Cheese Stuffed Pasta Shells with Winter Vegetables

Okay. It’s no surprise I love making pasta. Fresh pasta. From scratch. But let’s be real, even the most skilled pasta maker likes something comforting, quickly. A Pasta dish I can make ahead of time (if needed) and just throw in the oven… A comfort meal I can load with delicious winter vegetables so I…

Pan Fried Pumpkin Gnocchi with Mushrooms, Pancetta and Brown Butter

I’m starting off by saying, I ate pasta 5 times last week and have no intentions of quitting; After all, it’s clearly my top comfort food year round. With the cool weather coming, I’ve been warming myself up with copious amounts of doughy goodness. Stuffed with cheese, topped with cheese, and generous amounts of butter.…

Tackling Cornucopia! My thoughts from The Whistler Insider

My engagement as an Ambassador for Tourism Whistler isn’t just about experiencing all that Whistler has to offer, but also about sharing those experiences with others who might enjoy them as well. I was excited when I was asked to share how I would be enjoying Cornucopia this year on The Whistler Insider. Cornucopia is…

Almond Biscotti

Ever go to a coffee shop, look at the goodies behind the counter glass and catch your eye on a biscotti? You order it, with your coffee of course, dunk it and take a bite of that perfectly-crunchy-yet-soft-from-the-dunk piece and think how the heck did I forget how good these are? When I ask my friends if they…

Southwestern White Chicken Chili

I’m not sure what I love the most about chili. The endless varieties, the hearty texture, or that it takes less effort than pouring yourself a glass a wine (okay, maybe not that easy but you get the point). Either way, chili is certainly a fall dish. It’s a reminder of football season beginning…

Butternut Squash Pasta | Brown Butter Sage Sauce

Ah. Fall. Autumn. The end of cool drinks and sunshine and the welcome of cozy sweaters and fireplaces. Autumn is my favorite season. In my opinion autumn far surpasses summer. The cool walks in the colorful leafs, the red wine, the crisp smell in the air. The fact that my hair and makeup…

BC Summer Eats with Red Rooster Winery

Being born and living in British Columbia is definitely something I’ve always been proud of. Regardless of where I travel and how long I’m gone, there is nothing like coming home to the lush forest, mountains, lakes, rivers and ocean that make this area so special. Not only is BC a visible stunner, it also…

White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies with Himalayan Sea Salt

I don’t know where I got the whacky idea to create these cookies. I mean, lets face it, peanut butter cookies are a staple and all good on their own. So why screw up a good thing? Well, you can’t really screw up anything with chocolate so why not give it a shot. Same…

Sweet & Spicy Chicken | Mango Salsa & Coconut Rice

The weather outside is finally getting warm and it’s starting to feel more and more like BBQ season (much to the relief of Texan). Actually, if you ask Texan, he’d say it’s not actual “BBQ”; it’s technically “Grilling”. As he puts it, BBQ means you are cooking with a slow circumvented unit of hot air with the lid…

Vegetarian Taco Salad

It’s only a few days before the official “hello” to summer and I’ve been on a bit of a health kick. Before you roll your eyes at me, I’m not saying I don’t eat tacos or pasta I mean who can stop eating that!? but I’ve been trying to cook less meat and incorporate more vegetables and…
