Loaded Baked Potato Soup with Kale
We woke up to a light dusting of snow this morning – not enough to really stick (it’s all gone now), but enough to remind me that winter is on its way.Of course, as I’m typing this, I’m seeing the weather forecast will hit 60F again by Friday, but it’s just for a day or …
Summer Asian Chick’n Salad
This is my on-repeat-all-the-time summer salad. It hits all the right notes: it’s light, fresh, crispy and tangy, and so satisfying. When I was in university, there was this restaurant halfway between my house and school called Dr. Deli and the Salad Queen, and aside from slinging traditional deli sandwiches, they had an extensive …
Not Your Mom’s Passover Brisket
If you celebrate any Jewish holidays, or even Shabbat dinner, it’s pretty much a given that you are familiar with the ubiquitous beef brisket that your mom learned to make from her mom (who learned to make it from her mom…) After all, it’s pretty much required eating at the Seder table…and for days afterwards. …
Creamy Chick’n Lasagna Soup

Roasted Butternut Squash and Leek Soup
I’m eating this soup for breakfast today. I’m not kidding. It’s Monday, and it’s raining. (Welcome to November in Toronto), and I spent my early morning running the kids to school, grocery shopping, and hauling out garbage bins under a blustery mist of rain, and I’m chilled to the bone. While I waited for my tea …
Quick and Easy Asian Chicken Noodle Soup
When I was a (really little) kid, there was this restaurant my Dad used to take me to downtown (on McCaul Street in the Village by the Grange, for those who know the area). It was called Ginsburg and Wong, and it was my first introduction to ‘fusion’ food. Well, not so much fusion in …
One Pot Garlic Butter Pasta
We are in the dog days of August, where the air is so thick and humid you can cut it with a knife, and the mere thought of turning on kitchen appliances makes you break out into even more of a sweat, but yet somehow, that wasn’t enough of a deterrent for this carb-loving mama …
