California Love – we’ve got our minds on Cali, and Cali on our minds! Our family vacation to The Golden Coast was one of those plans that flew out the window the last few years, but we’re back in planning mode and bringing a simple recipe forward to commemorate. More of a food-torial then a recipe, these California Dreamin’ Veggie Burgers are a narly idea
I thought I would make it through Easter preparations without using “eggs” as a lead-in to an expressive word, but guys, that’s just not a commitment I can live up to this year 😉 I remember feeling so depleted this time last year fresh to lockdown life, and well, maybe we’re well-adjusted to living life under chronic uncertainty, and we’re feeling a little more hoppy
Our Canadian Thanksgiving is days away & it’s usually my favourite holiday. Gather, eat, savour & reflect on things to be grateful for – the simple things really are everything. This one’s going to be tough, though – our first holiday without Papa and no doubt a huge void will be felt, especially since gathering around a table heaping with delicious food that took all
Like many of you, we’ve been spending a lot of extra time in our cucina of late. While the circumstances are heavy ones, we’ve been trying to make the best of it connecting in creative ways over food. The kids are enjoying getting more involved in meal prep, and we’ve got a silly easy recipe to share we think your budding kid chefs will
We made it through the first week back to school and full schedules, and this 1st weekend of September we’re getting back to batch cooking on Sundays to have some relief during the busy week and to sidestep dinner panic a bit.

We aren’t hosting Easter this year, so brunching in our PJs most of this long weekend it will be! I shared this easy peasy, No-Bake Easter Brownie dessert on IG stories last year and it was a big hit, so thought I’d give it a respectable place on the blog. I love to cook, but I’m definitely #NotABaker, so this super easy, 2-Step Easter treat
After a few weeks of indulging to the max (it was the holidays…we celebrated, and that entails ZERO guilt or punishment), it felt good to get back to healthy eating this weekend. And since you know how much I love sharing cooking hacks, I will declare my new-found love of sheet-pan cooking! After weeks of drooling over recipes in the LCBO Food & Drink
If it still feels too chilly or inconvenient to spark up the grill, and you’re looking for a quick way to use up that thawed chicken in your fridge before it goes bad, these Baked Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches are a nice easy meal idea to add to your rotation this week. Although we love a classic chicken parm, this recipe removes the breading step to
Spring is usually my favourite season – signs of renewal, beautiful buds popping and lots of family celebrations to look forward to. This year feels like a slow creep instead of a leap into the season energy-wise, we’ve got lots on our plate with a fast and full family calendar, and it’s calling for a bit of food revival to keep up. If you’re looking
Food is a connector, a unifier when words are hard to find & emotions hard to process. Our hearts hurt for Ukraine, and Ukrainian people across the globe. Here in Canada (home to a huge population of those with Ukrainian heritage), it’s said many of us are just one degree of separation from friends, family currently in harm’s way in Eastern Europe.
