After my very sweet series of posts last week (Almond Blondies, Brown Sugar Blueberry Polenta Scones, Mini Peach Crumble Pies, I thought it would be a good idea to make some savoury food now. I’m starting this week off with some meatballs! These are made with ground chicken (super lean and healthier than ground beef)…

Cheddar & Green Onion Scones
I know I just posted that egg & cheese breakfast sandwich the other day (link here), which was super tasty, but I wanted to share another yummy breakfast idea. I’ve also been on quite a cheesy/dairy streak recently – my last posts were Cheesy Nachos, Chocolate Covered Cheesecake and now here we have cheese in…
(That Viral) Egg & Cheese Sandwich
A few months ago, there was a viral Tik Tok where people were making this one pan egg and cheese sandwich. There wasn’t much to the recipe but everyone was going crazy for it. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, here’s the gist: You start by pouring some beaten eggs into a…
Chocolate & Cranberry Biscotti
If you like a cookie with a little more texture, I’d recommend making some biscotti. Based on the name – bi (two) and cotti (cooked) – these cookies are baked twice, which gives them a nice crunch. I’ve made almond-orange biscotti before that turned out incredible (link here) but today I tried a new recipe….
Cheese Nachos
To me, nachos are the perfect weekend snack. They great to get at a restaurant patio while drinking a cold beverage. Since most of us are still staying home because of the pandemic, making your own nachos is the way to go for now. Today, I’m sharing a super simple recipe for cheesy nachos. These…
Peanut Butter Apple Rings
If you like ants on a log (celery with peanut butter and raisins/craisins), you will love these apple rings. I’ve taken that classic childhood snack that I’m sure most people have eaten, and turned it into a sweeter/dessert version. This might be one of the easiest snacks to ever exist. The name pretty much says…
Lentil Taco Salad
I’m all about eating non-boring salads. One great way to ensure a good salad is by filling it with lots of ingredients, so obviously you need to have more than just lettuce. Mexican food is one of my favourite cuisines to cook, but sometimes I don’t want to eat something heavy like a burrito. So…
Pasta with Tomato-Cream Sauce
A simple pasta dish is my idea of a great weeknight meal. This one is so quick to put together and pretty much uses all pantry items (except for cream) so you can make this even if you haven’t gone grocery shopping in a little while. Don’t have the cream, not to worry! You can…
Breaded Chicken Cutlets
I feel like many cuisines have their own version of a breaded cutlet. In South America, it’s called ‘milanesa’; in Europe, it’s a ‘schnitzel’; in Japan, you get ‘katsu’. There can be some differences with the type of meat used (ie: chicken, veal, pork), but the gist is a breaded cutlet that’s pan fried until…
Hummus Two Ways: Classic & Beet
A few months ago, I made a really delicious white bean hummus (link here). It was a great dip and good twist on basic chickpea hummus. However, today, I am going back to the classics – sort of. I have created a recipe for traditional hummus which is great as it is, or you can…
