Roasted Beet Salad with Feta and Oranges
Beets are a polarizing topic, but even if you are team no-beets, I encourage you to give them another chance. These aren’t the pickled beets from your childhood. Learning to love those was a hard road, but these are different. Instead of sharp and tangy, these are rich, earthy and savoury. Besides, chopping beets is…

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins
Sometimes the line between cupcakes and muffins gets a little blurry. Frosting and pretty decorations may signal a cupcake, but add chocolate chips and skip the icing, and you are definitely in muffin territory. Today I decided to lean in. No, I am not having a chocolate cupcake for breakfast. I am having a double…

Sweet Potato and Black Bean Casserole
Let’s all take a moment and acknowledge one of the unfortunate truths of the universe: sometimes the best tasting food isn’t the prettiest. I’m sure that given enough time someone could make this into an absolutely stunning dish, at home in a restaurant that has a whole galaxy of Michelin stars. I, however, don’t always…

Maple Soy Roasted Chickpeas
Today’s post is a quick one, but I had to tell you about these shockingly delicious roasted chickpeas. I know, that is a big ask of chickpeas, but please trust me, you will be amazed at how good these are. These are incredibly easy to make. The only down-side is that they need to marinate…

Carrot Walnut Muffins with Red Lentils
Carrots for breakfast? If they are good enough for Bugs Bunny, they are good enough for me. Especially if those carrots come in the form of spiced muffins with crunch walnuts. These muffins are like little Trojan horses, but instead of sneaking in soldiers they sneak in fiber and protein. Don’t worry about that though,…

Easy Chocolate Cake
This cake practically makes itself, but no one needs to know that. They don’t need to know that it only requires one bowl, or that you can prepare it in a flash. They also don’t need to know if you happened to make a little bit more cake than you served, just saying… Makes 1…

Easy Homemade Bread
This is not fancy bread. There are no precisely weighed ingredients, sculpted loaf pans or sourdough starters passed down through generations here. Instead, this is a low-fuss bread with ingredients you may already have that will quietly rise on the counter while you are doing other things. It will work with your schedule and in…

French Shallot Soup
I recently put shallots on the shopping list without specifying the amount. I ended up with a LOT of shallots. So, it was decision-time. I could either make a lifetime’s worth of salad dressing or I could try making soup. Guess what I chose… Warning – if you use all shallots, you will be in…

Easy Apple Baked Oatmeal
Welcome to January, the month of new year’s resolutions and nothing but vegetables. I just don’t buy into that, but after a month of eating cookies for breakfast, lunch and dinner I am ready for a bit of a change. That doesn’t mean I don’t want my breakfast to be delicious, though. This baked oatmeal…

2023 Hall of Shame
In celebration of the New Year coming (and my 50th post!!!) I’ve decided to look back at some of the mishaps learning opportunities that I’ve encountered in 2023. Despite the most careful of planning, not everything works out. Some days you just have to open the windows and let the smoke clear, pour yourself a…
