it all started with a love for food
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Fresh tomatoes and herbs are in abundance and their flavour is at their peak. This easy & authentic pomodoro sauce will blow you away with how incredible it tastes with only 5 ingredients. Even better, this can be made with canned tomatoes (ideally with the best quality you can find – including home canned).
These high-protein turkey breakfast patties are the thing that actually gets me out the door when I’m trying to hit my protein goals but don’t have twenty minutes to stand at the stove. One patty has 10 grams of protein on its own, and once you build the full breakfast sandwich (patty, egg, English muffin, an ounce of cheese) you’re at 31 grams of protein for around 360 calories.
Cilantro lime rice is the most versatile (and popular!) rice to serve in burritos and burrito bowls. It’s easy to make and bursting with flavour from the fresh cilantro and lime juice.
Is there anything better than a meal that comes together quickly and tastes incredible? Beef Kofta is made with simple ingredients like onion, garlic, parsley, and some middle-eastern spices and it boasts a ton of flavour.
This delicious lemon herb rice pilaf is difficult to stop eating! It’s my favourite base for a Greek souvlaki bowl or as a delicious side to any Mediterranean meal.
Traditionally made by slow-cooking pork in lard, this authentic(ish) recipe uses pork, oranges, limes, and other aromatics and slow cooks them to perfection before crisping them up under the broiler. This recipe has been on my regular rotations for years. It never fails to produce ultra tender, flavourful meat.
This is my favourite quick and healthy side dish when I’m making Mexican food and need to get some veggies on the table. My Mexican Corn and Black Bean Salad is great as a side dish, in a steak taco, or as leftovers eaten straight out of the fridge. It’s an all-purpose, delicious and robust salad that’s perfect in those hot summer months (or even in the dead of winter – it’s so delicious!).
There are so many ways to cook a whole chicken, but my favourite (aside from rotisserie) is to use the Traeger. This smoked whole chicken doesn’t need any special prep like brining, salting/drying, or basting. All you need is a delicious herb rub and optionally stuffed with fresh herbs. With this recipe (and a 3 lb raw whole chicken), you can have dinner for 4 on the table in just 1.5 hours.
These saffron chicken skewers are tender and bursting with flavour. Perfect for summer BBQ season! The delicate floral and earthy notes from the saffron is unmatched in any other spice. The saffron imparts not only flavour, but gives the chicken skewers a delightful yellow hue.
If you’re looking for the ultimate classic burger bun recipe this is it! This brioche-style bun is buttery, soft and perfect for burgers.
