No-Knead Pizza Dough Recipe

If you’ve tasted the breads at Sullivan Street Bakery, I think you’d agree: Jim Lahey is a genius. And the best part is that he isn’t one of those crazy secret-keeping geniuses. In fact, I’d say he’s pretty much…

Bacon Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Recipe

I heart oatmeal raisin cookies. They’re sweet, chewy and oat-y enough to feel a bit healthy. But, my love for oatmeal raisin cookies isn’t steadfast; I’m a picky oatmeal raisin cookie lover. I strongly dislike crunchy oatmeal…

Skillet Fried Chicken Recipe

We moved to Vancouver from Edmonton when I was eight years old. My mom was tired of the endless snowy winters and mosquito-filled summers. I didn’t want to move—my whole life was in Edmonton. My best friend and I…

Rigatoni and Cheese Recipe

I’m always on the lookout for great mac and cheese variations. There are so many combos you can make with pasta and cheese and I love them all. Luckily Mike loves them too. It’s funny because before me he…

Ham and Cheese Waffle Recipe

Growing up waffles came out of boxes, not waffle makers, so you can imagine how excited I was when I discovered that Mike had a waffle maker. Soon I was pumping out all sorts of waffles: liege, chocolate, blueberry.…

Parmesan Fennel Shortbread Recipe

I know, I know, it seems like everything I post on this blog has fennel in it. What can I say? I love the stuff! While flipping through latest article of Bon Appétit I came across a photo of…

Mushroom Bean Salad Recipe

Living in Vancouver makes it pretty easy to drive down to America — the border’s close so it doesn’t feel like a huge production and Seattle is far enough away to feel like you’re taking a mini-vacation. Sometimes Mike…

Fennel Pork Meatball Recipe

I first had fennel sausage at Campanglolo, a fun, rustic Italian restaurant in Vancouver. The sausage was scattered on a delicious pizza with just the right amount of crisp and chew. The pizza was fantastic, but the fennel sausage…

Yoshinoya Copycat Gyudon Recipe

This gyudon recipe is a favorite quick go-to weeknight recipe. Gyudon might be one of my ultimate comfort foods: soft and tender thinly sliced steak simmered in an uber flavorful …

Crab Rangoon Recipe

Crab rangoon may not be authentic (gasp) but they sure as heck are delicious. Perfectly golden, crispy, molten bites of deliciousness filled with cheese, crab, and green onions, these crispy …

Mexican Rice

Mexican rice is probably one of the best versions of rice in the world. It's right up there with Hainanese chicken rice, fried rice, and paella. Who doesn’t love Mexican rice? But …

Köttbullar med Gräddsås: Swedish Meatballs with Cream Sauce

Sometimes Mike and I go to Ikea just for the meatballs. And the soft serve, mac and cheese, and hot dogs. I know, I know, we're animals. Maybe we'll adult …

Pineapple Guacamole Recipe

This sweet and spicy pineapple guacamole recipe is the simplest and best twist on guacamole ever. Everything you need, nothing you…

Churros Recipe

I don’t think I’ve every met anyone who doesn’t like churros. Deep fried dough rolled in cinnamon-sugar? What’s not to love?! Churros are best straight out of the oil when they’re warm and somehow manage to be crispy…

Chouquette Recipe

Biting into a chouquette is a little like biting into a soft, rich, eggy, cloud topped with crunchy sugar. My first taste of these slightly-sweet treats was in Nice, France. Tummy rumbling, Mike and I headed into a bakery.…

Bacon Jam Recipe

I love bacon. It was one of the few things I would eat as a picky child, much to the dismay of my mom. (Other choice items included plain white rice and Coco Pebbles). If they had bacon jam…
