🎅LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmas🎅 DAY 7 This one is for all my seafood lover's out there. A relatively quick stew that can be made within an hour, that doesn't break the bank, but definitely makes you feel like you're dining under some twinkly lights in San Francisco at night. The nice thing is that [...]

Orange and Cardamom Softie Cookies
🎄 LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmas🎄 DAY 6 Christmas cookies hold a special place in my heart. My mom, the ultimate baker, would always take the time to bake jam thumbprints, chocolate shortbread, or if we were super lucky, Polish Rogaliki (my absolute favourite without a doubt) over the Christmas break. As kids, we would [...]
Red Moon Over Manhattan & Vanilla Whiskey Soaked Cherries
☃LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmas☃ DAY 5 Soooooo, this may be my new favourite cocktail. I can picture myself sipping this on Christmas Eve night, listening to some jazzy carols and with the fireplace lighting up the room with a cozy glow. I love that this cocktail includes red wine and a very winter appropriate [...]
Seared Scallops with Brown Butter
🎁 LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmas🎁 DAY 4 Last year for 12 Days of LG,BE, I sprinkled in a few different fancy schmancy proteins since it is after all the holidays...but also because I just love trying new seafood dishes and this one has become very popular for me at home as of late. We [...]
Potato, Gruyere & Thyme Tart
🎅LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmas🎅 DAY 3 Does anybody else get super excited when they see something with puff pastry? Or is that just me? Puff pastry makes me think of fine-dining restaurants or super chic brunches with the girls. It adds an element of sophistication and really is not too hard of a product [...]
DIY Shrimp Cocktail
❄LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmas❄ DAY 2 For as long as I can remember, we almost always had a shrimp ring for an appetizer as part of my family's meatless Christmas Eve feast. An odd choice some may say, but for kids who were quickly learning how addicted we were to seafood at a young [...]

🎄LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmas🎄 DAY 1 It's tiiiiiiime. DECEMBER! IT'S HERE. & it's go time. There was no way I wasn't going to start with this appetizer because let me tell you right now, you will be making it more than once. If you're like my friends and family, then you also love snacky [...]
Coconut Chicken Curry
I don't know why it took me so long to give into the flavour of curry but I'm glad I did. Growing up in my household, and for the most part all of our family friends' households, curry was not a spice or a dish that was ever served. Poles are not really into using [...]
Penne alla Vodka
Who is looking for comfort food right about now? Something in a bowl, something easy to curl up on the couch with, something that isn't complicated but yields the most delicious results... listen, I hear you. Last year I shared two of my all-time favourites; the BEST Bolognese and Creamy Butter Chicken. Thiiiis year, my [...]
Mini Pumpkin Spice Tarts
Hi friends! In just a few short days, we will be at the end of pumpkin month. That sadly means no more Starbucks pumpkin cream cold brew, no more pumpkin spice smelling soap, no more pumpkin spice latte coffee creamer to latch onto. These are the saddest days of the season. HOWEVER, if you're like [...]
