Cheesy Bacon and Corn Waffles with Eggs and Avocado
SKIP TO RECIPE The choice between savoury and sweet is the eternal brunch dilemma. I love these waffles because they strike the perfect chord between savoury and sweet. You don’t have to forfeit your delicious, salty bacon in service of waffles this time, you just combine the two. Peaches and cream corn takes on a…
Banana Waffles with Brown Sugar Syrup
SKIP TO RECIPE I promise I don’t work for the banana lobby. You may have noticed that I’m pushing the banana agenda pretty hard. See #3 from the Top 10 Tastes in Ottawa post for a fulsome explanation. In this brunch dish, bananas work hand-in-hand with poppyseeds to take waffles from “ho-hum breakfast cake” to…
Coconut Overnight Oats with Berry Jam
SKIP TO RECIPE They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it’s not one I eat at home. I’m always in a rush after trying on four different outfits, trying to achieve the perfect cat-eye and fighting with my hair-dryer that sounds like it ate something and is still trying to…

Halloumi Eggs Benedict
SKIP TO RECIPE Have you guys discovered halloumi yet? For the uninitiated, halloumi is a semi-hard, unripened, brined cheese made from a mixture of sheep’s and goat’s milk – or sometimes cow. It’s often used in Middle Eastern cooking. You’ll often find halloumi grilled or fried because it’s higher-than-normal melting point prevents it from turning…
Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole
SKIP TO RECIPE I’m sending this one out to my friend Mary Anne. Her Pinterest feed is comprised almost exclusively of recipes that involve cheese and/or jalapeños. She is a lover of tacos and was the #1 fan of the Potaco (potato taco, it’s all in the name) formerly on offer during the brunch service…
Tropical Green Smoothie
SKIP TO RECIPE If you’ve been following this blog, you might have noticed that I have a penchant for indulgence. I try to achieve balance by getting my greens in smoothie form. My parents generously gave me a Vitamix for Christmas a couple of years ago and I’ve never looked back. My go-to smoothie is…
Bananas Foster French Toast
SKIP TO RECIPE I’m going to be real with you. The life of a rookie food blogger is not as romantic as you might imagine. Unfortunately, I don’t spend my life flitting from one great meal to the next. I do love to cook (obviously) and almost always find it restorative once I break out…
