Caramelized Pork Taco Recipe
I’m obsessed with DIY dinners. You know the kind: your friend invites you over for a nice sit-down dinner. You’re expecting something plated, maybe a fancy pasta or a steak. Then they whip out the grill and all of...
Coconut Almond Rice Krispie Treat Recipe
Rice Krispie treats bring me straight back to childhood. There were one of the first things I made in the kitchen. I remember bringing a rice krispie treat home (my daycare teacher did a lesson on measuring) and I was so...

I’m in Summerland, BC for a wedding this weekend (congrats Klaus + Marie!) and it’s gorgeous, but not as summery as I was expecting! It’s totally reminding me that I should eat as many summer salads as I can,...
How to Make Teriyaki Chicken
Teriyaki chicken used to be the only thing I ate at Japanese restaurants. My dad tried to get me to eat sashimi, but as a 7-year-old, raw fish kind of grossed me out. I got over that pretty quickly though...
Squid Ink Pasta with Shrimp and Burrata Recipe
Squid ink is kind of a weird ingredient – jet-black, inky and distinctively rich and briny. It pairs well with, you guessed it, seafood. Last year, while traveling through Europe, I saw it everywhere: in pasta, in rice and...
Peach Pistachio Caramel Crumble Recipe
I used to LOVE eating canned peaches. The syrupy sweetness, the strange canned mealy texture, the convenience of those little snack cups – they were the perfect treat for my five-year-old self. I can’t remember the last time I ate...

The past week I spent a lot of time reading, enjoying the sun, and doing one of what I consider a most indulgent past time – watching movie trailers. Mike and I don’t go to the theatres a lot – I prefer...
What's in my Kitchen: Utensils Edition
I decided to start a buying guide, just because so many people ask me what’s in my kitchen. This series started out life as “The Best (fill-in-the-blank)” but some people are a bit fanatical about the phrase “the best.”...
Fully Loaded Baked Potato Salad Recipe
Potato salad. Definitely the salad I make a beeline to at all picnics, barbecues and potlucks. Often I’m disappointed so, to negate that, I’m usually the one bringing potato salad to the party. This is a super quick, super easy...
Taiwanese Meat Sauce and Rice Recipe
Do you guys ever miss high school? Let me clarify – I don’t mean the school part of it, or the cliques or classes, I just mean the after school snacks. Man, after school snacks were the bomb. Snacks...
Buttermilk Waffle Recipe with Bourbon Cherry Sauce
A couple of weeks ago we had houseguests. One of them wanted to head out for Sunday brunch, but I was feeling entirely too lazy to put on real clothes and head out so the only logical thing to...

Happy August guys! I feel like I say this every month, but I just can’t believe how fast July has flown by. I’m looking forward to those long, lazy days of the end of summer and dare I say...
