Croque Monsieur
The count down is on to my first ever trip to France. I’ve been dreaming of this my whole life and I can’t wait!! I’m brushing up on some French inspired gastronomy as I will be gladly cooking for my besties in the gorgeous Provençal villa we are renting. Everyone loves grilled cheese sandwiches, and…

While I adore a classic version that all about the cheese, I love that it’s such a versatile dish that can be adapted infinitely. This version makes use of the abundant butternut squash…

Simple Cauliflower Soup
This 3 ingredient ( 4 if you count the olive oil) cauliflower soup is one of my step-daughter Vanessa’s favourite things. Tastes like comfort food but is dairy free, gluten free and you can make it vegan by subbing the chicken broth for vegetable. Serves 2-4 Prep: 5 minutes Cooking: 30 minutes Special equipment: blender,…
