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!…

How to: Make your Own – General Tso’s Tofu
Yo. Meat lovers. If ever there were ever a reason to start eating tofu, here it is. A perfect storm of intense flavour, perfect texture and…damn it, it’s just glorious. Trust me. The inspiration behind this one is Dana over at The Minimalist Baker. Both Dara and I have been infatuated with this recipe since…
How To: Big Batch – Thai Carrot & Sweet Potato Soup
Have I told you how I won the cookbook lottery jackpot? Just before we rang in 2017, I found out I won not one, not two, but TWELVE cookbooks! Do you know how many cookbooks twelve is? A LOT! So much that they are all still sitting in a pile on my bedroom floor as…

Chicken Soup for Cold Season
Anyone else feeling like this cold and flu season has been particularly brutal? Granted, my daughter is spending her first year daycare, too. Also known as the world’s biggest germ factory. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised it’s been cold central around here. When my nose is raw and my throat lumpy, all I want is a magical cure for my…
How To: Slow Cooker – Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Last week I was lounging by a pool, running in shorts, and enjoying daily 2 for 1 happy hours. Now, I’m bundled up in a parka, glued to the treadmill, and have 2 slightly under the weather kiddos. Reality bites! One benefit to being home in our lovely Toronto winter – this spicy chicken. Are you…
