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 [...]
Homemade Pie Crust
Fun fact; I learned how to make pie crust in my grade 10 culinary class (yes, my school had one of those). We did a LOT of baking in that class - it required patience and technique to know exactly when to move onto the next step of the recipe and my teacher was all [...]
Sausage and Quinoa Stuffed Butternut Squash
Thanksgiving is over but autumn continues on in this kitchen. I go through these phases of eating too much butternut squash in early September and then I have to put it away for a while because I know that I'll want it all over again closer to Thanksgiving....and what do you know, I haven't changed [...]
Apple Cranberry Moscow Mule
Slowly, very slowly, I'm appreciating the taste for ginger beer more than I thought I would. Although I love using fresh ginger in stir frys, homemade pho, or when making butter chicken...I wasn't a huge fan of this fizzy/spicy pop-like soda at first. But now????? Obsessed. It goes perfectly with notes of crisp apple and [...]
Spicy Chicken Couscous Bowl
Ahhh, it's that time of year where I want to indulge on heavy comfort food as soon as the weather dips below 20 degrees! But, that doesn't mean that I can't find a dinner option that will keep me nourished and satisfied by using a lot of clean ingredients and is yet, still considered a [...]
Pumpkin Crumble Muffins
I'm sure a lot of people are internally thinking, "YES! Time for pumpkin-flavoured EVERYTHING" as soon as Starbucks starts to debut their new seasonal drinks in late August. My only gripe with pumpkin flavoured anything is that it tends to be so cloyingly sweet that I can only muster a few bites or sips of [...]
Baked Hummus Pasta
Hi guys, I think this may be my new favourite pasta recipe as of late. It's a spin on the ever so popular Tik Tok feta and tomato pasta but completely without dairy and honestly, you can barely tell the difference because the end result is just as creamy and delicious. INGREDIENTS Cooked pasta of [...]
Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad
If you've never grilled a fruit before....I think you need to start this summer. Grilled fruit hits different -- it's a mixture of that char smoky flavour, paired with a naturally sweet bite, and to throw in an even different flavour profile ... throw a little sea salt in there too. *chef's kiss* and if [...]
