After finishing Whole30 at the beginning of the month, I was craving a decadent brunch dish but wanted to be mindful of my dairy intake. Much like Antoni from Queer Eye – I’m a dairy freak – but sadly, it doesn’t always agree with me. So, while this recipe isn’t entirely dairy-free, thanks to the…

It wouldn’t be right to head into Valentine’s Day without a red cocktail to be still your beating heart. In good news, you won’t have to battle it out for an overpriced prix fixe table for two this year. Plus, if you’re in a couple, you won’t be subjected to the pressure of performing romance…
Game Day Nachos
It’s the Super Bowl this Sunday, it’s hard to believe that last year’s Super Bowl was one of the last group gatherings we’d attend for more than a year. It goes without saying that watching Super Bowl LV is going to be a more intimate affair, but just because we’re foregoing the party, doesn’t mean…
Salt & Pepper Shandy
The craft non-alcoholic beer market was long overdue for a makeover by the time Partake Brewing arrived on the scene in 2017. The Toronto and Calgary-based brewery soared past its Kickstarter fundraising goal of $10,000 just three hours after launching its page to raise funds for its first product, the craft non-alcoholic IPA back in…
Thai Shrimp Curry on Cauliflower Rice
I know full well how easy it is to give ourselves over to a diet of cheesy carbs as we hibernate for winter (more so this year than most) but I’m trying to keep it fresh with meals that are both comforting and healthful. This Thai Shrimp Curry on Cauliflower Rice is just the ticket…
Coconots: Tiki Mocktail
We’re still going strong with Dry January and today I’m serving up this Tiki mocktail that I shook up on virtual happy hour on Instagram this past Friday. As more Canadians experiment with sober curiosity on an ongoing basis, we’re starting to see more non-alcoholic distilled spirits, wines, and beers come to our shores. Aside…
Zero-Proof Penicillin
I’m going to be honest friends, I’ve been pretty uninspired to blog this week. It’s January, we’re heading back to full lockdown in Ontario, and I’m struggling to maintain my resolve with Dry January and Whole30 (the latter moreso). I think I’m just feeling a bit soul-tired. Fatigued from 10 months spent largely in isolation…
First Blush: Grapefruit Mocktail
It’s Dry January – or at least it is in my household – and I’m taking the opportunity to introduce you to some of my favourite non-alcoholic distilled spirits. I’ve read articles suggesting as many as 1 in 5 Canadians will participate in Dry January this year. To that end, I returned to Breakfast Television…
Instant Pot Piri-Piri Short Ribs with Sweet Potato Fries & Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Welcome to Taste & Tipple in 2021! New year, same attitude. I’ll be continuing to serve you quality food and drink content twice weekly, maybe more often if you’re good to me. đ This year I’m doing Whole30 again but slightly modified to allow for a quarter ounce of syrup here and there in the…

I published a total of 97 posts in 2020, up one from 2018. I was delighted to formally introduce fashion content…
