Ok, before we get into this mucho delicious holiday staple, can we chat about the debate surrounding the dish’s name? I’ve always referred to it as stuffing. Growing up, we had stuffing next to our turkey – a stuffing that was never actually stuffed into the bird’s hoo-ha. All was well in the world until […]
I don’t know about your Thanksgiving dinners, but until I met my partner, mine were a blend of chaos, stress-induced pit stains and a mediocre bird. Maybe it’s the multiple components that go into a turkey dinner or perhaps it’s simply my panicky personality that’s to blame, but the festive gatherings were enough to make […]
Can I start by saying that my life wasn’t complete until these browned butter pumpkin pancakes came along? They’re so freakin’ delicious that I kind of want to write them a lover letter, but that would be weird, so I’ll just whisper sweet nothings to the stack in between nibbles instead. I don’t even care […]
Want to know what’s better than a pumpkin pecan blondie? A pumpkin pecan blondie smothered in cream cheese glaze, that’s what. Honestly, what dessert wouldn’t benefit from a little (or a lot) of cream cheese glaze drizzled over it? The toasted pecans also bring a lot to the table, balancing the sweetness of the glaze […]
In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been on the donut train lately. Honestly, how could I not be when they’re so darn easy to make? This time I went for pumpkin (hey, it’s fall and I’m basic) topped with a maple glaze. I’d like to say that I shared them with my family, but that […]
Pumpkin season is here people and I’m not mad about it! For me, pumpkin season 2020 means cozy sweaters, warm drinks and the kids making their much anticipated return to school after an excruciatingly long hiatus (Hallelujah baby Jesus). Listen, I think that we can all agree that we adore our children. We cradled them […]
Apologies in advance to all of my lactose-intolerant friends out there, because this four cheese mac ‘n cheese recipe is NEXT LEVEL. Not only does it have my four favourite cheeses incorporated into the recipe, but I’ve also topped it with an everything bagel and bacon crumb so like, yeah – totally mind blowing. I […]
It’s no secret that I like to eat, so when the Murphy Hospitality Group (MHG) approached me with a possible partnership, it was a no-brainer. If you’ve never heard of MHG, here’s a little bit of background: in 1980, owners Kevin Murphy and his wife Kathy opened their first restaurant. Fast forward to today and […]
Crème brûlée: the George Clooney of custards. Seriously though, while the creamy dessert is technically just a baked custard, it’s brought to a whole new level of sexy through the process of torching the top, creating the sheer, crackly layer of caramelized sugar we know and love. This simple crème brûlée recipe is made with […]
Every summer, we load the kids in the car and head to Prince Edward Island. My partner’s family owns a farm in DeSable and a cottage in Brackley, and I’m insanely thankful to have the opportunity to spend time so much time there. My in-laws are also the sweetest people on the planet, and don’t […]
