I think I need to eat more pizza. We've made it a couple times lately, and it's been fun playing with various toppings and flavours. Pizza is such a great blank slate, you can tailor is as much as you want to your personal preferences. It's not just about tomato sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. There are endless other possibilities to create a ...
Simple Summer Potato Salad
You think we'd be sick of potatoes by now. We ate them all winter long, and we continue to eat them now in the midst of summer. Yet it's different somehow... new potatoes seem more suited to summer weather and it doesn't feel weird eating them on warm days.

Roasted Garlic Socca Pizza with Arugula & Tahini Lemon Drizzle
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a great long weekend. It was kind of chilly here, but still sunny for the most part.

So while cleaning out the fridge ...

I dreamt up a dish, layered like a casserole or scalloped potatoes, with hearty layers of lentils nestled in-between. I can't ...
Red Cabbage Nachos with Salsa, Spiced Lentils, & Avocado Sour Cream
On New Year's Eve I was chatting with one of my good friends, Kerry. She lives in Halifax, a three hour time difference from here in Edmonton. As you can imagine we don't get to see each other very often. When she asked me to create a healthy nacho recipe for her, I immediately accepted the challenge. Over the next few days, I pondered ways to ...
