Braised Short Rib Ragu

This ragu is on f i r e! Slow braised short rib ragu. What is better than short rib really?! This one pot of goodness is almost too easy to justify how delicious it is. You can use an instapot, pressure cooker or be old school like me and allow the aromas of red wine,…

The Best Meatless Chili

With Superbowl coming up, I thought I’d share a classic football favorite: Chili. And what is even better than chili? When you combine it with Cheddar and Onion Cornbread!

Spiced Apple & Pumpkin Soup

Here in Vancouver, the crisp air has come to make our noses red while not yet being cold enough to keep us indoors. I must say, our autumn so far has been picturesque. The maple trees are bright and full of red, yellow and green. The streets snow of leafs and evening comes way too…
