Did you know that winter is citrus season? It seems strange doesn't it - but I promise you its true. And I for one LOVE citrus season. I mean its perfect timing because it happens to coincide with cold and flu season (thanks Mother Nature) and not only are these gorgeous fruits filled with immune-boosting Vitamin C, … Continue reading Simple seasonal recipes where citrus is the star
See what I did there, haha. They're cookies that are more like cake - so they're cakies!!! I know I'm a dork, but in fairness it was my dorky fiancé that came up with the name; but it works. So obviously it's pumpkin spice season, (does anyone else feel like it should have its own season … Continue reading Old fashion pumpkin cakies
Well it's that time of year again - pumpkin spice time. You were thinking fall right? I mean it's that time too; but I seriously think pumpkin spice should have its own season, haha.

See I'm not a huge pie fan - I actually don't like pie crust, I do like the filling though; but this galette is the perfect mix of pie filling and just … Continue reading Rustic apple galette
I won't call it borscht because it isn't really made like traditional borscht recipes are; but I will say it gives good 'ol borscht a run for its money though! This soup is really good and I love the recipe. Although its a little time consuming, it is still quite simple and so worth it … Continue reading Roasted beet soup
Sorry guys, I'm a day late with this one...I'm trying hard to catch up with as many recipes as possible after my two-week hiatus, but I still have a soon to be 7 month old to look after so it's hard. But if you've been following along on Instagram then you know I have SO … Continue reading Root vegetable salad with parsley vinaigrette
Nothing like a bowl of hot soup on a cold autumn day. And if you're in Calgary like me, today is the perfect day.
