Chocolate Cake

Chocolate cake anyone? This chocolate cake recipe is so simple and delicious. I love it because you don’t need a lot of fussy kitchen gadgets to make it. I can whip this cake up on the fly and it’s delicious. It has just the right amount of sweetness with a deliciously chocolatey flavor. The cake also has a really nice crumb. It’s not super crumbly or heavy, but it’s not so light you feel like you’re eating air. I paired this cake with a tasty caramel buttercream. It would also be delicious with a chocolate buttercream as well. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

The BEST Chip & Veggie Dip

I've been eating this dip since I was a toddler. It's a long time family classic! Be ready for it to become a party favorite. My Mom got the recipe from a friend in the early 70's and it has since graced our family table ever since. We love it with a classic potato chip, but it's also super tasty with chopped veggies like carrots, celery and cucumbers. Ditch that store bought ranch dip! Once you try this dip you'll never go back.

Crispy Zucchini Chips: Healthy Oven Baked Zucchini Recipe

Learn how to make crispy oven baked zucchini chips. Not only is this recipe a healthy and delicious side dish, it’s also a great way to use zucchini when it’s in season in the summer. My crispy zucchini chips are a lightened version of the traditional recipe because they are baked and not fried. I also replaced the egg with an egg substitute for an easy vegan alternative when you use flour or plant based bread crumbs.

Red lentils are combined with onions, carrots, garlic and tomato purée and then seasoned with cumin, oregano, thyme and crushed red pepper. The finishing touch of bright lemon juice and tangy feta makes this soup one of my absolute favorites! I love making a big batch of this soup, and freezing some so I can defrost it on busy weeknights for a super quick meal. Serve this soup with a nice big salad and some crusty bread or even toasted pita!

Dairy Free Mushroom ‘Stroganoff’

I use the term ‘stroganoff’ in quotations here, because I know its far removed from the original recipe which uses cream and meat, but what I love about this recipe is that it still has the sharp and deep mustard-pepper tastes, the cream sauce, and fresh herbs. It has became a mid-week favourite in our house and its quick to make, cheap & healthy. I don’t eat a dairy free diet, but find that heavy cream dishes don’t leave my stomach feeling great so recipes like this make me feel like I’m not missing out! You can use any type of mushrooms – chestnut, baby, white, or a mix of many.We make a big portion, then save a little for the next day to have on some toast for lunch. This recipe would also work stirred into pasta.Note: Nutritional Yeast is a deactivated yeast with a nutty, cheesy flavour and great for using as a substitute for cheese in vegan recipes. Feel free to leave it out completely (it will still taste great!) or swap with a grating of parmesan.

Classic Bloody Mary's

Years ago, my husband and I stopped at a pub for a quick bite to eat. While we waited for a table, I saw the waitress walk by with a tray filled with Bloody Mary's. No biggie, right? After all, it was brunch time and the cocktail is a favorite around these parts. But what was a biggie, is those cocktails were filled with more garnishes than I had ever seen before!Seriously! It was like a whole meal! So what did I do? Well, I ordered one of course! And oh my goodness! That Bloody Mary was delicious! Now I've created my very own recipe so I can have one anytime I want!

Skirt Steak With Calabrian Chili Chimichurri

Skirt steak is probably my favorite cut of meat…if it’s cooked right, and most importantly, cut right. It’s the easiest piece of meat to cook, takes only minutes on a grill or cast iron skillet, and is the perfect candidate for marinades since it’s so thin and has tons of open fibers. Marinate the steak overnight in your favorite Cuban-style mojo, make an authentic Mexican carne asada, or whip up your favorite marinade using any other ingredients you’d like. In this recipe, I kept it simple. I seasoned the steak with salt and pepper, dry brined it in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours, cooked it on a ripping hot cast iron skillet, and then topped it with a Calabrian Chili Chimichurri.

Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta

All the flavors of a juicy bacon cheeseburger in pasta! This Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta is a family favorite. Love a one skillet meal? If so, this dish is for you! Everything comes together in one pot.

