a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
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 …
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 …
We are officially one month away from Christmas, and I have got baking on my mind! Every year I like to make an assortment of Christmas cookies leading up to the holidays to help get me in the festive spirit and to give as gifts to friends, family, and colleagues. Ginger cookies are one of my favourite classic holiday cookies, so naturally, I needed to develop my own recipe. These Brown Butter Ginger Molasses Cookies are chewy and have a perfectly balanced level of festive spices. The brown butter adds an extra depth of rich, nutty flavour, which I think pairs very nicely with the spices and molasses. Continue reading Brown Butter Ginger Molasses Cookies

Brimming with hearty fall produce and superstar spelt berries, I’m placing this salad firmly in meal salad territory; everything about this salad knocks it out of the park.

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 …
‘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 …
Fall is in full swing here on the west coast; the leaves are changing, there’s a crispness to the air, and I am craving all things cozy. Filled with warming spices, velvety pumpkin puree, and a brown sugar topping, my gluten-free Pumpkin Bread has been my go-to cozy treat as of late. Continue reading Pumpkin Bread
I have to confess, I have been a fennel hater pretty much my whole life. Despite this, I had the bright idea to develop a very crisp and autumnal cabbage-based salad with apple and fennel. I know, I even surprised myself with this! I couldn’t …
