You’re probably thinking ‘Lentils and rice? NBD’. But you must listen to me when I say this dish is an unassuming showstopper. Like, everyone loves it.

How To: Quickie Meal – Hoisin Chicken and Vegetable Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
This past weekend we purchased our first two pints of local Ontario strawberries of this season. I think there may be some strawberry jam happening in the near future.

How To: Seasonal Cooking – Spinach Salad Bowls with Candied Walnuts and Honey Basil Dressing

Salad for dinner weather. This spring season is also the season we have salad for dinner about twice a week. I love…
