Potato salad is a dish that I find myself making over and over in the warm summer months. It’s a great side for a BBQ or picnic, and something that I tend to whip up when a large group comes over. This salad a is a lighter version of the traditional dish, which is usually…
Ricotta Yoghurt Pancakes
I grew up eating these pancakes and have been making them for my girls since they were little. This is not a typical ricotta pancake recipe, as I like to use both ricotta, and yogurt in the batter. One batch makes 12-14 small pancakes. I make these about 3 times a week, as they are…
Dark Chocolate and Baileys Irish Cream Cupcakes
For the most part, my recipes are healthy and delicious. While eating healthy can be tasty, and better for you, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a treat now and then. St. Patricks Day seems the perfect time for this fun, adults only treat. These rich cupcakes are topped with a Baileys infused, cream cheese…
Shrimp and White Wine Tagliatelle
Pasta is a great comfort food, especially in the cold months. This is an incredibly easy weeknight dinner, that takes 15 minutes to prepare. I love to cook shrimp, as it cooks quickly and is incredibly versatile. The best part is that I can make the sauce while the pasta is cooking, so I spend…

Asian Lettuce Wraps
One meal that I never seem to get sick of is Asian lettuce wraps. They are quick and easy to prepare and are so versatile. I love to make this for a large group and serve it with both lettuce leaves and mini brioche buns so that you have the choice of eating a…
Zucchini Loaf
The first time I came across zucchini bread, I was a little apprehensive about trying it. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, so I simply avoided it. Eventually I tried a piece at a party and found myself going back for seconds. After that, I was hooked. This Zucchini bread is a…
Pineapple Sgroppino
My love of Sgroppino started when my parents called me from their vacation in Venice to tell me about their new discovery, the cocktail/dessert called Sgroppino. The restaurant where they had dinner every night had run out of my mothers usual dessert so she was brought a glass of Sgroppino, compliments of the chef. She…
Crab and Corn Soup
I noticed that I seem to always gravitate more towards Asian cuisine, both when going out to eat, and also when cooking at home. I like to experiment with Asian flavours and techniques. Asian cuisine can seem intimidating even to the most accomplished home cooks. Creating something simple, fast and Asian inspired is actually easier…
