Quiche is one of the ultimate brunch foods. It’s pretty healthy. There’s no shortage of fat (cream and cheese) and I wasn’t very light handed with the salt on this one either. That being said, each slice is packed full of protein and nutrients from the kale, mushrooms and other veg, so I’ll take it….

Sweet and Spicy Chipotle Poppers
Mini sweet peppers, stuffed with smoky, cheesy spread, breaded, and fried. You can’t go wrong. I know, I know, the holidays are almost over and everyone has gained 10 pounds and feels like if they eat cheese again they’ll die. Give it a week and you’ll be ready for these, I promise. These are a…
Crisped Rice Cheese Wafers
As I’m sure many of you did over the holidays, I over-indulged. Chocolate, cheese, bread, booze…almost every single day to the point where I feel I could live off smoothies and soup forever. Of course that only lasts a day until I rediscover my love for pizza, but still, I try. These wafers are honestly…
Smoky Sweet Potato Cheddar Soup with Chipotle Peppers
Comfort foods tend to be super greasy and carb-packed, but not all of them have to be that way. I mean, I don’t complain if they are. I’m not likely to turn down a big bowl of homemade mac ‘n’ cheese…if I do, there’s something wrong. That being said, sometimes a bowl of soup can…
Greek Feta, Sun-Dried Tomato and Pistachio Truffles
These truffles are your next party staple. A step beyond plain cheese and crackers, while still being easy enough to make so that they don’t consume your whole day. I love them for a few reasons: Anything encrusted in pistachios is guarenteed to be good. It’s essentially a ball of cheese. No complaints there. The…
Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese with Mushrooms and Shallots
Bummed out by the cold weather? Mac n’ cheese solves all problems. I made a Baked Macaroni and Cheese With Panko a while back, but I have to admit the stovetop version is much better. I personally think the cheesier, creamier and thicker, the better. Also, I don’t know if anybody else has run into this…
Glazed Baked Bourgogne with Walnuts
If you’re a fan of cheese, you’re a friend of mine. Bourgogne is a french cheese similar to brie, but more potent in taste—especially when melted. The texture is basically the same as brie (soft, runny when warmed up, gooey) but there’s a bit of a blue-cheesy type taste as well. My mom once glazed…
Savoury French Toast Breakfast Sandwich
Let’s talk for a second about hangovers. I had a really nasty one this past weekend, and as many of you may know, your appetite can either be non-existent or rampant. I tend to get much pickier and want something that will fuel me more than plain toast. Enter french toast, a great eggy bread…
Creamy Chipotle Enchiladas
This was my first attempt at any kind of enchiladas, and I have to say it was a good one. They aren’t quite traditional because they’re stacked instead of rolled, but they manage to hold in all the spice and flavour (plus the fried egg on top works really well). I adapted this recipe from…
Drunk Broccoli and Two-Cheese Soup
Cooking with beer is a pretty sweet deal all around. First off, it gives a huge flavour kick so you don’t need to add any salt or vinegar or any of those soupy tricks. Second of all, you can sample your ingredients as you go (meaning you can drink while you cook). I guess you…
