I realized it’s been a hot second since I posted a salad recipe and with the warmer weather comes an inclination towards lighter, leafy meals. This blueberry broccoli salad with homemade ranch dressing is just the ticket. To be completely honest, I often don’t like ranch. Cool Ranch Doritos are my least favourite flavour and…

Strawberry Basil Crostini
I put out a poll on Instagram stories over the weekend to let you, my audience, determine what I would make for the blog this week. I gave four options, main, salad, snack, or brunch. Well the people have spoken and “snack” eked out “salad” for the people’s choice award this week. Your wish is…

Butternut Squash, Kale and Goat Cheese Phyllo Pie
Is it just me, or does phyllo make everything better? The crunchy, paper-thin pastry elevates even the humblest of ingredients to haute cuisine. This one-pot wonder is no exception. This dish couldn’t be simpler and doesn’t require any special culinary talent aside from some basic knife skills. I served this for dinner for a…
