This is likely going to be my last pastina inspired soup of the season y'all, so you better head to the RECIPES page and make this one. I decided to make my green pastina even greener, more buttery, and swapped in pecorino for a sharper finish. Let me tell y'all, this one was so flavourful and rich, just delicious.

Green veggies are at the forefront here. Leeks, zucchini, spinach, broccoli, parsley, bell peppers, jalapenos, and green onions. All of these veggies create the green goodness that the acini di pepe cook in until our soup is rich, thick, and oh so creamy. I finished the soup with more butter of course, a zippy squeeze of lemon, and pecorino.

For service, a drizzle of spicy chili oil, heaps of finely shredded pecorino, pepper flakes, parsley, and some green onions. So much green goodness & delish flavour. 

At this point, I've pretty much broccoli cheddared everything I can think of. It's honestly the perfect combination and can be added to just about anything, including my new Broccoli Queso Fries. Think loaded fries, but broccoli cheddar style.

I started by heating some of my absolute fave white queso as my oven preheated. I also blanched some broccoli until bright and tender crisp. Then, I simply baked some jumbo crinkles and the broccoli until everything was operfectly cooked. I like to cook my fries a bit longer than what the package says because they're never quite crispy enough for me.

Assembly is quick and simple. Crispy fries, broccoli florets, a combination of aged white cheddar & Monterey Jack, steamy, silky hot queso, and some greenery to finish. So delish. Head to the RECIPES page.

While I obviously enjoy cooking, I also enjoy a quick, delicious weeknight meal sitch like this Cheesy Broccoli Chik'n Bowl. Everything comes together in under 30 minutes and you get a hearty, delish bowl with minimal effort. Love that for us.

I started baking some Gardein Supreme Chik'n bites and in the meantime, tossed broccoli florets with EVOO & simple seasonings. Then, broccoli in the oven to roast and finished under a pile of Monterey Jack until melty.

Assembly is simple. Some cheesy microwavable rice, crispy chik'n bites, cheesy roasted broccoli, saucy drizzle, and some greens to finish. This bowl looks so pretty for being so incredibly basic and quick. Head to the RECIPES page and while you're there, check out the linked WAYDAY sales I shared.

Would you guys believe that I'd not tried couscous outside of the fine variety? This was my first time working with pearl couscous and can I just say that I'm absolutely obsessed? The texture is phenomenal and it was absolute perfection in this Mediterranean style salad.

After cooking the couscous, I rinsed it off and let it cool while I diced up all of my veggies & herbs. Then, I tossed everything together with feta, some seasonings, and Greek dressing until gorgeous and combined. I made sure to let it rest in the fridge for 30+ minutes which gives it time to absorb the dressing and let those flavours come together.

Honestly, it was one of the best salads I've made that was so simple and easy. So much fresh flavour, so texturally pleasing, and just so freaking delish. Get on over to the RECIPES page.

I have been doing my workouts in the morning now for the past three months and I'm constantly stopping at the coffee shop for a breakfast sandwich on my way into work to get some protein. Not only am I dropping money left right and center, I'm buying something I could easily make at home for a fraction of the cost.

I decided to whip up these cheesy, spicy frittatas for quick breakfasts on the go. They're so easy to make and so delicious. Eggs, cream, Monterey Jack, jalapenos, green onions, and seasonings. Divided into greased muffin tins and baked until fluffy and gorgeous.

They're delicious right out of the pan, but I packed mine up to reheat quickly through the week. Toasted, buttered English muffins, reheated frittata, and cheese. Simple, quick, and saving me money every day lol Head to the RECIPES page.

I've always said that a can of beans is the perfect starting point for a recipe. Whether we're looking at something savoury, or in this case, fresh and fab, beans are where it's at.

I needed to use up some veggies from the fridge and decided on a super fresh bean salad sitch. Cucumbers, bell peppers, red onion, loads of parsley, and salt free cannellini beans. Once all of that was in a mixing bowl, I whizzed up the vinaigrette which included garlic, lemon, Dijon, and green onion. Once combined with the salad, refrigeration nation for a minimum of 30 minutes to let those flavours come together.

For service, a good drizzle of quality EVOO, some pepper flakes for a little punch of heat against the freshness, gorgeous pea shoots for an extra antioxidant boost, and tangy, salty feta cheese. So fresh and so delicious. Peep the RECIPES page.

Although I enjoy soup throughout most of the year, soup season is ideally when I try to cram as much soup as I can into my face. With that being said, the temps are finally starting to rise and it's almost time to shift to fresh and fab. However, there's still time for a dreamy, creamy bowl of tater soup you guys, you can't go wrong.

It starts with garlic, pepper flakes, & butter, the trinity if you will. Then, a combination of red, yellow, and green onion followed by chunks of taters, some flour for thickening, broth & water. Once boiled, a cheese rind for flavour and about 25 ish minutes of simmering until taters are fork tender. 

The croutons were simple; sourdough, EVOO, seasonings, and bake until crispy and golden. The soup is finished with cream, cream cheese, and grana padano, and topped with our gorgeous croutons. Comfort vibes and so easy to make. Head to the RECIPES page.

Our temperatures went from snow to summer, seemingly overnight lol. It was the fastest goodbye to soup season and hello to salad season I've ever endured. On the menu, a loaded salad full of all of the goodies that make a salad worth craving.

I baked off some of my favourite Chik'n Bites from Gardein and once they were nice and crispy, it was time to assemble. I start by tossing some romaine, onions & loads of grana padano in a creamy Jalapeno Ranch dressing until combined and getting that onto my serving plate. Then, all of the toppings. This keeps everything from getting soggy because you get your creamy base of romaine, and all of your goodies on top.

Spicy jalapenos, cubed Monterey Jack, red and green onions, hard boiled egg, crispy chik'n, and fresh chives. Fresh, loaded, and delish. Peep the RECIPES page.

Nothing like a happy belly full of gorgeous pasta you guys, am I right? I don't eat tagliatelle a lot to be honest, I typically go for Bucatini when it comes to long pasta, but this time I decided on tagliatelle for my Bolognese. It's a fabulous choice for a meaty sauce like this one.

The Bolognese features a variety of vegetables, heat from pepper flakes & chili oil, nutty vibes from a cheese rind, and intensified flavours from simmering over low heat for an hour and a half. That's the most important part of a good Bolognese, time. The time it cooks down, those flavours really intensify.

I tossed my tag into the sauce along with some grana padano I thinned out with pasta water to disperse better throughout the dish. Some grana padano & basil to finish & voila. A delicious, hearty pasta ready to go. Head to the RECIPES page.

Happy Sunday everyone! We're in for a rainy one on my end, and that's why my new Golden Scram Toastie is here to bring the sunshiney goodness. Golden, fluffy, and absolutely delicious.

I used the same method as my recent green eggs, but blended up cream, shredded carrot and garlic. I folded this into my eggs with some turmeric and whisked until combined. A quick cook in a non-stick skillet until fluffy and firm, I don't do loose scrams, I just can't lol.

A good old piece of sourdough is the vessel of choice, slathered in butter and creamy Boursin cheese. Topped with our gorgeously golden scram, some pep flakes, tangy feta cheese, and some parsley & pea shoot action. Loaded, quick, gorgeously golden, and ready to make over at the RECIPES page.
