Ham and Cheese Waffle Recipe

Growing up waffles came out of boxes, not waffle makers, so you can imagine how excited I was when I discovered that Mike had a waffle maker. Soon I was pumping out all sorts of waffles: liege, chocolate, blueberry.…

Parmesan Fennel Shortbread Recipe

I know, I know, it seems like everything I post on this blog has fennel in it. What can I say? I love the stuff! While flipping through latest article of Bon Appétit I came across a photo of…

Mushroom Bean Salad Recipe

Living in Vancouver makes it pretty easy to drive down to America — the border’s close so it doesn’t feel like a huge production and Seattle is far enough away to feel like you’re taking a mini-vacation. Sometimes Mike…

Fennel Pork Meatball Recipe

I first had fennel sausage at Campanglolo, a fun, rustic Italian restaurant in Vancouver. The sausage was scattered on a delicious pizza with just the right amount of crisp and chew. The pizza was fantastic, but the fennel sausage…

Pineapple Guacamole Recipe

This sweet and spicy pineapple guacamole recipe is the simplest and best twist on guacamole ever. Everything you need, nothing you…

Churros Recipe

I don’t think I’ve every met anyone who doesn’t like churros. Deep fried dough rolled in cinnamon-sugar? What’s not to love?! Churros are best straight out of the oil when they’re warm and somehow manage to be crispy…

Chouquette Recipe

Biting into a chouquette is a little like biting into a soft, rich, eggy, cloud topped with crunchy sugar. My first taste of these slightly-sweet treats was in Nice, France. Tummy rumbling, Mike and I headed into a bakery.…

Bacon Jam Recipe

I love bacon. It was one of the few things I would eat as a picky child, much to the dismay of my mom. (Other choice items included plain white rice and Coco Pebbles). If they had bacon jam…

Shrimp Risotto Balls

The first time I ever made risotto it took forever. I stirred until I thought my arm would fall off. As much as I'd like to say that the result …

Chow Town: What to Eat at Lollapalooza 2017

WOOT! I am super excited because as you read, Mike and I are on our way to Lollapalooza! I'm most excited to be seeing The Killers, Lorde, Chance the Rapper, …

Easy Weeknight Coconut Curry Braised Chicken Legs Recipe

Easy, braise-y, beautiful. I'm a sucker for punny plays on words and easy weeknight recipes, so when I saw a Bon Appetit article claiming "These Braisey Chicken Legs in Coconut …

Japan’s Famous Nogami Shokupan Bread: People are Lining Up for Hours for this Fluffy White Bread

On our last day in Tokyo, Mike asked me what I wanted to do. I said, “I’m good with anything!” And it was true, I really was. Our trip to …

Mini Corn Muffin Recipe

Is it just me or is everything better when it’s miniaturized? Regular sized corn muffins are great too, but miniaturize them and you definitely have a hit on your hands. Especially when they’re studded with real corn and then…

Mini French Onion Mac and Cheese Recipe

My earliest memory of mac and cheese is of that magic (or horrifying) combination of neon orange powder and straight macaroni noodles. One bite and I was hooked. It’s been many years since I’ve had Kraft Dinner, but I’ve…

Mini Burger Recipe

When I was brainstorming ideas for the savoury bottom tier of our afternoon beer, mini burgers immediately came to mind. Mini burgers are the tiny tea sandwiches of the burger world. Super simple, super tasty. This is barely a…

Mini Twice Baked Potatoes Recipe

Potatoes are one of my favourite foods. So much so that I have received countless potato cookbooks as gifts. I’ve never actually made anything from these cookbooks though – one of the reasons why I love potatoes so much…
