It’s pasta o’clock and I’m switching it up today with this tortiglioni in a creamy beet sauce. It’s pink, so you know it’s going to be good! I’m always diverting from traditional pasta sauces because life is too exciting to do boring things. The method this recipe follows is the tried-and-true method I use for…

Coconut Lime Cilantro Rice
Someone PLEASE bring me back to Southeast Asia so I can eat the best rice dishes on the planet… Please? I traveled to SE Asia during the summer of 2017. Those were the days, man. It was like 6 weeks of pure foodie inspiration. Rice, curries, fresh fruit, toasties from the 7/11…If you know, you…
Creamy Vegan Mushroom Rigatoni
There was one time in my life when I hated mushrooms. Can you even believe that? What was I thinking. Now I love those little fungi so much. That’s why I had to dedicate this pasta to them – to say I’m sorry for a lifetime of neglect, and it won’t happen again. One thing…
Middle Eastern Orzo Pilaf
What happens when the Middle East meets the Mediterranean? Only the greatest of things! Okay, I am in love with all flavours of all regions of the world (literally), but Middle Eastern…AND Italian?! Two heavyweights in the culinary world and I’m here for it! Like a hundo P’s. Let me break down this fusion for…
Roasted Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Crouton Skewers
What’s better than tomato soup and grilled cheese when the weather starts to get chilly?! Here’s a hint: It starts with “n” and ends with “othing.” Tomato season is over where I am from, but soup season is just beginning, so I had to grab one more batch of fresh tomatoes to use to make…
Homemade Pumpkin Puree
We don’t buy our pumpkin puree, nah, we make our own! Because, why not?! Have you ever seen homemade pumpkin puree? It’s a completely different colour than the one from the can, and you know what that means. Less guck. WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? The puree from the store often includes preservatives, such as sugar and…
Gluten Free Crepes with an Apple Cinnamon Compote
I was recently sent a soup maker in the mail. It has become one of my favourite small appliances because of it’s versatility and ease of use. What does that have to do with these crepes, you ask? I made them in it. It’s not just a soup maker, peeps, and you can find it…
Chocolate Hummus
I’m shook. One week ago, this was not a food I had ever heard of, and let me tell you…I know most foods. My coworker had asked me if I had ever tried “chocolate hummus,” and the answer was “no” but that I “definitely needed to.” I asked him what was in it, and he…
Grilled Peaches with Cinnamon Coconut Whipped Cream and a Balsamic Reduction (Vegan & GF)
I’m not done with peaches yet, y’all. Keep ’em coming! This recipe is one of my favs and it is completely vegan, gluten-free and refined-sugar free. So really, you can have it for breakfast. Okay, picture this – you are watching the abnormally late NBA playoffs (thanks, Covid), and you’re eating your wings, nachos and…
Caramelized Peach and Pecan Oatmeal
Do you ever get emotional when you think of in-season produce? Like, can this Earth BE any more perfect? How brilliant is it that the planet has different growing seasons for different fruits and vegetables?! That way, we have the opportunity to diversify our diet and the chance to miss the bounties of each season…
