Sausage & Tomato Soup

3/29/2023

Soup season is coming to a close y'all, so tuck in to a bowl of my Sausage & Tomato Soup! The Beyond Meat Hot Italian Sausages provide the backdrop of flavour throughout the soup with help from garlic, thyme, oregano, and heat from pepperoncini. These flavours play so well together and provide a robust bite of soup.

In addition to the sausages, you've got smooth, creamy navy beans & fresh baby spinach to round everything out. The soup is thick, rich in flavour, and absolutely delicious. I couldn't help myself and had two full bowls, it was really that good!

Spicy Eggs on Toast with Feta & Dill

3/26/2023

A perfectly cooked egg, on a perfectly grilled piece of sourdough, is all you need for a banging breakfast. Easy, quick, and delicious. What you add to it in terms of flavour combinations, only enhances the otherwise perfect egg / toast sitch you already have going on. You can take the egg on toast in any flavour direction you want.

I went with a feta and dill combination because I like the pop of freshness against the salty, tangy cheese. When paired with eggs, the dill provides a nice pop against the richness of the eggs & feta while the chili oil gives you that welcome punch of heat. I'm a sucker for a runny yolk that has some kick to it, there's nothing better!

Jalapeno Cheddar Cheetos Mac & Cheese

Happy Friday! Let's celebrate the end of the work week with a big, cheesy serving of my Jalapeno Cheddar Cheetos Mac & Cheese!

Mac & Cheese is definitely one of my favourite fu<king things to eat. What's not to love? I decided to give my tradish mac a jalapeno twist by adding diced jalapenos to the cream / egg mixture, sliced jalapenos to the top, and some crunchy, cheesy jalapeno cheetos on top. Jalapeno coming from every direction with this mac, and trust me, it's delicious.

The cheetos on top provide a welcome punch of flavour and just a little heat to balance out the rich, cheesy mac. I finished each serving with additional crushed cheetos for some welcome crunch and more of that cheesy jalapeno flave. Get on over to the RECIPES page.

Crispy Potato Tacos with Pickled Onions

Pickled onions make everything better imo. Crispy, vinegary, pops of flavour. They're my fave! They really take these otherwise simple tacos to the next level by providing a contrast to the richness coming from the seasoned taters & beans.

These tacos are super simple to make. While the taters roast, you quick pickle your red onions and warm up your torts. I used a quick pickle recipe from the Cookie & Kate blog, (https://cookieandkate.com/) , adjusting it a tiny bit but they were perfect for this recipe.

Buffalo Brussel Sprouts

I. Am. Obsessed. With. These.

​Anytime I hear buffalo anything, I'm in! Buffalo sauce is the perfect balance between incredibly hot and mild, while also being buttery and velvety. Making buffalo style sauce at home is really simple. All you need is some unsalted butter and your fave hot sauce. 

I roasted up some gorgeous sprouts, dredged them in the sauce, baked them again to cook that sauce in to them, and finished them with lemon, parsley, and feta. They're super spicy, super tender, and super addictive. I could've eaten the whole tray if I hadn't considered my poor stomach an dhow I'd die inside afterwards.

Patty Melt Sliders

This was such a fun idea to put together. My sister is OBSESSED with patty melts, like, obsessed. We grew up eating that kind of food you know? Kind of dumpy, but you love it, diner ish style eats; that's our vibe.

We had a scheduled get together to have drinks, watch Dead to Me on Netflix, and cook, and I thought it would be a fab idea to try and make these little patty melt sliders. You can make anything vegetarian / vegan anymore if you put your mind to it, and these were actually super easy, and super delicious.

Smashed, seasoned Beyond meat slider patties, caramelized onions & mushrooms in garlic butter, swiss, havarti, thyme, and the cutest little buns. The combination of flavours were so savoury and wonderful, it made perfect sense to dip / spread them in a sweeter, punchier sauce. We used bottled Sandwich Sauce, which was a bit like Thousand Island imo. It complimented everything super well. 

​Whatever you pair them with, they're cute, fu<king delicious, and easy enough to put together. Head to the RECIPES page.

Kiska, Canada's last captive orca, has died at Marine Land

3/11/2023

Canada's last captive orca, Kiska, has passed away, ending a long, sad life of captivity, that saw her suffer throughout her life and spend the last 10 years of her life in solitary. She is finally free of her confinement and reminds us that animals that are plucked from the wild suffer tremendously as a result of captivity.

Cheesy One Pot Rigatoni Skillet

3/10/2023

One pot meals are one of my favourite things to make during the week. They're easy to put together, cook all in one pot, and require minimal clean up, all things that fit in to a busy, weekday schedule.

Modeled after my mom's mozzarella spaghetti skillet, my cheesy rig skillet is so cheesy and delicious. You've got flavour from seasonings, fresh basil, and pepperoncini, as well as creamy white beans, perfectly cooked rigatoni, and heaps of mozzarella and grana padano. My fave part of this is stirring it around after all of the cheese has been added and watching the cheesy strings pull apart as you stir. It's so yummy.
