Lockdown times has not made a homemade sourdough bread-maker out of me (yet!), but this Buffalo Chicken Dip Sourdough Bread Bowl is an easy, fantastic option for the homebound hunger games we made with a fresh loaf from our local farm last school break. It’s a great leftover chicken makeover, no-cooking required recipe, uses just 5 easy ingredients and can be laid out with your
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
While I acknowledge the celebration of Easter is much more significant than chocolate bunnies and egg hunts, there is something very beautiful and special about coming together with loved ones during this sacred time to lean into faith (whatever form that takes for each of us), reflect on the sacrifices made so we can gather and an opportunity to be grateful for the gift of
Hints of Spring are in the air! Can you feel the shift in your energy too? Spring is my favourite season for several reasons – the budding blooms, the season we became parents for the first time, usually a time filled with family celebrations & especially for the feeling of renewal & revival it evokes. And how about all the bright, beautiful food that pops
I know, I know – we’re all a wee bit Irish on the Seventeenth o’ March. But really, we are. I on my maternal side, DadChef on his paternal side.

Let’s talk about those plans, shall we?! I had big plans to attempt to make Papa’s Lasagna last week with the ready-to-bake cheat pasta sheets we had to use up in the fridge & forgot to add a few key ingredients to our grocery order. Like so many other plans that have been kiboshed this year, pivoting to PLAN B was in order, and well,
It’s Canadian Agriculture Day today – a chance to celebrate the abundance of incredible food grown in Canada and the hard-working farmers and producers who cultivate it! We’ve been mindful of supporting our local, independent suppliers wherever possible under normal circumstances, but especially so this year. One way is ordering fresh produce straight from your local farms, like the fresh veg + fruit haul
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
Are you tired of all the heart-shaped food shares yet? We hope not because these Blushing Heart Sheet Pan-Roasted Potatoes were a fun spin on a classic family recipe and make a beautiful compliment to all your cold weather comfort food classics – Sunday roasts, chicken dishes, meatless proteins, seasoned fish fillets, or savoury + sauteed veggies – for a subtle nod to the Month
Happy Month of LOVE, all! We’re going on our 5th week of e-learning at home. The kids are managing as best they can, but some days we’ve just needed to be online school rule breakers and fun recipe makers instead. Last week we tried out these Chocolate-Dipped Heart Cookies – 3 ways [because we’re indecisive yet fun like that ;)]: 1) with crushed strawberry-yogurt candies;
