Making your own sauce for pasta is the best! I love being able to have complete control over the ingredients and flavours. If you add vodka sauce to your pasta rotation, you will not regret it! One of my favourite things about vodka sauce is the creamy taste and silky texture of it! The sauce […]
Cooking is a great way to express your creativity by playing around with different ingredients and combinations. If not following a recipe or being creative about ingredients makes you nervous, a great place to start is a stir fry! For your sauce, a great base to start with is soy sauce. From there, there are […]
I have tried almost every technique and method for home made pizza making. I started making my first pizza in grade 7 home economics. It was one of the first things I made in the oven. It opened up my food journey in ways I didn’t realize at the time. We made the pizza with […]
One of my favourite summer hobbies is smoking meat. I look forward to a day off when it’s nice and sunny so I can spend hours smoking various kinds of meat. If you are going to spending the day tending to your charcoal, and slowly roasting meat, it’s always good to fill the grill with […]
Sandwiches are one of my favourite things. I love all kinds of sandwiches: hot, cold, toasted, simple, fancy… I’ll eat them all! Meatball subs can be made in different ways.

One of Danielle’s favourite appetizers! If I want to put a smile in her face, I can just make a tray of these mushroom caps and she will devour them. It all started one date night a few years back. We went for Italian at a local restaurant and they had mushroom caps on the […]
Chicken is so versatile that it can adapt to so many flavours. As much as I dislike bland, flavourless chicken, I love juicy, crispy and flavour packed chicken! Jerk chicken checks off all the boxes. The first time I made this jerk chicken marinade I was blown away by the amount of ingredients. I love […]
This rice dish is quick and easy to throw together. It is another component that will kick your Mexican meal up a notch! We like it as a side with enchiladas, chimichangas, or as a flavourful ingredient to stuff in your burrito. Growing up I was not a big fan of rice. It always felt […]
This shrimp is addictive! I can eat buckets of it. Confession…I may have once made a pile just for myself! This is one of my first experimental “throw things together” recipes. It all started one night a few years ago when I decided that I wanted to grill some shrimp. I threw a few things […]
