Caramelized Banana Bread with Sea Salt
Remember when I said I was trying to go gluten-free for a while? Well forget that and shift your focus to this amazing banana bread instead. (Read: it didn’t go so well.) This is definitely not the quickest banana bread recipe around, but … Continue reading

Roasted Garlic Butter Mushrooms
Oh yes, they are as good as they sound. And so simple!! Truly a “set it and forget it” kind of recipe, which are always my favourite. I’ve made these a few times now, and Graeme continually refers to them … Continue reading
Quinoa Veggie Sushi
Of course nothing can truly substitute the perfectly sweet, vinegary, sticky, fresh, white sushi rice, but if I’m going to be a total white girl and only eat veggie rolls with lots of pickled ginger, I may as well just … Continue reading

Banana Cake with Vanilla Bean Frosting
I always have such good intentions when I buy bananas at the grocery store, and convince myself to get a nice, big bunch so I can eat one everyday for breakfast. That would be a nice, healthy way to start … Continue reading

Grilled Chocolate Banana Boats
This is definitely the simplest post I’ve ever done. I don’t know if you can even call it a recipe, since it only involves 2 ingredients. When you try this, you’ll wonder how you didn’t think of it first. You … Continue reading

I’m really into squash lately, especially the butternut variety. It’s versatile, filling, easy to cook, and it keeps for ages in the pantry. You can roast it, fry it, steam it, purée it, mash it, you name it, I love it. … Continue reading

Ham & Split Pea Soup
This is such a delicious, hearty, no non-sense recipe, perfect for rainy days. And for that kind of comfort food, I always trust in the one and only Jamie Oliver. When it comes to unpretentious, simple cooking, he knows what … Continue reading
Post-Holiday Leftover Turkey Soup
People always talk about making soup with their leftover holiday turkey, but I’ve always wondered how many people actually do it. After days of preparing and eating and decorating and eating and presents and eating, the idea of saving a … Continue reading
Sugar & Spice Candied Nuts
