Appy December, guys! As heavy as this year has been, it certainly has gone by in a flash. I will not peak your holiday stress more by giving you the countdown, but seriously, I’m feeling a little unprepared. I still have 99% of my Christmas shopping to do, so while it may look like I have my holiday ducks in a row with some of
I don’t know about you, but our Cucina has turned into one, big holiday food workshop over here! We have lots of simple, delicious recipes coming at’cha in the weeks ahead that we think your families will love to make together and enjoy savouring the season with, even amidst the holidays that are looking a lot different this year. Today we’re sharing a super easy
It’s hard to believe we’re in the midst of November with the Summer after Summer weather we’ve been gifted this week in our neck of the woods – warm enough we had to pull the shorts back out for our gang! Coupled with the massive historical turning of the tide for our friends & family in the USA yesterday, it felt like a great time
Behind the blog, life wasn’t all yummy recipes & outdoor adventures this week, so you bet DadChef & I turned to one of our healthy coping mechanisms – finding some culinary calm cooking up all the things in la Cucina, silly stupid kitchen dances & a toast to walking through hard parenting things with the biggest glass of Cab Sav ;). We know families are
We’ve had this recipe in drafts for a while now, and I don’t know about you, but this time of year always has me craving comforting pasta dishes. This easy-peasy Tex Mex Pasta Bake is a Taco Night leftover makeover I made using all the leftover taco bar fixings plus a few other simple ingredients.

I love that you really can’t make a bad batch, recipes don’t have to be exact to be delish, and they’re a great way to use up all the wilting veggies lingering in the fridge. We have lots to share with you as the cold
You know those meals where when you’re eating it, you barely speak to your loved ones because it’s just SO dang good? This One-Pan Butternut Squash + Turkey Gnocchi recipe was one of those dishes. DadChef and I looked at each other wide-eyed knowing the feeling was mutual – this recipe is YUM-aze! It almost feels fancy, but I’ll tell ya, there is certainly
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
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
When the temps around here are still feeling a whole lot like Summer, but we’re also on the eve of Autumn, this Grilled Haullomi Power Bowl + Homemade Garlic Dill Dressing Recipe is a great segue recipe into all the hearty meals of Fall.
