Soups are my favourite recipes to make in the best of times, and during these uncertain ones they’re a great way to ground and calm. I think it’s the aroma swirling around the whole house that I love most. And the smells that came from this simple Potato Leek Soup recipe were next level. We had some wilting potatoes and leeks that needed to be
Whether it’s because our frigid Winter temps are giving you FOGO (fear of going out) or staying in cozies & bypassing the need to arrange a sitter is more favourable, we would agree, date nights in are a total parenting win! It usually involves a crash or two by one of our curious cupids, but we wouldn’t have it any other way 🙂 If food
Our family’s diet doesn’t have a name – we love a variety of foods and don’t have restrictions or allergies to work around. Just like many families we speak to, though, getting more veggies in our meals (and kids’ bellies) is a focus for us, and we love the variety using nutrient-dense cauliflower brings. Blend it for soups, mince it for pizza crust, chop it
We’re easing back into routine over here. Creeping instead of leaping into the new year. And while Dad Chef and I were cooking up a storm over the holidays, being back to the hectic pace of schedules his week has kind of thwarted our momentum and, full disclosure, our meals this week have been a mix of eggs & toast, pasta with butter +
We’re getting set for our traditional New Year’s Eve feast – a medley of seafood dishes I learned to make from my Papa and one’s I’ve enjoyed since childhood on NYE. In fact, what I didn’t know until recently is, so many cultures across the globe enjoy seafood to commemorate a new year. It’s believed eating seafood on the first day of the year will
It’s hard to believe we’re under a month away from Christmas! I haven’t done one bit of shopping yet (welp!), but have got a head start on thinking about what we’re going to have on the menu for our pre-Christmas family gathering. And like most ways I approach our crazy full life lately, we’ll be embracing a holiday entertaining simplified approach! While I typically
We’re back from a fabulous family holiday, but not so wonderful is the post-vacay sickness takedown we’re being hit with this week. The remedy? Recreating this Turkey, White Bean & Kale soup our gang gobbled up a few weeks back when the weather temps dipped. It’s great as a starter to your Fall dinners, holiday menu or just another to add to your family’s “soup
Our weekends are ruled by the hockey schedule of our boys now, but #DadChef and I are making a deliberate attempt to slow down and unplug on Sunday evenings to actually enjoy making a hearty family meal that isn’t rushed and gather together for an end of weekend family feast (just like Nonna used to insist we do when I was growing up). After a
#DadChef and I promised to put together a collection of silly easy recipes for the Fall just in time for “Mission: Divert Dinner Panic” once full schedules kick back in and this one is at the top of the list – our Easy Peasy No-Meat Pasta Sauce we whip up on repeat for a meatless meal option all-year long. It’s seriously so simple, takes just
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. This Balsamic Glaze Pork + Roasted Veggies recipe is a spin on the Sunday classic roast my own parents used to make using
