I love a good kitchen shortcut. Especially one that makes traditional pierogi so light and delicate, I can eat twice as many. Guys. TWICE as many! The secret is pre-made wonton wrappers.

How to: Make your own – World’s Simplest Tomato Sauce
This summer has been such a scorcher. Way back in June, I couldn’t wait to dive head first into Ontario’s summer bounty.

I’m always looking for new ways to jazz up that old block of tofu. We’ve roasted it, we’ve served it cold, we’ve even turned it into a delicious burger. Can you believe we have yet to stir fry it?! I know, crazy town! I think stir-frying has to be the most common method of cooking…
How To: Quickie Meal – Pasta with Garlic, Red Pepper Flakes and Broccoli Rabe
When it comes to taking care of household chores we all have our roles. I take care of the cooking, he takes care of the garbage, we both share day to day clean up and laundry duties. I think we have a pretty good groove going. And sometimes, we both step out of our chore…
