Move over #Timbiebs, this Frittelle di Natale Fried Pizza Dough Balls Holiday Tree is what Italian Christmas dolce dreams are made of! I’m not sure there was a delight for my childhood senses more enticing than a fresh plate of Nonna’s Frittelle (aka Pizza Fritta or Zeppole) freshly made on her kitchen counter! They were the bomb dot com and the smell alone felt like
Growing up, Fall marked the start of all the rustic Italian cooking in our home. Simple ingredients combined with seasonal, local harvest not only meant delicious, hearty dinners, but are characteristics of most Italian cuisine. You already know pizza makes a repeat appearance in our recipe archives, not only because it’s one of our family’s favourite foods, but because of it’s versatility and affordability to
Our local Farmers’ Markets began to reopen last month and getting out of the house with DadChef for a bike ride to the one hosted in our local park has been a bit of simple joy and parenting reprieve we need. Strawberry season is always a sweet sign of Summer’s start, and Ontario strawberries are among the sweetest and most delish. There are lots of
EAT. PIZZA. LOVE. Since becoming parents, Valentine’s Day at home has been our norm, so this year won’t feel much different in lockdown times. We’ve been making so many lovey dovey themed recipes for the blog this month, we’ll probably take a bit of a break and do a combo meal of part homemade, part take out to show some local love. Kinda like this
Follow my blog with Bloglovin It’s DadChef’s Birthday week [you can’t see him blushing from the virtual gush ;)], so today’s recipe is in honour of our pizza-loving family man, and we’re celebrating even harder because this Rustic Flatbread Fig & Prosciutto version takes just 10 minutes to make! We haven’t been dining out as much as usual, and would normally take a night
Freshly picked peaches conjure up nostalgia of a Summer visit out West as a kid and wandering the peach orchard in my Grandparents’ backyard in Kelowna, BC. We’re nearing the end of peach season, but I’m hoping you may have a bunch lingering to give this Peach Pizza with Herbed Ricotta a spin (*the late season variety are best for cooking!*). We made this with a
We had a fun little day trip out to the quaint little spot Port Perry in Scugog, Ontario this past weekend and picked up a fresh haul of fruit and veg at their lakefront farmers’ market – in-season peaches & zucchini – and among other recipes, got inspired to make a traditional Zucchini Pizza Bianca. In Italy, Pizza Bianca (“white pizza”) is a pie made
For those of you who’ve followed our blog and channels for a while, you know “zah” is kind of a big deal around here and “Pizza Night” is a regular one in our dinner rotation. I’ve also shared how I’m committing to a healthier lifestyle this year in partnership with Weight Watchers Canada, so spending the day with the WW Canada’s Chef Tyler and cooking
Charlevoix, Quebec is a beautiful, awe-inclusive region that offers a wide range of family-friendly activities in the winter. Just 1 hour outside of Quebec City, Charlevoix’s proximity to the winter fun of snow-covered mountains, the St. Lawrence River, and stunning natural surroundings to wander, plus it’s delectable, internationally renowned farm-to-table cuisine, offers families of all ages and tastes the opportunity to immerse in this lesser
DadChef and I just celebrated our 17th Anniversary (*28 years of couplehood*). Amidst a very fast and full family life, being the “forgot my hockey equipment” fetchers, viral laundry load washers, last minute grocery-getters, “can’t find my library book” finders, and Mom/Dad Uber-drivers, time and energy for romance is beyond minimal. Love isn’t those insta-glamourous, fancy, candle-lit moments, though, is it. It’s a million different
