I know, I know. I was skeptical too. Spaghetti squash and tacos don’t seem like a natural fit, but I swear to you… They like peas and carrots. I can’t take credit for this genius combo, though. It all goes Deb Perlman of Smitten Kitchen fame. Deb’s recipe testing skills are on point because I’m…

Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burritos
It’s been too long, homemade frozen burritos. I need you back in my life. It’s been a minute since we first introduced this idea to you. Over 2 years, in fact. It was one of our very first blog posts. As our blog grows, so too do our palates, so I’m stepping up my game for…
Parsnip and Apple Soup
I trust you’ve enjoyed your Thanksgiving gluttony as much I as I have? Number one holiday in my books.

How to: Seasonal Cooking – Roasted Asparagus Soup
After such a long winter, Ontario’s spring bounty is really taking its sweet time showing itself. And I’m an impatient person. So I caved and bought American asparagus. (GASP! i know). The treachery of it tore me up a little. Until it hit my lips. This soup is so damn good. And so damn simple….
