On hot summer days, few things beat sitting out on the porch with a thick, frosty smoothie bursting with the flavours of the season’s best fruit. My strawberry raspberry smoothie recipe is just that! About this recipe For whatever reason, strawberries have always been a huge “Summer nostalgia” thing for me. They remind me of […]
Ok guys, today I’m excited to share my recipe for homemade strawberry sauce with you. This year I’ve been really enjoying strawberry season, and I don’t know if it’s this pregnancy or what: but strawberry sauce, strawberry jam, and all things strawberry-related are just putting me right into my happy space. I originally made this […]
Ok guys, grilling season is upon us, and I think you’re going to love this oh-so-simple side dish to add to your list of favourites: grilled eggplant. Now, before I get too deep into this post, I have to add this disclaimer: As pictured here, my eggplant is actually being prepared on a hot, dry […]
Okay, so today’s the day you learn how to make my favourite Mennonite refrigerator pickles. This recipe is easy to make, and it requires absolutely zero pickling skills.

Chile is a side/topping for just about anything. It’s a lot like a fine fresh salsa or hot sauce – and IT IS VERY HOT. You can make it with any kind of hot pepper, but since jalapeños are probably the most accessible in North America, we decided to make it with those.

So, if you want to go for a milder version of this sauce, go for a milder pepper.

I love homemade jam. I remember visiting my Oma (my mom’s mom) when I was a kid, and she always seemed to have lots of it on hand. She also always made her own homemade bread or rolls, and encouraged us to eat lots of it, which made the experience of visiting her that much […]
Here’s a staple favourite recipe that I’ve made countless times, and I hope you will enjoy it as well! I love all things taco, so I figured it was about time to share this recipe. It’s been the backbone of every great taco that has come out of my kitchen, and it’s so much cheaper […]
Here’s a recipe that’s all about nostalgia for me: Plume moos, or in more familiar terms to most people, plum compote. My Oma used to make this, and one day, while I was pregnant, I got it into my mind that I really wanted to have it again… So I set to work trying to […]
With the peak of fall just ahead of us, I figured it was time to get some apple things up on on the blog. This homemade apple pie filling is one of the easiest things you’ll ever make; it smells like all the warm coziness of fall and tastes like the season’s greatest joys. What […]
