Ever since I shifted to a morning workout person, I've kind of leaned into protein packed toasties as fuel. They're so easy to make, so customizable depending on what's in your fridge / pantry, and honestly, everything is just better on a gorgeous piece of sourdough bread.

I cooked up some aromatics before adding in some fresh green kale and continuing to cook until vibrant and softened. Then, 3 eggs whisked together with the basics; salt, pepper, and pepper flakes, added and cooked to your preferred scram texture. I am definitely a stiffer scram kind of guy. Runny eggs give me the creeps lol

Piled on crispy sourdough and topped with funky old cheddar. Finished under the broiler and topped with salty, tangy feta & zippy fresh dill. So easy, so delish, and available under the RECIPES page.

You guys! I was so excited to see that beyond Meat sold a 2 pack of 1 pound plant-based beefs. I've always thought it was odd that they sold a 340g package when most recipes would call for a pound, so this was amazing to me!

I was really in the mood for some dumpy sloppy joes, so that's what's on the menu y'all. I made a sloppy joe mix that consisted of veggies, beef, spices, condiments, and did I mention heat? Once that came together, I grilled some buns and got them on a baking sheet. I piled on the mix, topped with cheddar and jalapenos, and broiled until melty and fab.

Such a nostalgic meal for me. I used to love these growing up and love that they're still accessible. Get messy over at the RECIPES page.

This ended up coming together quite nicely for kind of coming out of nowhere. I had decided I was going to make my chickpea salad for work lunches, but then remembered I had some taters I needed to use up and decided to mash the ideas together.

I baked off the potatoes until fluffy inside and scooped the flesh out. Then, I returned the skins to the oven to let them get nice and tater chip crispy. I had whipped up a batch of my creamy chickpea salad and had it in the fridge setting up while the taters baked off. 

Assembly was quick in order to keep those skins crisp. I stuffed my skins with the salad and topped them off with diced red onions and some fresh dill. The creamy salad against the crisp & hot tater skin was so yummy. Now get on over to the RECIPES page and make these ASAP. <3

I don't think there's a cozier, more satisfying side than scalloped potatoes. Bubbly, rich, gorgeously golden, and cheesy deliciousness. They're the kind of stick to your ribs goodness that's perfect as a cozy winter side to your main.

I made a creamy sauce that simmered with onion and garlic until thick and rich, and then I folded in creamy Boursin cheese. Then, I folded in sauteed kale, shallots, and thinly sliced potatoes until everything was coated. Into a baking dish, covered, and baked for over an hour. Then, uncovered, topped with funky aged Scottish cheddar, and finished until bubbly and golden.

One scoop and you're in total delight. So cozy, so cheesy, and so wonderfully delish. Loosen up the drawstrings on your cozy pants and get on over to the RECIPES page.

I've made enchiladas a million times, and it was only when I had them authentically in Mexico that I realized mine probably lean more towards a Tex-Mex style lol Either way, they're loaded and so freaking delish and easy to make.

I made a filling that consisted of cooked brown rice, tomatoes, cauliflower crumble, seasonings, and cheese to hold everything together. I stuffed, rolled, and sliced my enchiladas in half, nestling them in a baking dish coated in enchilada sauce. Then, I poured the remaining sauce over them along with tons of cheese, black beans, and jalapenos, and baked them until bubbly and gorgeous.

I garnish mine with everything but the kitchen sink lol I like them nice and loaded! Head to the RECIPES page.

Meatless Monday vibes right here y'all with my new Broccoli Cheddar Meatloaf. What can't we give the broc ched treatment, am I right? This one came to me and I had to run with it.

I cooked some shallot, garlic, celery, tomato paste, and broccoli florets until tender. Then, added everything to a mixing bowl and worked it together until combined. I used a combo of plant-based beef and plant-based sausage for extra flavour which was fabulous. Once combined, I transferred it to a loaf pan and baked until firm but moist inside.

I topped it off with marble cheddar and finished until melty. The loaf had such a great flavour and was nice and moist thanks to soaked sourdough and those tender veggies. So delish you guys. I also had some leftover for sammies which are my absolute fave thing ever. Head to the RECIPES page.

A good breakfast just hits the spot, and when there's time to put a nice big one together, that's where it's at! I love me a full breakfast, but don't always have time to put one together. Weekends are for breakfasts that fill us up and leave us feeling satisfied and ready to take on the day.

I whipped up a lovely breakfast plate for two here that featured all of the goodies. Crispy, golden hashbrowns, baked beans, fluffy scrambled eggs, golden Beyond Meat breakfast links, and fresh fruit to round things out.

Head to the RECIPES page for this breakfast inspiration and also, I linked some amazing products from Wayfair Canada for their 5 days of deals sale happening now. Up to 60% off or more on virtually everything. Don't miss out and head to the RECIPES page.

This mixed berry loaf took me on a wild ride you guys lol I don't know why I am inclined to improvise when it comes to baking lol that's something you do when you're COMFORTABLE baking, not when you're in my shoes.

I wanted to incorporate some of the gorgeous freeze dried Grapefruit from Citreve and thought I'd nestle them on top of the loaf. Needless to say, they turned black and looked like hell. I ended up plucking them off which left the top of my loaf looking pretty battered so I made an emergency glaze I found on google and folded in crushed grapefruit. The glaze was sugary sweet with that sour tang from the grapefruit that complimented the sweet loaf so well. I'm so grateful I was able to save this one from being ugly lol 

All in all, it turned out super well. The loaf was moist, full of berries, and as I said, that glaze was just the right amount of sour to compliment the loaf. Head to the RECIPES page.

Look, I realize a grilled cheese sandwich is supposed to be quick and satisfying, but why can't we take a tiny extra step to give it some extra pizazz?

I blanched some broccoli and then tossed it with EVOO and some seasonings before smashing the florets on a baking sheet. I baked them off until tender with some gorgeous browning, and then assembled my sammies for frying. Grilled cheese sandwiches are honestly the ONLY time I use margarine. I WOULD use butter, but I never keep any out that's soft and don't like waiting lol.

I used a combination of aged marble for colour & meltiness, and good Scottish aged cheddar for funk. I also slathered on cream cheese and nestled on some roasted florets. Fried to golden perfection and gobbled up right after. So yum! Head to the RECIPES page.
