Originally published on March 20, 2014 Of all the cauliflower recipes I’ve given you this week, this one might be my favourite! I once watched a Diners, Drive-Ins, and Drives where Guy Fieri interviewed a restaurant owner that made his own tater tots. There was much discussion about how this was a very difficult thing to do, and how […]

Buffalo Cauliflower
Originally published on March 22, 2014 All week long we’ve been looking at different cauliflower recipes because you know, cauliflower is the new kale. And I think we’ve proven that by shaping, reforming, and revamping cauliflower in many different ways. Today, we do it again with Buffalo Cauliflower. All the great taste of buffalo wings, in a […]
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 […]
Ooey Gooey Cheesy Nachos
Originally published on May 23, 2014 Nachos are one of my favourite appetizers. And when I heard that my two daughters had never even had nachos before, I decided to make an entire dinner out of it. When making nachos, you have a couple of options for the cheese. You can simply scatter shredded cheese over top of the chips and let it melt. […]
Bruschetta
Originally published on July 11, 2014 Bruschetta is one of those things that is a favourite of most. What’s not to love about grilled bread, dripping with olive oil and tomatoes, with some fresh herbs sprinkled in? And while bruschetta really is a simple enough dish to pull together, there are a few things to remember if you want it […]
Marinated Bocconcini
Originally published on September 1, 2014 I fell in love with bocconcini cheese many moons ago, when I was still a teenager working in a restaurant kitchen in my hometown. Bocconcini is really just fresh mozzarella and you’ll find that it comes in a shape that falls somewhere between an oval and a square (unless […]
Spinach Boreks
Originally published on October 20, 2014 After perusing through Wayne Gisslen’s Professional Cooking when trying to decide what to make for the pre-dinner spread at Thanksgiving this year, I ended up deciding on Spinach Boreks. I had assumed that they were a Greek dish – perhaps because of the spinach and feta cheese, or maybe because they reminded me so […]
Stuffed Mushrooms
Originally published on March 29, 2016 Ah, stuffed mushrooms. They’ve always been one of my very favourite appetizers, which is why I’m surprised it took me so long to make them myself. While doing so, I also inadvertently introduced Madison to one of her new favourite appetizers, so I recommend that, for preparation’s sake, you make a lot of […]
Goat Cheese Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes
Originally published on October 27, 2016 These delicious little stuffed tomato nuggets were whipped up as a quick appetizer on an episode of Dinner Party Wars, a show that’s was aired on the Food Network until recently. Shocked that the hosts didn’t have anything for their guests to nibble on as soon as they walked through the door, […]
Figs Stuffed with Goat Cheese
Originally published on December 28, 2017 Fresh figs are really hard to find around here. I’m sure if they were more accessible, I’d make them (and eat them!) a whole lot more than I do now. They’re one of those fruits that is almost like candy to eat, but so much better. I made these […]
