Originally published on April 27, 2014 To me, eggs really are the perfect food, which is why I especially love dishes like this one that really show them off. Frittatas are super easy, you can stuff whatever you’d like into them, and they’re not just for breakfast. Growing up, I remember one of my friend’s families had a […]

No Bake Mac n’ Cheese
Originally published on April 28, 2014 I have a couple different versions of mac n’ cheese on the site, and all of them are baked. But when you bake traditional macaroni and cheese, there’s a problem – at least in my eyes. All of that deliciously melted cheese bakes and gets much firmer. It no longer runs all […]
French Fries
Originally published on April 30, 2014 French fries. They seem so simple, don’t they? Slice up some potatoes, throw ‘em into a deep fryer, and fry until beautifully golden brown and crispy before dunking them in ketchup. But hold on for just a second. If that’s actually how you go about making French fries, you’ll be extremely […]
Peppers and Eggs
Originally published on May 1, 2014 As most of you know, I love eggs. And when it comes to food, the only thing I might love more than eggs are eggs that are stuffed inside of other food – such as avocados, or even in bread such as with Frog in a Hole. That’s why when I saw this […]
Blackberry Smoothie
Originally published on May 2, 2014 I did the greatest thing this weekend. I moved my blender from the back of the cupboard where it was hiding, and put it on my counter. Why is this so great? Because when something is out of sight, it’s also out of mind, and that was the case […]
Whole Wheat Crackers
Originally published on May 3, 2014 I’ve long since been making my own chips – whether they’re made out of pitas, radishes, or potatoes. But crackers? Come on. Do we really need to be making our own crackers? And is it really that much easier or cheaper than just running out to the store to buy some? I was to […]
Lime Margarita
Originally published on May 5, 2014 It’s Cinco de Mayo today, and what goes better with guacamole than a refreshing margarita? This time, I didn’t blend it or shake it up with a bunch of crushed ice, but chose to simply pour it over the rocks. When you take out the slush factor of margaritas, they turn […]
Thai Peanut Sauce
Originally published on May 6, 2014 This Thai sauce is perfect for dipping summer rolls into but can be used for just about anything, including fish and chicken. You don’t even have to put it over the heat if you don’t want to, but I do find that doing so helps their flavours marry a bit better and helps the overall […]
Summer Rolls
Originally published on May 6, 2014 I love rolls. Any kind of rolls really. Whether something is rolled in tortillas, egg rollwrappers, or even lettuce, there’s something about having a neat little bundle on your plate that’s just incredibly satisfying. These summer rolls are not only pretty, but they’re also very, very healthy. Plus, you won’t be able […]
Simply Sauteed Swiss Chard
Originally published on May 7, 2014 Swiss chard, just like kale or spinach, is a delicious vegetable that will also give you your daily quotient of leafy greens that all of us need. They also aren’t very hard to cook. Just saute it like you would saute spinach with lemon or another acid, and it takes just a couple of […]
