Things they said not to do in self-isolation: 1) drink wine for breakfast, 2) go LIVE on Instagram, 3) create a TikTok account. We’re in our fifth week of physical distancing and I did all three within the first two weeks. In fairness, wine for breakfast is just a mimosa – so let’s not get…

Four-Cheese Chicken, Kale & Sweet Potato Cobblers
I made this dish for my October book club meeting and it received rave reviews. You can make this in one large casserole dish or six smaller oven-safe dishes – such as a mini cocotte, ramekin, or French onion soup bowl. You could also swap the chicken for leftover turkey – if you’re still making…
Southwestern Eggs Benedict
Holy guacamole, this one’s a keeper. As you may have noticed, especially if you follow me on Instagram, brunch is the organizing principle behind my weekend schedule. If you don’t brunch at least once, was it even a weekend? Is life even worth living? I think not. When I go for brunch, I have a…
Pasta Alfredo with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Green Onion
I was recently a guest on a podcast. It was my first time “on air” since I worked as a radio journalist in Rwanda. My friend Laura Kelly launched her own podcast, You Might Not Like It in November 2018. After I listened to a few of her episodes, I knew I wanted to be…
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…
Warm Fig & Brie Tart with Walnut Crust
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 leather jackets….
Pizza Dip with Garlic Knots
So, I know last week I was all, “my body is a temple” posting that salad recipe. This week I’ve changed my tune and I’m all, “I eat my feelings.” Here we have: pizza dip with garlic knots. I’ll let you come to your own conclusions about how I’m feeling but just know that…
Layered Salmon Crumble with Gruyère Potatoes
You know what I love? Brunch. You know what I hate? Dishes. Enter: Layered Salmon Crumble with Gruyère Potatoes. Six layers of unadulterated deliciousness, only one pot. This dish delivers better ROI than bitcoin. With less than 10 minutes of prep time and 30-40 minutes in the oven, this dish will leave you with…
Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole
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 at, the…
