It is finally here, perfected and ready to share with everyone! Full disclosure, I had a challenging time getting the creative juices flowing to write this one up for you all. For me, this time of year is when I become weirdly obsessed with eating salads, and all the fresh local produce I can. I…

Turnip and Potato Kabobs
As we are heading into BBQ season, but not quite everything grill-able in season. Why not grill some starch! Wait, what? These turnip and potato kabobs are fun, and a different take on just regular side of potatoes. With the fresh dill and olive oil, it gives the freshness summer has to offer. You can…
Happy National Pizza Day
Make your own dough at home and load it up with your favourite toppings.
Sea Salt, Vinegar and Rosemary Beet Chips.
Eating seasonal in the winter time seems like a BIG challenge, almost impossible. But it really is not that hard. There are lots of options: Apples, artichoke, barley, bok choi, beets, broccoli, broccolini, brussel sprouts, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, chard, crimini mushrooms, fennel, garlic, kale, leeks, micro greens, oats, onions, oyster mushrooms, pea shoots, portabello…
The Simple Equation for Roasting Veg
Roasted Veggies are one of my FAVOURITE things to make in the winter time. It is easy, you can add any type of seasoning to create different flavours, and usually, winter veg is nice and hearty and can last for a couple of days for leftover lunches. The best thing about roasting vegetables is that…

Summer is slowly coming to an end, what means the end of my favourite season and the end of fresh local tomatoes. What better way than to make canned salsa with all the tomatoes that have not been eaten and save it for a rainy day in the winter. My friends LOVE this salsa so…
Peach Panzanella Salad
Millions of Peaches, peaches for me. Millions of peaches, peaches for free? Well not quite. Kodi went to the Okanagan for the August long weekend and came home with 20 pounds of peaches. YES, TWENTY POUNDS! WTF (sorry language) am I suppose to do with 20 pounds of peaches?!?!? Besides making my usual suspects (keep…
Couscous Salad for the Summer
This week is my summer salad series! Starting with my couscous salad (recipe below)! I am going to share a few of my favourite summer salads. Some posted here on the gram, and some on my blog. Salads are my favourite for the long hot days in the summer. I find you do not want to…
Cucumber Watermelon Salad
Are you ever lost when it comes to a potluck BBQ, or are you ever sick of bringing the same thing all the time? This salad is a new game changer for me. It is sweet, it is salty, it is spicy, it is love! It only took me 5 minutes to make, and another…
