Inspired by one of my favourite summer salads, the sweet corn-based succotash, this Succotash Pasta Salad is perfect for these late summer days as we transition back into routines with the beginning of September. This salad is perfect for serving at a summer BBQ or …
I think orecchiette might be the perfect pasta shape to serve with a cream or cheese-based sauce. Hear me out! The little hat-shaped noodles hold onto the sauce in a way that I love, where some of the sauce gets trapped on the inside of the noddle.

I’m a bit of a meat lasagna hater. For whatever reason, I have always enjoyed vegetarian lasagna more than its meat-filled counterpart. Something about the way the cheese mingles with the vegetables is just so yummy. This Spring Lasagna recipe is a spring twist on …
I’m back with another tasty recipe for my Meals in Minutes series, the series where I share dinner recipes you can make in under an hour. I have a deep love for pita wraps and shawarma, which inspired this recipe for Chickpea and Halloumi Sheet …
To me, this Spring Crunch Salad is the epitome of spring.
