You guys know how much I adore sliders. Cute, handheld, fun to make, they're adorable. My Cheeseburger Sliders give you that full size feeling in a miniature variety and they couldn't be easier to put together.

Instead of forming individual patties, we're just cooking our plant-based beef in a skillet, breaking it down in to crumbles. It's so much easier and requires less prep. Smothered in cheese, sliced red onions, and crispy dill pickles, and baked until golden brown and melty. They're so yummy and so easy to put together, why wouldn't you make them often?

Risotto is one of those dishes that proves that minimal ingredients can create something so flavourful and delicious. My Tomato Risotto is the perfect example of a dish that only needs a few, quality ingredients to be absolutely fabulous.

It all starts with some garlic, pepper flakes, and a butter / EVOO combination, followed by shallots, toasted arborio rice, wine, and endless ladles of broth, until a dreamy, creamy risotto lies before us. I finished the risotto with fresh basil, plump grape tomatoes, saffron, and a healthy dose of grated pecorino. It's rich and creamy, flavourful, and super easy to whip up.

When I was writing this recipe, I had a cacio e pepe sort of thing going on in my head. Lots of pepper, hard cheese, and pasta water, saucy ravioli, simple. Then, I realized I had some open cream in the fridge that I needed to use up, and voila! 

My Creamy Pecorino & Pepper Ravioli takes less than 30 minutes to make from start to fin. The sauce is simple but flavourful, with heavy pepper notes, richness from the cream, the right amount of hat, and nuttiness from the pecorino. As I said, it's so simple, requires only a few ingredients, and tastes absolutely delicious.

The weather here in Windsor, Ontario, has really dipped in the last day or so which means it's the perfect weather for a big, comforting bowl of hot, delicious soup. 

I've whipped up a tortellini white bean soup that's absolutely delicious, hearty, and full of plump, tender, tortellini pasta. Along with the tortellini, there's smooth and creamy white beans, juicy grape tomatoes, tender zucchini, and notes of nuttiness from a cheese rind, heat from pepperoncini, and pops of freshness from the lemon & herbs. It's a wonderful soup that's easy to make and so tasty. Head to the RECIPES page.

Ready for a mid-week, Mac and Cheese pick me up? I sure am! As y'all know, I'm a sucker for a baked mac and I believe I've perfected my baked mac and cheese recipe. This time however, we're using some leftover chili to give our mac and cheese a little something extra.

I've made my egg-based mac, which includes vintage cheddar, monterey jack, gouda, and cream cheese, and simply dolloped some of my Impossible Chili throughout the mac. Baked until golden brown, bubbly, and fu<king glorious, that chili provides a some heat to cut through the richness of the mac and cheese. Chili and cheese go so well together so you can expect that this baked mac is a winner.

What's the difference between cannelloni & manicotti you ask? Quite simply, it's the shape that differentiates them. Cannelloni are typically smooth noodles, while manicotti are ridged and a bit thicker than cannelloni. Outside of those minor differences, they're fairly interchangeable.

My Cheesy Manicotti is is literal stuffed pasta perfection. I love manicotti because they have so much texture even after being baked. They remain hearty and their ridges collect all of that beautiful baked sauce perfectly. I made my usual blended tomato sauce and baked these beauts under a layer of mozz.

They're gorgeous, easy to put together, and are a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Head to the RECIPES page.
