To All the Meals I've Cooked Before
An open love letter to all the meals I've lovingly prepared and enjoyed
To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You officially arrives on Netflix today, so naturally I’m hosting a viewing party tonight. ICYMI: The series is near and dear to my heart (I even wrote about how much it means to me for The Kit!) and it’s actually the inspiration for this blog. I wanted…
I love the sous vide egg bites at Starbucks, but I simply *cannot* bring myself to pay for them when I know I could make a dozen at home for the same price. This very thought was what inspired me to try making my own at home, and these have officially become my hectic morning…
To me, the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift to give or receive is a homemade treat, made with love. This treat is perfect for the baking-averse, because there’s no actual baking involved! It’s kind of like if a Rice Krispie Square and a Snickerdoodle had a baby, flavour-wise. They’re simple enough that you can make them…
I have a steady rotation of soups that I make all winter long, and this soup is a new addition that I can’t get enough of. It’s loaded up with veggies and quinoa, so it’s healthy but still satisfying, and it has a nice kick from the paprika and sausage spice. A note on the…
Eggplant is one of my latest cooking obsessions. I’ve been trying to eat less meat in 2020, and as a result I’ve been exploring more veggies to change things up for my weeknight meals. Prior to this recipe, I’d only ever used globe eggplant (aka American eggplant), and I didn’t realize how many different varieties…
When I was living in Munich a couple years ago with my best friends, there was an Asian restaurant below our studio apartment that had the *best* Thai red curry. I wasn't big into cooking back then, so pretty much every single night that we were home, we'd pop downstairs to pick up an order…
Kimchi Jigae, aka Kimchi Stew, is one of my all-time favourite comfort foods when it’s cold outside. I love going to Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu in Toronto for their big steaming bowls of stew, and this recipe is my at-home take on their kimchi stew with ingredients readily available at my local grocery store.…
Is it a pizza? Is it a naan? Is it a flatbread? I'm inclined to think it's a delicious combination of all three. I love ordering lamb pizza whenever I see it on a menu, but it's hard to come by, so I decided to create my own lazy version at home. I classify it…
This recipe is inspired by my favourite Mushroom Kale Soup from Farm Boy (basically the Canadian equivalent of Trader Joe's). I tried it one day while I was grocery shopping, and have been hooked ever since! After examining the ingredient list, I came up with this dupe recipe to make at home in a nice,…
I came up with this recipe after brainstorming what to bring to my office potluck. Usually I *love* a good sausage roll, but I wanted to make sure the vegetarians in my office could enjoy my contribution too. After generously sprinkling Trader Joe’s Everything But The Bagel on my avocado toast one morning, it came to me: what if I turned an everything bagel with cream cheese into a fluffy, delicate, bite-sized appetizer?
