Pasta with Roasted Cauliflower & Toasted Breadcrumbs
This recipe has been sitting as a draft for over a year. I just couldn’t get the photos right so I didn’t post. I’ve just entered my first ever photography/food styling challenge and one of the themes is cauliflower! No more excuses 🙂 This is super simple and there isn’t really a sauce per se……

Clementine Vasilopita (Greek New Year’s Cake)
While I am Greek by birth, I didn’t grow up with any knowledge of my heritage. When I connected with my roots in my late teens this cake was one of the first homemade things I tried. Vasilopita ( St. Basil’s Pie), is a Cake or bread traditionally served on New Years Day in Greece…

Spinach Croque Madame
I shared my croque Monsieur recipe earlier this year. A Croque Madame is essentially the same sandwich with the addition of a fried egg on top.

Apple Crisp Cheesecake
My dreams of having a business started many years ago when I was in my late teens. I brought a cheesecake to work and people started asking me to make them ….. for money!!! Back then I’m pretty sure I was using the recipe on the cream cheese package. Over the years I’ve tried lots…

Sweet Potato Spinach & Mushroom Lasagna
Oh how I love lasagna! I think it was the first meal I ever learned to make. It took a lot of years and lots of different methods but I’ve got a go to method now and it’s pretty fool proof I think. The absolute key to a delicious lasagna is the sauce you use.…

No Churn Peanut Butter & Chocolate Ice Cream
I’m completely ice cream obsessed. I have a few favourites like butter pecan, any flavour of italian gelato and peanut butter & chocolate. We all know that PB & C are a complete match made in heaven. I don’t know if Baskin Robbins came up with the idea to make this flavour combo into and…
