I used to make flatbread A LOT. It was easy to throw together quickly and was kind of like pizza but I could tell myself it was better because it has veggies (which we usually eat pepperoni pizza with no veggies) and it has sort of a gourmet feel. Not to mention it’s affordable (depending a little on the toppings you choose).

It’s easy to make on the camp stove and only uses minimal ingredients (that are camping friendly) and feeds about 2-4 people. (You can make it at-home too if you aren’t able to get out camping!)

This curry is best served over rice and with a side of warm buttered naan. It is a simple curry as well as a great vegetarian meal option if you are trying to reduce your meat consumption. It’s also quick enough to be made on a weeknight after work. And, it freezes really well. I often make extra to stick in the freezer for busy nights

I’ve always really enjoyed dal. It is a great one for a busy weeknight as it is pretty quick (30 minutes). It has that classic warm, earthy, spiced flavour of dal (without being spicy). (Feeds approximately 5)

This is a really lovely combination of fresh zesty flavours that’s easy to make and is a great side dish to grilled meats, or vegetables, or even just on its own.

I love pasta, it’s probably obvious to those of you who follow me on here or over on Instagram. Does anyone not like pasta? I realized I really enjoy ordering rosé sauces at restaurants, but I don’t really make them at home. So, I decided, why not give it a try? And this is what I came up with! It turned out really delicious!

With fall beginning many of us are returning to work, at home or at the office, and some people are also sending kids back to school, again either in person or virtually from home. Regardless, we are coming out of vacation mode and into the busy season of fall.

On these rainy chillier days, it’s nice to have a cozy rich dinner. Risotto has been a favourite of mine for many years. You can make all sorts of different kinds with different ingredients, it’s simple, pretty quick and affordable too.

To me Chili is one of the most fall recipes I can think of. This recipe is a great one for when you are heading out for the day and want to come home to a warm yummy dinner – the beauty of slow cookers. It feeds about 4-6 people too, so if you have a family or group you are trying to feed it’s awesome.

At any moment there are so many opinions and controversies around healthy eating. There are the fad diets, the new research finds, the advice you get from people on social media, your friend, or mother. There’s just so much out there. It seems no matter what we eat we’re doing it wrong in someone’s book.

Like most people I have some recipes that are special and close to my heart because they come from my childhood. Often simple comforting recipes, or traditional family recipes that just give us a hug and make us feel all warm and fuzzy. This really is such an easy and tasty sauce.

This is one of my favourite summer recipes. This is an awesome, quick, easy recipe that is very customizable. At the base it consists of only 4 ingredients but you can also add more things to it if you want to change it up.

I can honestly say that meal planning has changed my life. It has changed the way that I cook, but more importantly it has contributed to my family having a better life balance, less stress, and given us more time to spend together.
