Spanakopita
UPDATED JULY 2025* Last spring we spent some time in Greece and every day I had a Leek Pie (prasopita). They are so delicious. I was meaning to make Leek Pie for my Taverna Chic Dinner Party but I ended up not getting enough leeks. Happy accident, I cooked them anyways and threw them into…

French Onion & Gruyère Pizza
I love cooking from scratch but store bought pizza dough is a shortcut I’m all over. We do pizza night at least once a week and I think this method is pretty perfect. For my recent French themed party, I was inspired by the flavours of the south and the traditional Pissaladière, a pizza like…

Lemon Meringue Tart
I’m thinking that this is the perfect dessert. Sweet & tart with a crispy cookie like crust. If I’m comparing it to store bought LM pie or the kind our Moms and grandmas made (homemade… but in my case, was really just made at home from a box), this is lighter and the lemon curd…

I refrained and stuck to my normal staples. Since work for me is done for the foreseeable future I’m throwing myself into cooking and…

Spinach Croque Madame

As if the Monsieur wasn’t decadent enough with crispy buttered bread , bechamel and gruyère, a fried egg with crispy edges and a runny golden yolk take it over…

Sweet Potato Carrot Soup
Soup season is just about here! I’m all about comfort food and I just love that you can take a few ingredients and create a magical, satisfying and healthy meal. Did I say delicious? I shared my Roasted Butternut Squash Soup recipe last year, and this one is along the same lines, but even easier.…

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.…
