I’m a huge fan of one-pot meals – especially on crazy weeknights when I’ve only got 30 minutes to get dinner on the table, and I don’t want to do a ton of washing up after. And since Tex-Mex is a favorite in our house, this skillet dinner is constantly […]
Want the secret to the richest, chewiest, tastiest spiced oatmeal cookies EVER? It comes in a little blue-and-white box.Adding half a package of instant vanilla pudding to the dry ingredients gives these cookies great texture and really bumps up the vanilla flavor too. (I used Jell-O brand which is accidentally vegan). […]

There’s a famous kosher-style dairy restaurant here in Toronto that’s been owned and operated by the same family for […]

It’s the last long weekend of summer, and we’re making the most of it. The weather is a little bit cooler here this week (mid-70s most days), which is a welcome respite from the wicked heat we had for most of July and August, but also a reminder that the […]

Have you tried my ultimate ranch seasoning yet? It takes just minutes to make and lasts forever. I make a huge jar of it and use it for everything – ranch dips and dressings, as a seasoning for roasted potatoes, and as a popcorn shaker or coating for roasted cashews.It’s delish […]
I had an abundance of red radishes recently and, after roasting a few and pickling a bunch, I needed a creative way to use up the rest of them.Cool, creamy, tangy tzatziki is one of my favorite dips, and I’ve got a wicked dairy-free version in my first cookbook that […]
I grew up in Canada, but I’ve spent a lot of time in the United States. For a number of years I worked with U.S. based companies and spent a lot of time traveling back and forth to cities like New York, Dallas and Atlanta. And of course, I’ve vacationed […]
