One final summer feast? I don’t see why not! We’re heading into labour day weekend, which always feels like the perfect time to celebrate the wonderful summer we had. It’s the final send-off, as we transition into autumn’s magic… and what better way to celebrate summer, than with some homemade shrimp tacos?! This particular recipe is our current favourite!

Braised Pork Belly with Cinnamon, Apples, & Wine
The perfect Autumn comfort food! You might be thinking, “why pork belly”? We’re always trying to take steps towards a more “nose-to-tail” style of eating. In being fortunate enough to live in a place where we have the luxury of abundance, home cooking can quickly become lazy and slightly unimaginative. It’s easy to get locked into a pattern of eating…

Bruschetta with Fried Halloumi
It’s all in the details. Bruschetta is one of those things that is easy to make, but often falls short of impressive. Either the bread is hard, the cheese is bland, or the tomatoes just aren’t that tasty. Straying from tradition, this recipe is shockingly delectable. I kid you not… people’s eyes will roll. With the rich butter and salty…

Vegetarian Rice Bowls with Charred Corn and Roasted Sweet Potato

Like with all…

Eggplant Parmesan
One of my all-time favourites and a guaranteed crowd pleaser! I’m not Italian, so I can’t say that this is an authentic version of the Italian classic, but I promise it’s delicious. It might be tempting to serve this with meat, but I’m telling you, it’s not necessary. There is a ton of cheese in this recipe, and each slice of eggplant…

Sauteéd Bok Choy with Browned Butter-Toasted Pecans and Crumbled Feta
Simple and delicious. I threw this recipe together after getting off work at eight o’clock, with the sole concern being the speed at which I could put food on the table. It turned out so good that we’ve continued to make it, not only as a side, but also a main. We typically serve this over rice, and sometimes add…
