Halloumi, Peach and Arugula Salad
I know….I’ve been pushing peaches for the last couple of weeks. But I can’t help it – they are so good right now! This simple salad is super delicious, easy to make, interesting and really shows off those peaches 😊…
5-ingredient love balls
There is a story behind the name. I do a lot of cycling, especially in Mont Tremblant. We go to this amazing coffee shop mid-ride called O’cafe, in the old village of Tremblant. It’s fabulous and the owner and staff…
Charred Figs | Manchego | Honeyed Walnuts
Have you ever dipped a sharp cheese in honey? If you haven’t, you need to try it! The combination is so flavourful and fantastic. And to make it even better, try adding grilled figs, oozing with their summer juices and…
Kickin’ Strawberry Margarita
I very rarely post recipes for summer cocktails, mostly for (selfish) reasons. I’m not much of a cocktail gal. I’m also not a fan of sweet drinks. I also don’t love cold drinks or anything fizzy. Geez, I sound high…

Creamless Asparagus Soup with Whole Grain Croutons
Honestly, this is one of my most favourite soups of all time. It is creamy (without adding cream), fresh tasting, easy to make and healthy. I serve it when I need a soup to entertain with or as a weeknight…
Spinach and Ricotta G’nudi
I know its spring and the need for comfort food is not as pressing, but with all that is going on in the world, we need Gnudi! This recipe is really a hybrid of Gnocchi and Gnudi. Traditionally, gnudi is…
Silan Roasted Turkey Breast
I know its not Thanksgiving right now… so the idea of cooking turkey is not top of mind… but this big bird is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. For me, this particular recipe actually screams summer because of the…
