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!…
Mushroom Stroganoff
I have been dying to share this recipe. I would be shouting ‘MUSHROOM STROGANOFF!’ from the rooftops if it was at all socially acceptable. Short ingredient list. Cooks in under thirty. A monkey could make it. That’s a classic triple threat, right there. Wait. It’s also just-try-holding-me-back-from-eating-the-whole-pot delicious. Quad threat. I’ve been holding this little recipe…
How to: Make your own Short-Cut Pierogi with Potato and Caramelized Onion

How to: Recipe Makeover – Broccoli Slaw
I love a classic. Books, movies, and mayonnaise laden salads included. Honestly, I’m never really happy at a barbecue without a creamy potato or pasta salad, so let’s leave those alone for now. This one’s a fun little update on the creamy bacon-y version of the classic broccoli salad. Not to worry, I don’t completely ruin…
How To: Recipe Makeover – Vegetarian Cobb Salad
I know this title may read like an oxymoron. Bacon and chicken are two of the ingredients typically found in a Cobb salad, joining eggs, blue cheese, tomatoes, and avocados. But who says you can’t deviate from the original now and then? What would life be like if we were all the same, right? When…
