It's summer and I haven't been doing as much cooking as normal. There are too many patios to visit, friends to see, and outdoor fun times to be had that I'm really making salad and fast suppers for the most part. This dish is a great meal because it's pretty fast to...
I love fish but I don't cook it as often as I'd like. I don't know about you but buying fish has gotten complicated - farmed, wild, organic, sashimi grade, flash-frozen, sustainable. Like I just want fish. But I just avoid buying it more often because I'm confused. So...
Spring is here! Smell ya later Old Man Winter. I'm so over you. I feel like everyone had a spring in their step today, the day was longer, and the city was a little happier. Didn't you just feel like you had more time in your day? That being said, you probably want...
As much as I love fall, with the changing leaves and fabulous fashion options, it's also flu and cold season for many. People at work seem to be dropping like flies, myself included. Times like this call for congee - a soupy savoury Chinese rice...
Classics. Perfect anytime, anywhere, and never go out of style. Here's a healthy update to the classic tuna salad sandwich. Bye bye mayo. Hello avocado. This version is full of protein and good fats, is heart healthy, and loaded with lots of flavour. I've named...

The other night, we had a friend come over for dinner last-minute. I had already planned on making potato leek soup but wanted to step it up for our guest. So I took my simple potato soup and turned it into a seafood chowder by adding some baby clams, scallops and...
Happy Cinco de Mayo! The fifth of May is a day of celebration and reminds me of all the fun times I had living in Arizona, enjoying all the benefits of living in a mucho Mexican-influenced town. This salad is so fresh and flavourful, yet hearty and packed with...
I'm always on the hunt for recipes that are a) simple/fast b) delish and c) healthy (and of course gluten-free) and these Thai shrimp skewers get top points in all categories. You can easily make these skewers after a long day of work and commuting (like I did today)...
This dish is hearty, deliciously satisfying, and super easy to make - it's a variation of traditional Mexican tortilla chicken soup. Suprising, even though I lived in Arizona where Mexican food is amazing and bountiful, I didn't make this soup until I got back to...
