Roasted Potato Breakfast Bowl

For as long as I can remember I've never been a breakfast eater. I'll have a couple cups of coffee and grab something later, typically when I've reached the point of getting cranky because I'm so hungry. But lately, eggs have hit the spot. I've been enjoying either Avocado Egg Toast or a fried egg sandwich pretty regularly. Along with my couple of cups of coffee of course! This Roasted Potato Breakfast Bowl, definitely takes a bit more time (more of a weekend breakfast dish), which is exactly ... Read More about Roasted Potato Breakfast Bowl

Cast Iron Steak and Cauliflower Mash

Cooking steaks in the winter is something we seldom do. When I think of steak for dinner, I think of a warm summer evening, cold drinks in hand, and visiting around the BBQ. Sides would include at least two salads and maybe some garlic bread if we're being really indulgent.  I must be craving protein because I was really craving a good grilled steak.

Everything about this meal was delicious and comforting, the way good food should be. The cheesy goodness and red sauce is great for hiding all the spinach, which is also a win-win when ...

Garlic Bread

I can hardly believe that I'm actually posting Garlic Bread, but I seriously can't tell you how many times I've heard, "your garlic bread is so good!" Or "what do you put on it?" I guess all garlic breads are not the same! ... Read More about Garlic Bread

Quinoa Bowls

I love having left over roast chicken in the fridge. Dinners are quick and simple to prepare when one of the main ingredients is already cooked. These Quinoa Bowls, were ready to eat, literally in the time it took to cook the quinoa (15 minutes). I wanted to show you two of our favorite bowls. Both used the same base ingredients (quinoa, black beans, and chicken), but we varied the toppings. One bowl was topped with Mango Salsa and the other with this Thai Peanut Sauce. Both were delicious! ... Read More about Quinoa Bowls
