We all know by now that cheddar and broccoli are the quintessential duo. Their love story goes way back and they have made appearances together in many of my recipes over the years including my new Creamy White Cheddar Broccoli Gnocchi.

Super simple sauce you guys. Aromatics, some heat, good wine, whipping cream, a touch of seasoning, and a combination of funky, extra old white cheddar & grana padano. Once finished, I broiled a little cheddar on top just until melted, not browned. A little extra funk action from that cheese.

The resulting gnocchi dish is so cheesy, while the broccoli maintained its texture perfectly. Nothing worse than squishy, overcooked broc you guys. Now get on over to the RECIPES page and make this ASAP.

I'm guilty of not always getting enough protein as my day to day diet is heavily reliant on raw produce. I need to work harder at that and these gorgeous Pesto Protein Toasts are the perfect protein packed breakfast to fuel the day with 30g of protein per two toasts.

It's as simple as preparing a fresh pesto and grilling up some gorgeous potato or sourdough bread. Once grilled, I gave them a garlic rub down and assembled.

Pest on the bottom, protein packed full-fat cottage cheese, gorgeous fried eggs, spicy chili oil, grana padano, and fresh herbs to finish. Not only are they pretty, they're delicious, quick, and as stated, packed with protein.

Au Gratin potatoes were probably my absolute fave side dish growing up. We typically did the boxed variety, but even still, they were just divine. Layers of thinly sliced potatoes baked in a creamy sauce until golden. There's absolutely nothing not to love.

I've made them from scratch a million times but I'm always trying out different additions to make them unique. My Jalapeno Cheddar variety packs a savoury, cheesy punch with a tongue tingling heat in every delicious bite.

The spice really helps to cut the richness of the dish. I love the combination of creamy and spicy together, it always works so well for me and as y'all know, I lvope me some spice in anything / everything. Get on over to the RECIPES page and give these spicy taters a try!

Another messy, fun breakfast sandwich coming in hot here for y'all! This time, I decided to give my breakfast sandwich a little chipotle chik'n twist and let me just say, deeeeeliciousness!

I went with Not Co Chik'n Burgers because the patties are a bit thinner which was ideal when the sandwich had so many other fillings. Crispy plant-based chik'n topped with melty Monterey Jack, crispy hashbrown, perfectly fried egg, zippy pickled hot peppers, lettuce, tomato, and hot sauce. 

You get crisp action, you get glorious yolk action, heat, richness, and a huge mess all over your fingers / hands lol how fun! Head to the RECIPES page <3

This was both super fun and rather frustrating to make you guys lol the package of fresh dough was very vague in terms of usage so I struggled a bit getting everything stretched out lol With that being said, it turned out F A N T A S T I C !!

Once I got my dough to fit my tray, I started with some pizza sauce and heaps of shredded pizza mozzarella. I topped it off with my fave toppings including tomatoes, pickled hot peppers, feta, and red onions, and baked until perfect.

Once finished, I drizzled the za with some gorgeously green, fresh pesto that I whipped up. The pesto brought some nutty and fresh notes to each slice which was simply divine. The pickled hot peppers provided both acidity and heat which cuts through the richness of the cheese. She's perfect y'all! Head to the RECIPES page.

I originally tested this idea with a store-bought, 2 minute microwavable risotto, and if you guys remember, that risotto was DANK! Gosh, literally one of the worst risottos I'd ever tried lol Completely devoid of any good flavour and honestly, it tasted like a dusty pantry.

With that being said, here's a version I KNOW you guys will just adore. Same idea, scratch made risotto. Onion, garlic, heat from pepperoncini, and sundried tomatoes start everything off. Toasted arborio rice, good wine, and broth + patience. Once the risotto is creamy and perfect, I finished with pesto, lemon, and grana padano. So creamy and so flavourful.

I topped of each serving of risotto with my fave Gardein Supreme Plant-Based Chik'n filets blanketed under melty mozz and VOILA! Head to the RECIPES page.

All of my favourite things coming together for the perfect handheld. Crispy, toasted sourdough bread rubbed down with garlic, fresh, gorgeously green pesto that I tossed spinach in to make it extra green and vibrant, spicy pickled peppers, my fave plant-based chik'n filets, and dreamy burrata.

Y'all know I'm obsessed with anything having to do with pesto, so I'm always trying to concoct new ideas so that I can continue eating pesto as often as possible lol The spinach addition made the pesto so rich and vibrant, and while you could pick up on it when tasting, the basil and cheese were the prominent flavours. 

I'm obsessed with these sammies guys. Get on over to the RECIPES page.

Introducing my new Black Bean Burger Breakfast Sammies! To be honest, I was originally planning to use plant-based sausage rounds, but they were completely sold out at the market. I shifted gears and snatched a box of Gardein Supreme Black Bean Burgers and thought hey, this might work lol plus, it gave me an opportunity to try out another of their products.

The sammie was legitimately perfection. The flavour from the black bean patty gave the sammie some extra oomph along with the crispy hashbrown, perfectly fried, yolky eggs, crisp lettuce, melty cheddar, and my favourite green salsa. Get on over to the RECIPES page <3

Hey, this isn't exactly revolutionary or anything, but it's certainly fun and delicious you guys! Crispy, frozen hashbrowns are legit one of my fave things. A little ketchup on one side and chipotle mayo on the other and I can go to town lol

I believe I saw something similar as I scrolled through Instagram reels and thought yah, I could definitely do something like that. What's not to love? You've got your crispy, golden brown hashbrown patties topped off with melty cheddar, spicy jalapeno, salsa, sour cream, red and green onions, and diced tomatoes.

The browns stay nice and crisp with all of those delicious toppings. I only tested the recipe for 6 hashbrowns so I didn't over eat lol but it's very easy to make as many as you'd like. Simply increase your topping prep and you're good to go. Head to the RECIPES page.
