Are there things you want to do that you haven’t started? What are you waiting for? For example,I’ve been wanting to create a chicken souvlaki marinade for over a year now. But it took until this year to FINALLY make it. Why? I’m actually not sure. Perhaps I was intimidated to make it or worried […]

Are you a fish fan? I definitely am. However, cooking fish can definitely intimidate. That’s why I came up with my Easiest Dijon Dill Haddock. It’s a tasty protein that’s ready in under 15 minutes (start to finish) and tastes as good as it sounds. When I choose fish I generally opt for frozen, individually […]

Have you tried sheet pan gnocchi yet?! If not, you will LOVE my Mediterranean Sheet Pan Gnocchi recipe. Gnocchi has always been my favourite food but I only have homemade gnocchi on special occasions. Therefore, to have my gnocchi fix, I love packaged gnocchi for dinners at home, like my Veggie-Loaded Gnocchi in a Tomato Cream Sauce. […]

Easter is right around the corner and my family always has Crispy Herb Roasted Potatoes on the menu. However, this year we are celebrating virtually and social distancing.

How are you keeping? This COVID-19 social distancing is not easy but connecting with others remotely is comforting and still powerful. Nevertheless, I am excited to share my newest Walnut Lime Pesto recipe. I was inspired to make this homemade pesto because of my very robust-growing basil plant. Additionally, I was craving pesto to mix […]

It’s a stressful time with COVID-19. Until now, you may have found it hard to find time for batch cooking. However, with all the cancellations, now is the perfect time to start. 🙌 This meal planning strategy works by making larger quantities, like this Spicy Chana Masala for the freezer. As a result, you have […]

This Christmas I received an Instant Pot, which is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker and yogurt maker. I’m just getting acquainted with the Instant Pot so still many more recipes to try. Stay tuned! However, French Onion Soup has always been a favourite and I was excited to try this meal in this […]

In honour of Nutrition Month, I’ve partnered with two fellow dietitians and a chef for a giveaway. We are all lovers of food, cooking and thought what better way to celebrate […]

Don’t let our winter weather hold you back from enjoying fresh salads! For instance, this Almond, Arugula & Orange salad, which is simply delightful. After all, including colourful fruits and veggies in our diets helps combat the winter blues, as mentioned in 3 Ways to Boost Mood with Food. Folate and tryptophan in leafy greens […]

Who does not love 3-ingredient meal options? For instance, these Smoked Salmon Antojitos hit that mark. Antojitos are Mexican street food that literally meaning “little cravings.” They’re quick to prepare and can be stored in the fridge for an on-the-go breakfast or work lunch. I made these this past weekend for a plane meal and […]

In fact, we can balance things out by including more well-prepared (not boring) veggies. This helps to promote fullness. For instance, Orange Parsley & Sunflower Salad does just that! It […]
