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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Bruschetta Pizza with Balsamic Glaze

Since posting about the almighty green pizza last summer, I've been on the hunt for a reliable dough that settles my pizza satisfaction and costs less than buying pre-made flatbreads or dough from the grocery store. Pizza is like a chef's playground--there's too many options for ingredients that will make the perfect pie, yet also [...]

Filet Mignon with Peppercorn Cream Sauce

12 Days of Christmas with LG,BE Day 10: An evening winter grill, anyone? I got really luxe with my lobster fettuccine earlier this week, but I also figured it's pretty fair to share a luxe 'turf' option too. In my boyfriend's opinion? That always means FILET + since I'm the 'mastermind behind flavour' according to [...]

Lobster Fettuccine

12 Days of Christmas with LG,BE Day 8: Hey guys, I know I am 1 day behind on my 8th day of Christmas (so sorry!) but I'm back! Sometimes you need a a tiny break when you're go-go-go all the time, (I'm human!!) , but I hope you'll forgive me because I have a really [...]

Whole Roast Chicken with Garlic Thyme Butter

12 Days of Christmas with LG,BE Day 5: I will be the first to admit that my first roast chicken experience was a complete failure. What day did it happen on, you ask? Why, only Thanksgiving! (Yes, I made chicken instead of turkey on Turkey Day since it was a humble company of two). I [...]

Baked Citrus Salmon with Avocado Salsa

12 Days of Christmas with LG,BE Day 4: Winter dishes are usually portrayed as hearty stews, comforting casseroles, or meat-heavy classics.... but I'm here to expand your perspective my friends! Salmon is a delicious fish that's just as adaptable for winter-eating as us Canadians are throughout the seasons. Salmon has this richness from all of [...]
