Jalapeno Cheddar Oven Chipped Taters

5/15/2025

0 Comments

Looking for another way to enjoy taters? try these oven chipped jalapeno cheddar potatoes! Thin slices of potatoes overlapped on a baking sheet and seasoned with pep flakes, s & p, and dried parsley. 

Once baked, they get nice and crispy around the edges while the center potatoes become ridiculously soft and tender. I then topped them with aged marble, diced red uns, and jalapenos, and returned them to the oven until melty.

Finished with sour cream and green onions, these taters are addictively delicious. I suggested 3+ servings, but that's very dependent on everyone's hunger levels. I managed to consume 1/2 the tray myself lol Head to the RECIPES page.

Tropical Pitaya Smoothie(s)

A smoothie a day keeps the sickies away, or something like that anyways. I've kind of fallen off the wagon with my smoothie making lately, but I attribute that to the colder weather. Spring / summer smoothies just hit differently.

My Tropical Pitaya Smoothies are so fruity and fab, plus, that gorgeous pink hue is a vibe. Featuring a combination of banana, mango, pineapple, gorgeous pink pitaya, mandarin, and some add ins including acai berry powder and hemp hearts. Blended to creamy, dreamy perfection, these smoothies are so delicious, nutritious, and pretty too.

These avo toasts were so satisfying, hearty, and just plain delicious you guys. Avo toasts are a great breakfast, especially when paired with eggs on a gorgeous piece of grilled toast.

I've been really loving this Everything Sourdough lately. Big pieces and that everything spice blend is so flavourful. I grilled up some slices and gave them a garlic rub down to infuse garlic flavour in to every bite. I fried up a couple eggs and assembled. 

​Sliced avo, thinly sliced red onion, gorgeous fried eggs, some spicy chili oil because I always need a kick, some fresh parsley, and as much crumbled feta as your heart desires. Breakfast is served! Head to the RECIPES page.

Meatball, Spinach & Rice Soup

HAPPY VEG

When I say that this might be one of the best soups I ever created, I am not exaggerating y'all. This idea randomly came to me so I ran with it and I'm so glad I did. 

I made a batch of my delicious Impossible meatballs and baked them off. In the meantime, I whipped up a super spicy soup base. If you're sensitive to heat, I might recommend reducing the pepper flakes by half and cutting out one of the Fresno chilis because she's spicy you guys lol. Once the soup had simmered for some time, I added the meatballs and let them continue in the soup.

I folded in some 2 Minute rice and fresh spinach, and once that wilted down, I finished with fresh parsley and grana padano. The soup packs a spicy punch and those meatballs are so tender and delicious. MAKE THIS ASAP! Head to the RECIPES page.

There's still some of soup season left here in Windsor Ontario y'all. The cooler temps are definitely sticking around, which if you know me, I'm not complaining about lol. With that being said, there's still time to add a few more soups to your soup rotation.

My Creamy Broccoli White Bean Soup is smooth & velvety, creamy, and full of broccoli flavour. This soup is also super simple and doesn't require heaps of ingredients to create something delicious. Some aromatics, good wine, broccoli, white beans, broth, and seasonings. Once everything cooks down, it's as simple as blending until smooth and serving up your bowls garnished with some of my recommended options. Head to the RECIPES page.

Breakfast Bean Toasties

HAPPY VEG

Beans and toast is simple, but so very satisfying. It was actually one of my favourite things to eat when I was living in Ireland, but I always wanted a few extra things to really take it up a notch.

I started by grilling some gorgeous sourdough bread until golden brown. In the meantime, my baked beans were warming up on the stove. I used Sprague Cannery PEI Baked Beans. Sprague is a Canadian company that I've recently fallen in love with and their baked beans are divine and free of of creepy ingredients.

I scrambled up some egg and piled that on top of the toasties. Then, some baked beans, aged cheddar, and a minute or so under the broiler. Finished with green onions and heaps of unnecessary pea shoots lol Head to the RECIPES page and get your breakfast on!

Time for a little snack attach action with my new Cheesy Bruschetta Bites. While not revolutionary, the addition of that melty mozz gives them a little something extra that's addictively delicious.

I whipped up a fresh bruschetta topping which is super simple you guys. Gorgeous tomatoes, fresh basil, finely diced red onion, garlic, and EVOO. Then, I grilled up some gorgeous baguette slices until golden, topped them with melty pizza mozzarella, and broiled until melty and blistered.

Spoon that bruschetta topping on top, finely shred some grana padano for garnish, and finish with a drizzle of seductively sweet balsamic reduction. Simple, fresh, and so tasty. Head to the RECIPES page.

Chik'n Caesar Salad For 1

I usually write & test my recipes to feed four people. When I created my blog, my intention was to create meals for families who were looking to add more meatless meals to their rotation. With that being said, I do like to cook for myself and this Chik'n Caesar Salad is where it's at!

I fried up some Gardein plant-based chik'n strips and grilled up a piece of sourdough that I rubbed down with garlic, and chopped up for croutons. I dressed the romaine with anchovy free Caesar dressing and heaps of grana padano. Once I plated that up, I topped it off with some red onions, my crispy, garlicky croutons, golden chik'n strips, more grana padano, parsley, and a lemon wedge for that pop of citrus. So delish you guys! Head to the RECIPES page.

Egg Salad & Arugula Sammies

A good egg salad sandwich is a whole vibe y'all. Everything for me has to be just right. The bread has to be soft, yet firm to hold the salad in. The salad has to be chilled for long enough that it firms up and holds its structure on the sandwich. I also need some gorgeous greens to round things out.

My egg salad is super simple; eggs, mayo, Dijon, vinegar, crispy veg, and herbs. I let it refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to firm up. I used the most delicious Everything Sourdough bread which was so soft, but also firm and hearty. Loads of peppery arugula and some crispy chips on the side. Lunch is served :) Head to the RECIPES page.
