Food waste drives me crazy. In today’s world, so much food is thrown away because of cosmetic reasons, meaning if your apple isn’t perfectly red and smooth, it might find it’s way into the trash before a hungry mouth. I used to work at a farmer’s market and people would ask us to chop off

We’re getting SPICY over here with these Hot Honey Smashed Potatoes. These are my husband’s ULTIMATE favourite potatoes. And mine too.

Brussels Sprouts often evoke a feeling of love or hate. If you hate them (and I mean really hate), chances are you were served an overcooked, mushy, no-longer-green brussels sprout with a bit of salt. Probably your least favourite dish on the holiday table. Chances are you never had these glazed brussels sprouts. But,

Holidays are stressful. You know what’s even more stress-inducing? Trying to make a meal for ALL the dietary requirements around the table. Someone is likely “going gluten free”, or “doing keto” or “avoiding dairy” – it can be hard to keep track! Luckily, you don’t have to give up your favourite holiday dishes, like
