Ahhh ramen noodles. As cliche as it is, I fell in completely in love with them, followed by entirely sick of them in my first year of university. I bought cases and cases of chicken flavoured Mr. Noodle that year. Stuck in a dorm room, a kettle as my only cooking aide, it was the only way…

How To: Healthy Breakfast – Savoury Squash Pancakes
I’ve had my eye on this recipe for a long time. It’s been bookmarked in my “recipe to try folder,” along with so so SO many more. Well, thank goodness for national food holidays. When #pancaketuesday rolled around last month, it was the perfect excuse for a breakfast-for-dinner meal. And oh how glad I was…

I’m at a loss for words. Seriously – I sat in front of my computer for a good hour just staring. I knew I wanted to share this recipe with you but the only phrase that kept popping in my head was “MAKE THIS NOW!” I feel like these are a tad late to the…
Recipe Makeover – Eggplant Parmesan
We’ve been teased with a few days of warm weather over the last couple of weeks. But I’m on to you, Mother Nature. I’ve been a Canadian gal long enough to know you’re about to screw us over with a blast of icy garbage. This ‘spring is just around the corner’ optimism hasn’t got me fooled!…
