Holiday Kale Salad
The role of salad maker has somehow become my job at any and all family gatherings. I served this holiday kale salad at Christmas a couple of years ago, and it was a big hit with my family. This salad is on the lighter side …

Frizzled Green Beans with Crispy Shallots
My family has been making some version of frizzled green beans as a holiday side dish for years. This year I decided to level the recipe up with the addition of crispy shallots, and the result is epic. With just seven ingredients and under 25 …
Roasted Spatchcock Chicken with Root Vegetables
During the colder months of the year nothing is cozier than a roast chicken dinner. My Roasted Spatchcock Chicken with Root Vegetables is perfect for an intimate dinner party, a small holiday meal, or a self-care night in! Roasting the root vegetables in the same pan as the chicken adds an extra layer of tastiness and technically makes it a one-pan meal. The leftover drippings get put to work to make a delicious, buttery pan sauce to smother your roasted chicken and veg in. Continue reading Roasted Spatchcock Chicken with Root Vegetables

Bonnemaman’s Chicken Cutlets
I was fortunate to grow up with the most incredible grandparents. My grandmother, who we called Bonnemaman because of her half-French heritage, was a huge part of the lives of me and my siblings. There were many nights in our childhoods spent at our grandparents’ dining …
Cranberry Walnut Sourdough Bread
This Cranberry Walnut Sourdough Bread is inspired by a loaf of the same flavour from The Collingwood Bread Company, a popular bakery in the South Georgian Bay region where I grew up. The first time I tried this flavour combo, I was immediately in love and knew I needed to recreate it in my own kitchen. Coincidentally, this loaf is also the perfect addition to your holiday table with the inherently festive and cozy vibes of the cranberries and walnuts.

Fall Harvest Salad
I’m a planner, which means I like to plan out a schedule for content and recipes far in advance of the season they would be shared in, but sometimes in the middle of the season, ideas pop into my head that are just too good …
Sourdough Apple Fritter Focaccia
I have had many requests to share this Sourdough Apple Fritter Focaccia recipe—mostly from my roommate’s coworkers. The concept for this recipe was born last fall when I experimented with the addition of apples and cinnamon to my sourdough focaccia. As you can imagine, the …
Honeynut Squash Rigatoni
‘Twas the fall of 2024, and I had created a recipe failure of mass proportions. The silver lining to this culinary atrocity was that it inspired the pivot that led to this Honeynut Squash Rigatoni, which, I am happy to report, is far from a culinary atrocity. The first rendition of this recipe was a butternut squash lasagna with sautéed oyster mushrooms and lots of cheese. In theory, the idea was great; in execution, it was a major flop. Lasagne was not the appropriate medium for the delicious butternut squash ricotta filling. Flash forward a year, and I’ve revamped the original recipe to use deliciously sweet honeynut squash as the base for a velvety and luxurious sauce to coat rigatoni noodles and those gorgeous sautéed mushrooms.
