it all started with a love for food
This quick minestrone soup is hearty, simple to make, and ready in under 45 minutes, perfect for warming up on chilly days. The recipe was torn out of a calendar from the year I was born and still remains one of my favourite regular soup recipes.
This is my ultimate potato salad recipe – popular at parties and the perfect side dish in summer for ribs, brisket, and more. Make sure you do a double batch for a gathering because it won’t last long! Adapted from the Joy of Cooking.
This is my favourite side dish when I make Indian food but it definitely holds its own! Tender pieces of potato and cauliflower are cooked in a flavourful masala that emphasizes the flavour of the vegetables. It’s also freezer friendly!
These quick air fryer french fries are ready in under 20 minutes and deliciously crispy for a perfect quick snack or as an easy side dish on a night you don’t want to turn on the oven.
There’s this restaurant near me that makes the most amazing sweet chili seitan bowl. I’m obsessed with it so I had to find a way to enjoy it at home too! With crispy tofu, homemade sweet chili sauce, creamy coconut rice, and topped with some delicious crispy wonton strips.
Homemade sweet chili sauce has a ton more flavour and you can control the spice level and sweetness according to your taste. Even better? Trying buying Thai chiles and making your own chili paste for the ultimate sweet chili sauce.
Whip up a quick meal with Thai peanut noodles with tofu. Rich, creamy, and loaded with veggies for a healthy dinner option.
My dad put this chili recipe in one of my school cookbooks they sold each year. My dad always used beef and pork, but I’ve used a ton of different meats to great success. My favourite spin on it is elk and adding a habanero pepper for heat. This chili is popular everywhere it goes.
These naturally vegan spring rolls pack tons of flavour and they’re wrapped in a tiny crunchy package. What’s not to love? This recipe was inspired by Edna, who always made the best homemade spring rolls.
This vegan pie crust is flaky, dairy-free, AND sugar-free! The little pop of flavour comes from the vinegar in the dough and the flecks of vegan butter incorporated into the flour. I won’t give you some long winded story on how I got to this …
