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…

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…

Authentic Chicken Fried Rice

Chicken fried rice is one of those iconic dishes and something I crave almost all the time: in the morning, as an afternoon pick me up, for dinner, or a …

Really Good Basic Baba Ganoush Recipe

I love baba ganoush. It's smoky, rich, creamy, and vegan to boot. I love it with crispy pitas and I love with soft pitas – I just love it. What …

How to reverse sear - the best way to cook a big steak

A long time ago Steph and I cooked through the Momofuku cookbook, and in it were a couple of recipes utilizing an odd technique that David Chang probably invented at …

Small Batch BA's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Bon Appétit says these are their best cookies. Are they?!?! Read on to find out. Sometimes Mike and I are disgustingly cute. You know, when you have that couple friend who …

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…

Mini Corn Muffin Recipe

Is it just me or is everything better when it’s miniaturized? Regular sized corn muffins are great too, but miniaturize them and you definitely have a hit on your hands. Especially when they’re studded with real corn and then…

Mini French Onion Mac and Cheese Recipe

My earliest memory of mac and cheese is of that magic (or horrifying) combination of neon orange powder and straight macaroni noodles. One bite and I was hooked. It’s been many years since I’ve had Kraft Dinner, but I’ve…
