Pepperoncini Risotto with Burrata

11/19/2023

When I say it doesn't get easier, I really mean it with my Pepperoncini Risotto with Burrata. You get heat, you get decadence with that dreamy burrata, wonderful flavour, and creamy, delicious risotto. It's quite perfect if I do say so myself.

Quite simply, pepperoncini & garlic are cooked in butter, along with onions and our toasted arborio rice. A little wine, some warm broth, and patience, and you've got the dreamiest risotto. Finished with some lemon for zip, grana padano, and additional butter which keeps this risotto creamy and lush.

Our burrata is nestled on top, like a crown for royalty. As it melts, it melds in to the risotto creating such a luscious bite. Head to the RECIPES page <3

These flaves might surprise you, but to be honest, store bought naan is just like any other floury carb. If I'd make it on a pizza crust or focaccia; why wouldn't I apply this to a store bought naan?

Quite simply, naan is topped with fresh, or prepared pesto, Heirlooms, Burrata, and other gorgeous goodies, including toasted pine nuts, and balsamic glaze. 

Delicious, quick, and available now under the RECIPES tab.!

My Connection Between Meatless Mondays & Wolf Conservation

11/15/2023

0 Comments

 
All across our planet, wolves are being unfairly persecuted, slaughtered, and pushed to the brink of endangerment in order to protect livestock. Instead o better protecting livestock enclosures, wolves are euthanized. As our demand for meat grows with out planet's population, we will need more land to produce more livestock. This land is stolen from wild animals, and we kill those animals for interfering with our livestock production. This cycle is pushing wolves towards extinction and it won't stop with them. Every other predatory species is in peril as a result of our food choices.

Head to the ANIMAL NEWS page for my connection between meatless Mondays and wolf conservation.

Got a can of beans in your pantry? If you said yes, you've got a delicious meal waiting for you with a few simple ingredients and about 40 minutes of your time.

I love this recipe because it's so flavourful, so simple, and so delicious. Our can of broad beans is simmered in a combination of wine and broth until tender. Then, we simply fold in some grana and parsley, grill up some sourdough for dunking, and that's it!

This recipe is perfect as a nice lunch / dinner for 2 paired up with some fresh salad / greens or a wonderful side for 4. Get your can of beans out of the pantry and head to the RECIPES page.

Spicy Red Lentil Tikka Skillet

This recipe is one I think you guys will love for multiple reasons. First of all, it's a one pot dish and if you eat it the way I suggest, you don't even need plates / bowls. Secondly, it's so ridiculously flavourful and loaded with heat, it's a party for your taste buds. Finally, it's super easy to make / cook thanks to split red lentils that cook in under 15 minutes.

Once we've simmered our lentils to a tender, thick consistency, we garnish with a variety of goodies including cilantro lime sauce, diced red onions for crunch, green onions and cilantro for that fresh pop, and additional red Thai chilis, because when I say spicy, I mean it.

I just tore in to the skillet with naan bread and didn't even serve it up. I think it'd be a fun way to serve it up to friends / family. A bit more interactive in my opinion. Head to the RECIPES page.

Creamy Red Pesto Tortiglioni Skillet with Broiled Mozz

You guys, it's amazing what a bit of broiled mozzarella does to an otherwise simple AF dish. That blistered, bubbly cheese just takes things to an entirely new level in my opinion.

​This tortiglioni skillet is about as easy as it gets, perfect for weeknight eats. Tortiglioni pasta is tossed in a simple pesto wine sauce until glossy and gorgeous. Then, we simply bury the skillet under a glorious layer of pizza mozzarella and broil it under bubbly, blistered, and with a welcoming amount of browning action.

​Finished simply with some pepper flakes, herbs, and grana padano, this skillet is easy eats, delicious, and ready in under 30 from start to fin. Head to the RECIPES page.

Tis the season for soup y'all, so why don't I introduce my Creamy Tortellini & Tuscan Kale Soup :)

Tortellini soups eat nice and hearty thanks to the plump pasta in almost every bite. With this recipe, you're also getting loads of veggies including leeks, tender broccoli, and celery, all swimming in a creamy, delightfully flavourful broth.

The soup comes together in under an hour, is easy enough to make, and super delicious. Finished with rich cream, nutty grana padano, and fresh, herbaceous parsley; it's a well balanced bowl that's available now under the RECIPES page.

New Personal Blog Post - Change

Change can be a good thing, but when it is forced upon you, it just hits differently. I'm reflecting on the closure of the restaurant I'd worked at for almost 8 years and how it's impacting me and my ability to plan for my immediate future. If you're interested, pop over to the PERSONAL BLOG page.

Buttery Lemon Bucatini

Where my lemon lovers at? If you're like me, lemony dishes are a year-round vibe. I love fresh, citrusy pops of flavour and my Buttery Lemon Bucatini definitely delivers on that lemony promise.

This dish is incredibly easy and quick to make. It's super important to be present through the process because walking away when I tested this idea the first time caused my butter to scorch. I also undercooked my pasta noodles drastically to the point of being inedible lol So be present, take the 30 minutes to be in the kitchen, and you'll be obsessed with this easy recipe.

Simple and fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked bucatini, and loads of lemon flavour. Head to the RECIPES page!

White Cheese Chili Au Gratins

Au gratin potatoes are total fall / winter comfort vibes. Layers of tender taters, rich, creamy sauce, cheese, just stick to your ribs goodness. As I've created multiple version over the years, it was time to add in some serious heat for a welcome, spicy change!

Layers of thinly sliced russets along with a combination of Monterey Jack & Habanero cheddar, sliced jalapenos, red Thai chilis, garlic, and red onions, smothered in a creamy sauce, and baked until tender, gloriously golden, and bubbly AF.

The heat cuts through the richness of the cheese and cream making it easy to put away a second serving. If you like things spicy, you need to get to the RECIPES page.
