Rosé Margaritas

Rosé. Margaritas. Whats not to love? These two are staples for me during the warm weather months. Why not mix the two together to have yourself a fun play on a classic cocktail. I assure you this will be a fan favorite at your household. Directions: In a large jug, add lime juice,…

Fresh Tagliatelle with Tomatoes and Olive oil

Sometimes the most simplest of things are the most rewarding; and that is exactly what this recipe is. Simple. Fresh. Delicious. I stumbled upon this recipe when I was behind a deadline and needed something quick: “let me make some fresh pasta and I’ll throw in some simple ingredients for a pop of color.” Little…

Egg and Asparagus Tart with Hollandaise and Goat Cheese

It’s Easter long weekend which means sleep-ins (maybe), enough chocolate mini-eggs to set you up until next year, turkey dinners, and a whole lot of family and friends to host for brunch. I love brunch. Brunch means there is always a little bubbly, which in my opinion, is the best way to start the day.…

Asparagus and Pea Soup

While touring Mexico, many restaurants would serve hot soup while the temperature climbed outside. Sweating, I give it a shot and was overwhelmed by the flavors. I was baffled that a soup could taste that good. Since then, I’ve made soup a staple around the household. Concentrating on big flavors in a tiny bowl. It’s…

Death by Chocolate Banana Muffins

Childhood food memory = chocolate banana muffins. My parents were uber-strict on not allowing my brothers and me to eat processed foods. That meant I was the kid at school who had nothing to trade at lunch time. No kid wants to trade fruit snacks for a real piece of fruit! However, over the…

Black Trumpet Risotto

I’m just going to throw this right out there right away. I don’t like Mushrooms. I despise their texture but love their flavor. I’m like the child you have who, when they see the smallest piece, will throw a fit and refuse to eat. Well, ok, I am not that bad but you get the…

Jalapeno Corn Gnocchi with Crispy Panchetta

Doesn’t that look delicious?! Colourful, flavorful and a perfect fusion of my two favorite cuisines: Mexican and Italian. What a weird combo right? One of the more frequent questions asked whenever I do an interview: “What is your favorite type of cuisine to cook?” My answer always sounds strange as I reply, “Mexican and…

Potato Goat Cheese Agnolotti | Lemon Brown Butter Sauce

Oh Dang! Guys, so first of all: my computer was having technical issues so I haven’t been able to post ( I finished a post via my cellphone yesterday which was awful). As an update: my media life has been put on hold and my office life has been me on my couch working with…

Huevos Breakfast Pizza

Ahh, New Year’s Eve! For all of my thirty-something years, I have broken NYE down to two experiences: Completely overrated or a complete blast. I will say: last year was one of my favorite New Year’s Eves. Beside the fact that I managed to stay up past midnight, our friends had an engagement party at…

Gingerbread Bundt Cake

I’m not sure why certain spices are comforting at certain times of the year. As soon as the weather starts to get chilly, we start pulling out the pumpkin spiced lattes. Cinnamon, clove, ginger, and nutmeg become regular buys for all our favorite fall and winter dishes and as soon as the holiday season approaches…
