Are you bored of eating the same damn thing? Grilled chicken breast? Pasta? Salad? Sometimes I feel like I’m eating the same three meals over and over. I’ve always cooked a lot but since covid I’ve been cooking A LOT and frankly, I’m getting tired! In pre-covid times when I was living in Los Angeles… Continue reading Julia’s Jambalaya
HELLO HELLO HELLO! I’ve been neglecting my beautiful little blog lately. How rude! But I’m back, BAYBEEE! I spent a month in Canada where I absolutely destroyed my body, eating nothing but poutine and late night jerk chicken and beef patties. Not to mention the libations I’d treat myself to whenever the mood struck! Needless… Continue reading Breadless Sweet Potato, Sausage and Veggie Stuffing
Before we get started, I’d like to confess that I have NEVER made a “real” Carbonara. The creaminess of this pasta traditionally comes from egg yolks. From what I’ve researched, there is always bacon or pancetta and parmesan cheese is a MUST. While googling carbonara the question “is spaghetti carbonara good for you?” popped up… Continue reading Avocado Carbonara
It’s not often that I write a blog containing multiple recipes, but I’ve been eating so many damn mushrooms lately, I had to make an exception. Also, does anyone read this part of the blog? When I’m looking for a recipe I tend to scroll through all the yapping and go straight to the good… Continue reading MUSHROOMS! breakfast, lunch & dinner.
HELLO SWEET KITTENS! I haven’t done a blog post in a while because I was busy moving my entire life from Toronto to Los Angeles! I’ve been in LA for just under a month now and because of spending so much time focussing on my career, cooking has taken a back seat. The meals I… Continue reading EVERYDAY TACOS
FREAK A LEEK! SNEAK A LEEK! DO YOU SPEAK LEEK? I am very excited about leeks if you couldn’t already tell. I was at my local farmers’ market and saw some beautiful giant leeks. They weren’t so much giant as they were tall. With the long green leaf things these gents were about 4 feel… Continue reading Leek and Potato Soup
I was in St. Lawrence Market today, buying giant capers and other fun treats when walked by Seafront Fish Market and my eyes locked with some beautiful scallops, staring at me from beyond the glass. I had to have them. For some reason I equate scallops with special occasions because they tend to be on… Continue reading Seared Scallops in Chive, Lemon Butter
I’m melting. You’re melting. Will this heat never end? Unfortunately I can’t tell Mother Nature what to do, but I can help you make delicious soups that will cool you inside and out! I don’t know about you but hot soup on a hot day is very unappealing to me. So is heavy, greasy food.… Continue reading Cold Soup

Serve it on your favourite kind of rice with your favourite veggie, and you’ve got a perfectly balanced meal, fit for royalty. I don’t… Continue reading Blackened Salmon with Mango Salsa
HELLO WORLD! It’s warm and beautiful and famers’ markets are in full swing, overflowing with beautiful BEETS! I often associate beets with winter because they’re a root vegetable and I like to enjoy a hot bowl of borsht on a cold, frosty day. However, beets are best this time of year. They’re fresh out of… Continue reading Just Beet It
