Citrus Tres Leches Cake
When my husband and I honeymooned in Mexico I ate tres leches cake on the daily. Vanilla cake soaked with a combination of 3 milks (hence the name) and topped with lightly sweetened whipped cream…..what’s not to love? This version is a bit of a cheat as I used a plain white cake mix. The…

Banana Bread
When I buy bananas we are inevitably left with some that just get riper by the day until they just get past the point of edibility (haha is that even a word? ?) When the bananas have crossed over to the literal dark side that’s when they are prime banana bread making material. Have more…

Cranberry Sauce
Canned cranberry sauce is wrong on so many levels. Gelatinous, too sweet and full of preservatives. YUCK. It is so easy to make it fresh. Even though we rarely make a turkey, I always make this sauce. It also pairs amazingly well with chicken, beef and pork and is AMAZING on sandwiches. I prefer a…

Panettone Chocolate Bread Pudding
I think bread pudding is one of my favourite things on earth. I love it sweet and I love it savoury. The cool thing about it is it can pretty much be made with any bread or anything bread like. Croissants, sourdough, brioche and even banana bread. YES! It makes perfect sense that dense and…

NO Peel Potato Latkes
Yes you read that right. NO peeling and nobody will know. They’ll just wonder how you make these addictive latkes. A couple of years ago I decided I hate peeling potatoes and I will avoid it at any cost. Turns out they taste better when you leave those skins on! If you’ve never had a…

Rosemary Parmesan Shortbread
I can never seem to find store bought crackers for a cheese board that are tasty, the right size and that look good. Don’t you also find that you’re always left with tons of them that just go in the trash? These savoury shortbreads always make an appearance on cheese assortments I do for my…

Stovetop Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese
It’s no secret I love Mac & Cheese. Doesn’t everyone? It’s one of the most popular items on my catering company’s menu. 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…

We love to indulge on the holidays. This light and healthy soup tastes like it should be on the ‘ only in moderation’ list with it’s sweet taste and creamy texture. Good news is you can eat as much as you want! Serves 4 1 large butternut squash halved lengthwise with seeds removed 1 carrot…

Dauphinoise Potatoes
This is one of the best things I have ever tasted! So good I can’t call them scalloped potatoes. I’m obsessed with all things French. There are literally millions of recipes for this type of dish. The French versions lean more to cream and American versions seems to be loaded with cheddar cheese ( not…

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,…
