To All the Meals I've Cooked Before
An open love letter to all the meals I've lovingly prepared and enjoyed
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?
As I get older I find it harder and harder to get into the Christmas spirit, but sugar cookies are one of the failsafe ways to always make me feel festive. These sugar cookies are surprisingly simple and stay nice and soft, which is so essentially to me (what's worse than a hard sugar cookie?!).…
Classic veggie shakshuka is one of my favourite weeknight meals, but recently I've been wanting to expand my repertoire and experiment with new ingredients. I love eating lamb when I go out, but it's often not readily available at my grocery store and honestly, I was a bit intimidated by it. A friend of mine…
I’ve written before about how congee is one of my all-time favourite comfort foods because it’s so versatile and so easy to make. You can use just about any meat or seafood to flavour it and all you need are a few super basic ingredients (rice, ginger and water) to whip it together. I love…
Christmas is officially a month away, which means my holiday baking starts *now*. To kick things off, I decided to make Lara Jean’s Snickerdoodle cookies from the book version of To All the Boys I’ve Loved before - the original inspo for my blog! Lara Jean bakes these cookies for her younger sister Kitty after…
I love a squash soup when the weather starts to get colder - it’s the ultimate cozy food. I’ve made a few different variations in the past, but sometimes the ultra-smooth texture can have me feeling like I’m eating baby food, which is the total opposite of what I’m craving. The spiciness of the Thai…
Lately I've been trying to incorporate more vegetarian recipes into my roster, and to me, the best veggie recipes are when they're so delicious that I forget they're meatless. These cheesy stuffed pasta shells seriously deliver, and I love that I get some additional greens in with the spinach (plus, the colour on the dish…
I love french onion soup, but I've always been intimidated to make it at home because I don't have the proper bowls or ramekins to serve it in, which I thought was an essential to get that perfect cheesy, bready crust on top. My kitchen is pretty tiny, and the last thing I need are…
In cold weather, I always crave big bowls of spicy, slurpy soup to warm me up. I love having tom kha gai soup when I go out for Thai food: it's essentially tom yum soup with coconut milk and the spicy, tangy, creamy flavours hit all the right notes for me. I recently found tom…
