Cheesy Jalapeno Cauli Tacos

Taco Tuesday vibes you guys! Peep my new Cheesy Jalapeno Cauli Tacos! 

I started things off by generously seasoning and roasting some cauliflower florets until tender, with some nice charring action from all of those gorgeous spices. Once tender, I piled on some fiery cheddar, black beans, and sliced jalapenos, and returned it to the oven until melty and fab.

Served up  on corn tortillas with my fave guacamole salsa, vibrant red cabbage, green onions, fresh cilantro, and hot sauce to round things out. Cheesy, full of tender cauliflower, and finished with fresh vibes. They're delicious and available now under the RECIPES tab.

I started with some seasoned potatoes and let those get a head start in the oven. Then, some garlic, onion, and peppers, more seasoning, and some Beyond Meat Hot Italian sausages. Back in to the oven until the veggies are tender and sausages are cooked through.

I finished the dish with some fresh parsley and grana padano. It came out of the oven so bubbly and gorgeous, I was so excited to nosh. Definitely a good recipe you guys <3 Head on over to the RECIPES page.

Red Pesto Hassels

I've been off work now for a couple weeks so I've been looking at ways to use up every last ingredient I have before I go shopping again. I peeped a jar of red pesto in my cupboard and knew I had smaller yellow potatoes handy, hassels were on the menu.

Sliced thinly and baked on a tray with aromatics. I whisked together oil, pesto, pepper flakes, and seasonings, and basted them a couple times as they continued to cook. The end result was perfectly tender taters with the most deliciously flavourful crust. 

I garnished them with some grana & fresh parsley. So tender, so pretty, and available now under the RECIPES tab.

Egg Salad Stuffed Tomatoes

This little appetizer is just perfect for summer you guys! Nice and light, fresh, and minimal cooking, which is fab when those temperatures outside are offensively hot as they are for me right now lol.

I boiled some eggs and in the meantime, sliced and scooped out my cocktail tomatoes, leaving me with little tomato bowls. Once the eggs were cooled, I peeled & chopped them along with my other egg salad ingredients. Once it was all tossed together, I simply piped the salad in to the tomatoes and covered them in the fridge for 30.

When you serve them up, give them a sprinkle of salt & pepper and top each one with some gorgeous fresh dill. So delish, so quick, and so easy too. Head to the RECIPES page.

Sloppy Joes are super nostalgic to me. They were definitely one of my fave things to eat growing up and I'm sure a fave of my parent's too as they were quite inexpensive to feed us all. Messy deliciousness and fun to eat!

I made a really quick slider version that featured Sprague Cannery Plant-Based Sloppy Joe chili. It's a fabulous product you guys, no creepy ingredients, plant-based proteins, and great flavour too. Some King's Hawaiian rolls, sloppy mix, shredded fiesta cheddar, and heaps of diced onions. 

Basted in butter, topped with jalapeno rings, and baked to golden perfection. Cheesy, sloppy, and just so delish. Head to the RECIPES page.

Caprese everything is such a summer vibe. Fresh, colourful, inviting, and screaming summer in every delicious bite. This combination of ingredients is one of my favourite things to eat.

I whipped up a batch of my fave pesto to get started. I toasted up some gorgeous sourdough bread until golden and crisp, and then, I utilized some fresh vine tomatoes I had on hand. Alternately, you could use Roma tomatoes or any tomato that you have on hand.

I sliced up the tomatoes & fresh mozzarella and alternated them on my slices. Salt, pepper, pepper flakes, chili oil, gorgeous pesto, sweet balsamic glaze, and grana padano. A gorgeous, summery snack. Head to the RECIPES page.

Rustic Rigatoni With Meatballs

It was so nice to get back in to the kitchen upon returning home from my trip to Mexico. First up, a gorgeous rigatoni with meatballs sitch! The sauce is modeled loosely after my mom's spaghetti sauce and also takes cues from a ragu / bolognese.

Loads of veggies including shallot, peppers, and celery, heat from pepperoncini, fresh basil, wine, and good tomatoes. Simmered as my Impossible meatballs baked up in the oven to juicy perfection. I let the meatballs simmer in the sauce while the rigatoni cooked, folded everything together, and that's that!

Tender rigatoni, plump vegetarian meatballs, heaps of grana padano to finish, and some fresh basil for that pop of green goodness. Head to the RECIPES page.
