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).
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.
This Spring Kale Salad is bright, fresh, and a little bit addictive. The dressing is everything. And if you’ve ever been a JOEY house salad devotee, I think you’re going to love this one. Make it once and it’ll be in your regular rotation, I promise.
These Rhubarb Streusel Muffins are the perfect vessel to highlight the incredible flavour of rhubarb in the spring. These muffins are fluffy, lightly sweetened, and bursting with fruit. Topped with a buttery, crumbly streusel topping.
This light and delicious Strawberry Arugula Salad is the perfect way to celebrate spring. Fresh strawberries and arugula are brought to life with a rich balsamic dressing, feta, red onion, and roasted sunflower seeds. This spring salad recipe is best enjoyed in late spring when …
When I’m feeling under the weather (or feel like I need some fibre), I often make this lentil vegetable soup. This healthy soup is lightly spiced with a curry blend, along with fresh garlic, onion, carrot, celery, parsnip, potatoes, and rich chicken broth (or veggie).
This homemade buttermilk ranch recipe is exactly what we’ve been looking for in a ranch. It’s lightly tangy, bursting full of fresh herb flavour, and tastes exceptional on pizza and veggies.
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!).
These Raspberry Coconut Tarts are filled with raspberry jam and a sweet coconut filling, topped with almond icing and chocolate. A must try!
Moroccan Rice Pilaf is warmly spiced, aromatic, and full of texture from dried fuit and toasted nuts. This version is quick to make and pairs with almost anything – braised lamb, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or even a chickpea stew.
