Thanks to Beyond Meat Hot Italian sausages, dinner is as simple as can be. These sausages have SO MUCH flavour you guys and can easily be the star of the show. This recipe was a result of scouring my fridge for ideas and realizing I had sausages out, a box of bucatini, and a container of cherry tomatoes with no intended purpose lol.

So simple. I fried up some onions and garlic before crumbling in the sausages. Once cooked down, some good wine followed by some rich whipping cream & basil. While that simmered, I cooked my pasta and then finished the bucatini directly in the creamy sauce to thicken it up. Finished with grana padano & pasta water until glossy and gorgeous.

Such a simple recipe with minimal ingredients but maximum flavour. Get on over to the RECIPES page.

When it comes to a hearty breakfast, breakfast burritos always come to mind. So many delicious things stuffed inside a gorgeously golden tortilla. So delish!

I roasted up some taters dressed in herbs and garlic seasoning until they were golden and fluffy inside. In the meantime, I whipped up a seasoned egg scramble and got my tortillas ready to assemble. I added some cottage cheese, the roasted taters, chipotle mayo, red onion, fluffy scram, salsa, and pickled hot peppers.

Once gorgeous and golden off the grill, I sliced and served. Don't forget the hot sauce. With every bite you take, you should be giving a few squirts of your fave hot sauce. It's a necessity if you ask me. Head to the RECIPES page.

Protein all the way with this gorgeous, and rather simple dish. It all starts with a humble can of white beans and a couple chik'n patties I had in my freezer with no intended purpose. Sometimes peeking through the cabinets / freezers is all the inspiration we need lol

I made a quick sauté with garlic, pepperoncini, and onion, and cooked them until soft. Cue the white beans, some plant-based chik'n broth, and some simmering time. Whipping cream and grana padano to finish while the chik'n patties finish with melty mozzarella.

​Service is simple. Place your cheesy patties on top of the creamy beans, spoon some gorgeous, fresh pesto on top, and garnish. So delish you guys and available now through the RECIPES page.

Over at Food Social, I decided to take part in their Spring Picnic themed event which had me creating a picnic ready recipe that featured a jelly of sorts. I knew I wanted to go with a pepper jelly and halloumi combination because they pair flawlessly together.

I fried up some gorgeous halloumi cheese until golden on both sides. In the meantime, I whipped up my cottage cheese until smooth & creamy and slathered in on to two Greek style wraps. These wraps are similar to a flatbread, but foldable and more soft. Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, thinly sliced red onions, fried halloumi, pepper jelly, and some zippy hot pickled peppers. 

You get savoury, fried, fresh, creamy, tangy, and sweet, all in one delicious wrap. Head to the RECIPES page.

First there were the Tater Tot Nachos, and now the Potato Nachos. Revolutionary? Nope. Delicious? Absolutely! I actually put this together as a result of buying a bag of potatoes when I already had half a bag in my pantry. This was the perfect way to use a bunch of them up.

I seasoned and roasted the potatoes until crisp outside, and fluffy inside. Then, I topped them off with my favourite La Costena Mexican Pintos and some shredded aged marble. Once that melted up, it was as simple as garnishing with all of your favourite nacho toppings.

Tomatoes, Jalapenos, Chipotle Mayo, Salsa, Onions, Jalapenos, and hot sauce of course. Super customizable and super delish / easy to make. Head to the RECIPES page.

You guys, whipped cottage cheese is like, my new favourite thing. It's basically a creamy, protein spread that's perfect for a toastie like this. I actually ended up using the leftovers for Triscuits which was also a fab snack.

These toasties feature golden, grilled sourdough, dreamy whipped cottage cheese, my favourite, gorgeously green pesto recipe, heaps of spicy pepperoncini, grana padano, and fresh parsley to finish. When the heat / pesto mixes with that runny yolk, it's so divine.

The cottage cheese provides a creamy, light backdrop to the richness of the eggs & pesto, as well as the heat from the pepperoncini. Perfect brekkie toast vibes. Head to the RECIPES page.

When I made my Jalapeno Poppers, I made enough to feed 4 people despite being the only one who was going to eat them lol. I ended up with quite a few leftover and that's why I decided to whip up this Jal Popper Grilled Cheese.

Now, assuming you actually have some left, this is such a delicious way to use up those leftovers. Shredded marble, leftover poppers, and red onions, stuffed between sourdough bread adorned with jalapeno slices and fried up in a skillet on both sides until gorgeously golden.

It's cheesy AF and those cream cheese poppers are so lush inside that crispy sammie. Head to the RECIPES page for this fun idea!

There's no such thing as a bad potato, unless of course you undercook them lol but outside of that, is there truly a bad tater? Mashed, roasted, baked, fondant, stuffed, they're all fabulous. Fondants happen to be one of my faves. They're so smooth and velvety inside, they give luxury despite literally being a humble potato lol.

After they get seared until golden, I added wine and let that simmer off. Then, we submerge the golden potatoes in broth along with loads of butter, a cheese rind for flavour, tons of garlic, seasonings, and herbs, and bake them until so smooth and tender inside.

I served them up with my favourite pesto which contrasted really nicely on a black plate! However, you could totally skip the pesto and just eat them as they are, they're divine. Head to the RECIPES page!

I would say that these are probably one of the most enjoyable little snacks / apps ever. Creamy, kind of spicy, and frankly, addictive. Set a tray of these babies out at your next get together, blink, and the plate will be empty, that's a guarantee lol.

The recipe is super simple too! Once you've scooped out all the pith and seeds from your jals, it's as simple as mixing the cream cheese filling together & piping it in to your jalapeno boats. I topped them off with aged marble cheddar and then baked them until tender.

I saw this idea from the Cookie & Kate Blog about topping them with crisp chips, but I decided to go with some pretzel crackers which brought a nice, buttery saltiness to the poppers. So good you guys! Head to the RECIPES page!

I love roasted cauliflower. I love when it gets a little charred in the oven while also being so tender and delicious. This dish is actually SUPER SIMPLE and can be whipped in no time. 

I broke down a cauliflower in to large florets and dressed them in EVOO, pepper flakes, salt & pepper. Once they baked for about 25 minutes, I dredged them in Nando's Medium Garlic sauce and then returned them to the oven to let that sauce cook in to them a bit.

Serve them up drizzled with more of that lovely Nando's sauce and some fresh parsley / green onions. I ate most of them myself, but this could serve two people as a starter or a side dish to your main course. Head to the RECIPES page.