Falafel

This is a recipe for a healthy Falafel patty. The traditional falafel meal consists of about five deep-fried chickpea patties stuffed inside a pita bread with salad and tahini. I bake my Falafel patties which transform them from being fast food to nutritious without losing any flavours. It’s relatively easy to make but requires pre-soaking the chickpea beans, so you need to start the preparations the day before.

Vegan Chilaquiles With Chipotle Tofu, Bens and Cashew Queso

This is a really fun recipe for an indulgent brunch, and a great way to use up those leftover tortilla chips at the bottom of the bag! There are a lot of elements here, and I used cashew queso because I had some in the fridge, but this dish certainly works without it. And you could certainly use a store bought salsa, but the aroma and depth of flavor that comes from roasting your own veg and making your own salsa is really special, and always makes me feel super accomplished! Simmer some black beans and slice up an avocado to go along with the chilaquiles and you’ll have a well-balanced brunch!

Tilapia Tacos With Spicy Crema & Pan Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Easy Iced Lemon Cookies

Easy Breakfast Skillet

Do you ever buy a big bag of onions and never get around to finishing them...or is it just me? I had a bunch of onions on hand so I decided to make shakshuka. There are so many ways to make this. You can do canned tomatoes or fresh tomatoes. I wanted to finish up the tomatoes I had on hand so I used those. If you prefer the soupier consistency in shakshuka, you can go with canned tomatoes. There are no rules to brunch! Add a few eggs, and cook those halfway to have a perfect runny yolk. Serve with some sourdough bread!

Fancy Lox & Toast

Let me just say, I've never really "gotten" the whole charcuterie craze...like, why pile your pancakes on a cutting board with bacon and eggs and stuff...won't it all get cold by the time you serve it? Sorry, but I have to be honest! However, they do seem so fun to make, and with this combination, I normally put it out on a dish, or in individual dishes anyway, so I figured, "Why not try it out charcuterie-style?". And as you can see, it was pretty photogenic. The only thing that really can be classified as a "recipe" here, is the homemade whipped cream cheese...and that's just too easy. It's also ESSENTIAL to the flavor profile of this brunch. So keep reading, and get your charcuterie on!

Easy Italian Marinated Skirt Steak

Easy Italian Marinated Skirt Steak is a delicious dinner recipe! This simple steak is packed with Italian flavors then seared to perfection.This steak is great for meal prep, a keto diet, an easy lunch idea, or simple dinner recipe.I love pairing this steak with a simple salad, but you can add this to just about anything!Steak can be incredibly intimidating for some people. It’s expensive and easy to mess up, making it a very overwhelming protein if you’re new to cooking.Luckily, this recipe takes the guesswork out of cooking steak. All you need to do is marinate, sear both sides, and you’ll have a steak cooked to perfection.I suggest cooking this steak recipe in a cast iron skillet. The cast iron skillet is a great uniform heat source. It also gives the steak a really nice sear that adds texture and flavor.Ideally, skirt steak is cooked at a rare or medium rare temperature. This will give you the most tender result, because as the steak cooks longer, the texture will become tougher.Cooking the steak at 6 minutes a side in a hot cast iron skillet will give you a perfect medium rare to rare steak.Using a meat thermometer always helps, too. That way you know the exact doneness of your steak.After your steak is cooked, it’s time to sit and serve.

Everything-In Cookies

My Everything-In Cookies are a dream to make and even dreamier to devour. But don't fret - these cookies are relativley healthy containing only 1/2 a cup of sugar. This recipie is also a one-bowl-wonder which will save you lots of time in prep and clean-up. However, I do highly reccomend taking a few extra minutes for the final (optional) step of drizzling chocolate. This will really add a stunning affect to your cookies and upgrade their apearance to create a jaw-dropping result with minimal effort. Substitting nuts or chocolate is possible, as long as you subsitute for similar ingredients and equal amounts (for example: 1/4 chopped walnuts for 1/4 chopped pecans, or 1 cup milk chocolate chips for 1 cup caramel chips).
