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 so as not to take away from any of the other delicious holiday food on the table, but it still has lots of interesting textures and flavours to create a wonderful, satisfying bite. Every holiday table needs a salad, so why not try this one! Continue reading Holiday Kale Salad

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 …
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 to save for next year. This is exactly how I ended up creating this Fall Harvest Salad. 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 …
