Southern comfort food gets reimagined and de-glutenized in this sandwich in waffle form - crispy, cheesy, savoury, and full of big flavours. I've made two versions here - one vegetarian and with spicy turkey sausage. Either way, these waffles are perfect for...

Pasta Alla Norma
This pasta is a simple and easy dinner that's satisfying and ready in about 20 minutes. For many folks, school is starting soon (where the heck did summer go??) and having some throw together meals in the rotation is always key. This vegetarian meal is full of yummy...
Grilled Zucchini with Herb Dressing
Here's an easy side for your next barbecue or weeknight dinner. This flavourful herb-filled dressing, which is a cross between pesto and salsa verde with a hint of Caesar dressing, is versatile and great on grilled vegetables, chicken, steak, or fish. The best part...
Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
Ever since the new year started, I've sort of been on a lucky cooking streak. New recipe attempts and even old favourites were turning out yummy. However, as of late, I have entered into a bit of a slump. Friday, my sticky rice came out bland, and well, not really...

Jerk Chicken Tacos with Sweet Mango Pepper Salsa
*Jerk Alert* These are not your typical tacos. I heard about this amazingly unusual food truck in LA that does Korean BBQ tacos (think short rib tacos and kimchi quesadillas) and a lightbulb went off. Tacos, like pizza and sandwiches, can be topped with just about...
Mexican Salad with Honey Lime Dressing
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...
