Forget Kyle’s favourite pasta, this is MY new favourite. I’ve mentioned my love of one pan dinners and this recipe ticks that box and does not disappoint. Would you believe it’s from the NYT Cooking site? Have you checked that out yet? Don’t make me shout at you! The recipe can be found HERE, but […]

Kyle’s Favourite Pasta
You may have noticed that we eat A LOT of grains in this house. In particular, we eat a ton of pasta. I’ve tried an enormous number of pasta recipes, but after I made THIS last week, Kyle declared it his favourite pasta dish. That’s no small feat. He’s a really tough critic. I hope […]
Halloumi
Halloumi is great. It isn’t super popular, so if you haven’t tried it, it’s kind of like a squeaky, salty cheese that really needs to be fried to be appreciated. I’m playing catch-up on posts after a ridiculously busy week of work and 4 days with commutes home exceeding an hour and a quarter. Not […]
Classy Pasta
This is one classy meal. It just looks so smart. It’s the kind of thing you could throw together in minutes if you were suddenly cooking for a group. Toss it on to a the centre of plate and sprinkle with some parmesan and you’re good to go. This recipe is another NYT Cooking victory. […]
This requires effort…
I’ve challenged myself to come up with seven days of interesting vegetarian recipes. More often than not, I feel like I could be vegetarian 100% of the time, but then I really like bacon. For the first day of the challenge, I went with my old standby: NYT Cooking. I found a recipe for spicy […]
Easiest spring time dessert
I’m a recent rhubarb convert. I wasn’t a fan until the last couple of years. Now, it’s probably my most favourite spring flavour. A little while ago, I decided to make a rhubarb crumble and I have to say it turned out fantastically! The recipe is from Jamie Oliver’s website, though it appears to be […]
Middle Eastern Herb & Garlic Chicken
Back to the NYT Cooking website for this one. I will admit that it is pretty high on the hassle scale and prep time is about 30-45 minutes depending on your chopping speed. I will also admit that the hassle is totally worth it and this is another really great recipe that is sure to […]
Coconut Curry Noodle Bowl
Weeknight meals. They’re killing me. I’m trying to stay inventive. Kyle and I have a meal deal where the person who is off or home first makes dinner. Basically, this is just a deal that I make dinner every day except when he’s off. I really lost out on this one. Last night, I decided […]
Microgreens with Pea Pesto and Pasta
A bit of a tongue twister if you say the name of this recipe out loud. This was another jackpot recipe from the Longo’s magazine that can be found HERE. This recipe takes like spring. It could not taste more like spring if you ate it while sitting in a field of tulips while lambs […]
Short Ribs
OK, I’m into this one. I made the marinade for the short ribs just before making the crispy chickpea thing on Monday and they were ready to pull out of the fridge Tuesday, thrown on the BBQ and on to my plate in a matter of minutes. I’m really into this whole meal planning for […]
