 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…
Truffle Parmesan Hasselback Potatoes
SKIP TO RECIPE Tis the season for starchy goodness. Allow me to introduce, Truffle Parmesan Hasselback Potatoes. Bring on the winter bod. These are delightful little nuggets of Yukon gold. The hasselback preparation always impresses guests as the potatoes fan open to allow for strategic flavour enhancements. In this case, garlic, truffle salt, thyme and…
Pumpkin French Toast with Pumpkin Butter
SKIP TO RECIPE 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…
Maple Roasted Sweet Potato and Brussels Sprout Salad
SKIP TO RECIPE The concept for this salad is “Thanksgiving sides – combined.” Inspired in part by my favourite Brussels sprouts side dish wherein the vegetables just serve as a flavour vector for maple syrup, whiskey and ALL the butter. I’m fairly certain that maple roasted sweet potatoes are everyone’s favourite holiday side, while the…
Warm Fig & Brie Tart with Walnut Crust
SKIP TO RECIPE While I’m still clinging to the warmth of summer, my Pinterest feed is overrun with images of pumpkin patches, fall decor and cozy knits. I’m reluctant to give up long summer days and the very faint tan I’ve developed over the past 3 months, but I am excited for suede booties and…
