Here it is: the annual round-up of your favourite recipes, as indicated by page views. As always, I’ve weighted the results to present you with the top five tipples and top five tastes, respectively. I published a total of 70 posts in 2021, fewer than in years past but I did have the pleasure of…

Greek Eggs with Crispy Potatoes
I just realized that when it comes to food recipes I seem to post more brunch dishes than anything else. That’s probably because it’s my favourite meal. You get a saucy, savoury dish like these Greek Eggs with Crispy Potatoes or a toothsome sweet plate like my Pumpkin French Toast, or a combination of the…
Key Lime Pie Dutch Baby
What’s your favourite kind of pie? In adulthood, I’ve found this is a relatively contentious question. People have strongly held beliefs on the topic of pie. I feel that any cream based pie like coconut cream, key lime, banana, chocolate, have to be considered in their own category. Fruit filling vs. custard/cream filling are very…
Beet-Cured Salmon Brunch Board
As the weather starts to turn to Spring (we’re expecting highs of 8 degrees Celsius here in Ottawa this week!), I’ve been reminiscing about the golden days of yesteryear wiling away weekends gallivanting from restaurant to restaurant chasing perfectly poached eggs and lemony hollandaise with bottomless mimosas. Since it seems we’re likely a few months…
Boss Lady Cocktail
The Boss Lady Cocktail is for professional drinkers only. For those of us who know how to fully take advantage of bottomless mimosas at brunch. Don’t tell me there is a limit to “bottomless” – there is no limit. Speaking of mimosas, the Boss Lady cocktail would be a serious upgrade to your brunch drinking….
Raspberry Coconut Croissant French Toast with Honey Chamomile Syrup
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…
PB&J Oatmeal
I’m not usually much of a weekday breakfast person. You might catch me grabbing a lemon blueberry croissant from my favourite bakery or picking up a dirty Chai tea latte on the way to work if I’m looking for a treat, but making something at home before heading out the door? Highly unlikely. Now that…
Elvis French Toast
Since all of us non-essential workers have begun working from home indefinitely it’s like a fun game of “What day is it anyway?” One day slowly bleeds into the next without any discernible beginning or end. There are two obvious upsides to losing your place on the space-time continuum. First, any hour can be happy…
Bacon and Egg Sweet Potato Boats
I don’t think I’ve ever eaten more eggs in a month as I have during this Whole30 challenge. When grains and dairy are off the table – there’s not much else on offer for breakfast. No granola, cereal, oatmeal, toast, yogurt, and even smoothies are discouraged, even if they meet the Whole30 criteria. In search…
Top 10 Recipes of 2019
As I look back on the year in the blog, there are some things I’m proud of and others that I look forward to improving upon in 2020. First, I published 96 new posts in the past 365 days, which is down from 2018 but I’m planning to improve on my consistency in the new…
