There are some foods that are nostalgic. People either associate them with a specific person from their child, or maybe an occasion that sticks in their memory. For me, the Bloomin’ Onion is one of those foods. I took a trip to Florida with my family when I was younger, and we went to the…

These are all recipes I have created or adapted myself and tested out!
Quick Multi-Seed Crackers
This was my first attempt at making homemade crackers and all things considered, it went pretty well. The only thing I did wrong with this recipe was I didn’t roll the dough out thin enough so my “crackers” are more like baked pita bread, but they still taste good. One really cool thing about these…
Apple, Goat Cheese and Spinach Salad with White Balsamic and Avocado Dressing
Before you say, “Oh great, another salad” just hear me out. What makes this salad unique is the mix up of different flavour groups. You’ve got apple, which is sweet and has a crunch–then you have goat cheese to balance is out which is soft and savoury. This salad is super fast, easy and yummy….
Double Baked Spaghetti Squash
Spaghetti squash is the ultimate gluten-free substitute for any wheat-based pastas. Unlike regular squash like acorn or butternut where you would just cube it or slice it, spaghetti squash pulls apart into thin edible “threads” which is where it gets its name. It’s easy to roast, doesn’t need lots of seasoning and reheats well if…
Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies with White Chocolate Chips
I first saw the concept of cake mix cookies on Sally’s Baking Addiction, an amazing blog for everything sweet and baked. The recipes and photos are all drool-worthy so check it out if you get the chance! I personally love chewy cookies way more than crunchy cookies, so using cake batter for the dough instead…
Baked Eggs in Tomato Cups
Rushed mornings should not mean no breakfast. You can prep this recipe in 2 minutes the night before (literally) so everything will be ready to go in the morning. Bake the cups while you’re doing your daily morning routine so by the time you’re ready to leave you can eat this and go. This recipe…
Monica’s World Famous Caramel Corn
Caramel corn is the ultimate sweet and salty snack. Coated with brown sugar syrup and tossed with pecans and almonds, you can’t go wrong. When I was a kid, my friend’s mom would make this caramel corn for us whenever she would come to our cottage. It is the best recipe I have ever tasted,…
Vegan Veal Parmesan Sandwich
I just got home from a trip to Florida, and I have to admit America is an odd place to be a vegetarian. Most restaurants didn’t have a single veg item on their menu, and when one man heard I was a vegetarian he jokingly told me to “Go back to my planet”. I loved…
Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Pancakes
In honour of celebrating Pancake Tuesday, I decided to make some sweet potato pancakes with onion and a pretty big kick of spice (you can adjust it if you want it to be mild). They’re packed with protein, easy to make and you’ll definitely want seconds. These pancakes are basically a twist on traditional potato…
Quinoa Pizza Balls
A big complaint from people who are gluten-free is that doughs made without wheat flour are “grainy” and don’t taste authentic. This means no pizza, bread and all those other wonderful doughy foods. For this recipe, instead of subbing out wheat flour for another kind, I just skipped the dough completely. Quinoa and beans are…
