Alright, story time before we get messy. The first time I made Moose Farts, I only did it because my cousin double-dog dared me to bring them to our family potluck. The name got a good laugh (my aunt nearly spat her tea), but no joke—half the tray was gone before dinner. Kids snuck back…
Wanna Try Something Different for Breakfast? So, funny story — I made Cinnamon Apple Breakfast Quinoa for the first time because my oats container was, well, suspiciously empty (thanks kids), and let me tell you, it ended up being a total revelation. You know how some mornings your brain and your stomach seem to agree…
So, Let’s Talk Apple, Carrot, and Oat Breakfast Bake Picture this: it’s an absolutely drizzly Saturday morning, kids (or, honestly, adults) are shuffling around the kitchen half-awake, and I just want something that’s going to make the whole place smell like actual comfort. That’s when this apple, carrot, and oat breakfast bake strolls onto the…
Well, This One’s a Keeper: How I Stumbled Into Granola Bar Obsession Okay, I’ll confess right up front: the first time I tried making homemade granola bars, I accidentally confused baking powder for oats. (Pro-tip: Don’t do that. The results will haunt you.) But once I actually figured it out, these healthy chewy oat bars…
The Recipe I Make When Chocolate Calls My Name You know those days when you just can’t decide if you want something healthy or something that just *feels* like a treat? Well, that’s pretty much how Chocolate Quinoa Crisps became a staple in my kitchen (honestly, they’re my answer to both). The first time I…
So, This Keto Mediterranean Bowl Story… Do you ever have one of those days where your brain says, “We’re having pasta!” but your body says, “Absolutely not, mate”? That’s how this Keto Mediterranean Protein Bowl was born, after one disastrous night involving a lost bag of quinoa, a fridge full of mismatched odds and ends,…
Let Me Tell You About Baked Salmon Night! Okay, so, picture this: It’s Thursday, everyone’s a bit tired, and you really want dinner to just magically appear, but also kinda healthy (ish). That’s where Baked Salmon with Potatoes and Asparagus has saved my bacon—er, salmon—more times than I can count. I started making this after…
Let Me Tell You About My (Probably Overly) Juicy Meatballs So, picture this: It’s Wednesday night, the kids are fighting (again), and I’m standing in the kitchen staring down a pack of ground beef like it owes me rent. That’s when Juicy Meatballs with Rice & Roasted Veggies comes to the rescue. I’ve made these…
If You Only Make One Biscuit Recipe, Let It Be This One If I had a dollar for every batch of cheesy biscuits I’ve whipped up, I’d probably have, I dunno, enough for a week’s worth of good cheddar. Seriously though, cheddar chive biscuits have been my culinary life raft on more than one busted…
Let’s Talk Pulled Pork (and My Family’s Obsession) Oh, pulled pork. If there’s a more forgiving, less-fussy, big-flavour meal for a Saturday BBQ, I don’t know it. Honestly, this is the dish I make when I want people to rave… but I’d rather hang out than stand over the stove for hours. My mum used…
