Eggs Benny Breakfast Pizza

I’ve made no secret of my love for pasta and tacos. In fact, I imagine a quick search of everything posted here over the years would show that delicious pasta and various taco recipes are more prominent (and popular) than other categories and cuisines. But lost in all of that is my near-equal love for…

Maple Whiskey Buttermilk Fried Chicken + Buttermilk Cornmeal Pancakes with Herb and Chili Maple Syrup

Like many people around the country, Chicken + Waffles has become one of our favorite brunch items. It’s easy to see why this dish has gained popularity in recent years. The sweet combined with the savory and a kick of spice takes our taste buds to flavor heaven. One of the challenges with making Chicken…

Blood Orange Peach + Berry Dutch Babies

One reason that summer is such an amazing time of year is because of all the amazing produce to choose from. While winter brings scarcity and a lack of choices, summer time brings a wide variety of bright colors and flavors. As a result, my eyes are often bigger than my stomach and I end…

Italian Eggs in Purgatory

You know I love a good brunch item. Something that is hearty but takes less than 20 minutes to make. Sign. me. up. And you also may know that I paid a visit recently to Famoso Neapolitan pizzeria to show 5 things you didn’t know about Neapolitan pizza. What intrigued me most about this pizzeria is that everything…

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.…

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…

4 Fun Thanksgiving Leftover Recipes

Ahh. Good ol’ Thanksgiving leftovers. We love them and then we hate them. Why? There is soooo much left. How many turkey sandwiches can one person eat?! Plus there are other parts of Thanksgiving dinner: Cranberry sauce, Stuffing, almost empty bottles of wine, the list goes on and on and on. Below I am offering…

Huevos Rancheros

For some people a hard boiled egg and a piece of toast is a quick breakfast. For me, it’s Huevos Rancheros. Why? Because I always have leftover Mexican on hand. While I write this post I LITERALLY have no energy to make food (just got my butt kicked at the gym) and I am salivating…

Spruce up your Pancakes

Who doesn’t love pancakes in the morning. It was one of my mother’s staple while growing up – German pancakes, Crepes and my dads favorite: fluffy pancakes topped with bacon, fried eggs and a whole lot of maple syrup (not for everyone). I find people are afraid to improvise over what the recipes says. With many baked…

Homer St. Cafe & Bar

I LIVE for brunch…Food and Champagne to kick start your day isn’t the worst thing to do on a weekend right? So, when I realized I had nothing planned this morning, I eagerly jumped on the idea of brunch at one of my favorite spots downtown Vancouver; Homer St. Café & Bar. Set in Vancouver’s historic Homer building, there…
