Lately, the weather has had me down in the dumps and craving winter fare…but today is a different story. The sun is shining and my spirits are up, which means I’ve been inspired to prepare some “summer” fare! Lunch is … Continue reading
Sweet Potato Hummus
My son is a hummus-fanatic…he literally goes to town on the stuff! Yesterday was one of those “I don’t feel like making anything but I have to make SOMEthing” days, so the easiest thing I could think of was whipping … Continue reading
Orange-Infused Apple Carrot Purée
I’m not much of a juice fan (which means my son isn’t either!) but whenever we are in Italy I always seem to crave it, maybe because EVERYTHING seems to taste better there! One of my favourite juice flavours is … Continue reading

Sautéed Portobello Mushrooms and Peas
Peas and mushrooms…what a great combo! When I lack inspiration or when I’m too lazy to invent a new recipe I always turn to sauteed peas and mushrooms as the perfect side-dish. Having said that, they also play a starring … Continue reading
Ricotta and Bacon Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
How is it possible to eat SO much over the Christmas holidays and STILL end up with leftovers?!! I for one, love leftovers…actually, I love re-inventing leftovers. It’s amazing how much inspiration one gets (at least I DO) with a … Continue reading
Roasted Red Pepper and Butternut Squash Soup
Now that I really know what a cesarean recovery is all about, I’m happy that I experimented with ths recipe beforehand AND stashed a good amount in the freezer for a rainy (or lazy) day! Yesterday’s lunch was a free-for-all…leftover … Continue reading
