With St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner we found inspiration for a new take on an old favourite. For this Double Chocolate Irish Cream Cookie recipe we’ve combined our original Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies with not only more chocolatey goodness, but with delicious Bailey’s Irish Cream! The result is an amazingly soft – yet…

This taco seasoning recipe came together after realizing that we’d forgotten to pick up the normal seasoning packet for Taco Tuesday. In a slight panic, we scrambled to come with our own substitute seasoning and this was the result. It’s incredibly easy to put together and provides just as much – if not more –…

I always try to make classic French tourtière over the holidays. The dish works perfectly for larger crowds and highlights come of the traditional flavours of Christmas (cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon). This year I had a idea to make this dish fully portable – the Tourtière Egg Roll! Paired with a tasty jus (based on our…

This Spinach and Lemon Risotto recipe perfectly pairs the smooth, creamy texture of the rice with the earthiness of the spinach, saltiness of the Parmesan, and bitterness of the lemon. It provides a perfect balance on the tongue and palate. Although categorized as a side dish, this risotto would stand up perfectly as an elegant…

This Crispy Potato Croquette recipe is my take on re-creating those potatoes. Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender and savory on the inside these were delicious and we instantly fell in love with them. Although I have no idea what was actually in that La Strada side dish, I think I’ve found the right…
