Root Vegetable & Egg Skillet

Root Vegetable & Egg Skillet

Brunch food is my favourite category of food—anything brunch and I’m in—specifically savoury brunch food. When I was in university, I used to order this potato and egg breakfast skillet from our on-campus restaurant, and it was so good; tbh, I could go for that right now. I knew I needed a breakfast skillet recipe on the blog, but I wanted to step away from the traditional egg and potato combo, so instead my root vegetable & egg skillet recipe uses sweet potatoes and beets as the base. Everything is cooked in one large skillet, so minimal mess, and is on the table in under an hour. Continue reading Root Vegetable & Egg Skillet

Earl Grey & Blood Orange Scones

Earl Grey & Blood Orange Scones

Earl Grey is a tea that lends itself so well to baked goods. I was inspired by a couple of blood oranges sitting on my kitchen counter to pair the flavours of Earl Grey and blood orange in a flaky, delicious scone. The zest from the blood orange elevates the existing citrus notes in the tea, and the Earl Grey adds a subtle floral tone, which is delightful. Served with a big mug of tea and a side of jam, these scones are the perfect afternoon snack or morning treat. Continue reading Earl Grey & Blood Orange Scones

Blushing Rose Cocktail

Blushing Rose Cocktail

Every year from mid-January to early February, Dine Out Vancouver graces our city. During Dine Out, hundreds of restaurants across the city offer curated, fixed-price tasting menus to diners. Last year, we had a delicious Dine Out meal at a restaurant called Archer, which sadly isn’t there anymore, and I was served the most delicious cocktail, you guessed it, the Blushing Rose Cocktail. I was so enamoured with this drink that I made sure to take a picture of the ingredients listed on the menu. Continue reading Blushing Rose Cocktail
