Sundays to me are a perfect baking day. You get a baked treat for one of your meals or snacks, and you have leftovers for the rest of the week. ...

Roasted Root Vegetable & Leek Pie in a Whole Wheat Crust
This pie is based on my WWII Woolton Pie. As back during WWII, the British were eating under food rationing, they often made pies with a lid and no bottom crust. We’ve gotten used to it around here, and do most of our savoury pies with only a top crust. If you want a double [...]
Egg Muffins
So there’s a restaurant by us that has an item on its brunch menu that always catches my eye: Egg Muffins. Which sounded so intriguing I had to ask about them. Essentially it’s Eggs Benedict without the hollandaise — and so I thought I’d make my own version of ‘Egg Muffins’ at home!
Whole Wheat Compost Cookies
You know how I said that my Whole Wheat Toblerone Cookies were my favourite cookies ever? Move over Toblerone Cookies, there’s a new Whole Wheat Cookie in town – the Whole Wheat Compost Cookie. I’ve been hearing a lot about Christina Tosi and the amazing treats she’s whipping up at Momofuku Milk Bar in New [...]
Israeli Couscous Salad with Honey-Roasted Parsnips & Carrots
We’ve been doing a lot of salads around here lately, and it’s been a lot of the same thing over and over again… delicious versions of either our veggie Caesar salad over Romaine or my lemony arugula salad. But after a while, 2 salad options get a bit tiring, but we still want salad. So [...]
Tex-Mex Breakfast Tortilla Cups
Remember the Tortilla Scoops with Spicy Nectarine Salsa we made as appetizers for my Pampered Chef party? Well these are a breakfast version, inspired by the great deliciousness of baking tortillas in a muffin tin, filled with stuff. I turned these into Tex-Mex breakfast nibbles, by stuffing them with spicy refried beans, sharp old cheddar, [...]
Roasted Acorn Squash & Pear Soup
Dear Soup, How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. 1) You are magic. Somehow, soup as a whole is always better than the sum of its parts. You put veggies in a pot with some water, and they come out tasting incredible. Magic. 2) You make me love winter. Because who doesn’t [...]
Butternut Squash Tortellini in a Sage Butter
As delicious as the Chanterelle Tortellini Aglio e Olio were, Louise and I decided that we wanted a second stuffed-pasta option. And so, Butternut Squash Tortellini in a Sage Butter were born: This is a very traditional combination of flavours, and for very good reason. Butternut squash + sage = heaven. And on a side [...]
Chanterelle Tortellini Aglio e Olio (in a garlic & olive oil sauce)
So now that you know how to make your own Fresh Egg Pasta, you can get on with Operation Tortellini and start stuffing delicious vegetables into divine dough! As a very first hint, if you’re going to make stuffed pasta, make the filling first so it can rest while you make the pasta. And if [...]
How to Make Fresh Egg Pasta
I teamed up with Louise, and we spent a day implementing Operation Tortellini — a plan to get fresh stuffed pasta.
Mushroom Soup with Wild Rice & White Beans
I wanted hearty and filling mushroom soup, so into the pot went some wild rice and white beans!
