Warm Potato Salad (Earls Restaurant Copycat)
This potato salad is the MOST delicious potato salad from Earls Kitchen + Bar, a Canadian casual dining restaurant. I managed to recreate a version of it here! Every time I go with Walt or my girlfriends, I always make sure I get the Blackened Chicken, as the potato salad comes as a side with it.

Slather the burgers generously with a refreshing, creamy tzatziki sauce made of yogurt, lemon and herbs and voila! This recipe is a tribute to Greek cuisine which is rich with cheeses, meat, olive oil, herbs, yogurt and citrus flavors. Still, Greek recipes are quite balanced, providing the nutrients our bodies need! These burgers are far from those at any fast food joints. I try to avoid highly processed...

Best Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipe
Unless you live in a camper van traveling cross-country this Thanksgiving, you have no excuse for buying stuffing in boxes anymore. Nope. Not this year, folks. Why? Because after you discover how easy it is to put together a delicious, warm stuffing, you’ll never go back to the boxed kind.

Talk about party favorites! To make these nachos, all you have...
No Yeast Bread
We love our bread, we love our butter. But most of all, we love each other. PLEASE tell me you know what TV show this line is from! If you don’t…. It’s from “Madeline”, the cartoon series, which I’ve just learned was created in 1993. This French/Canadian show is about the life of a young, free-spirited girl in boarding school. She’s always heading on daring adventures in her yellow dress, yellow hat, and yellow umbrella. Madeline was an iconic part of my childhood. The most memorable and adorable scene is the one where the girls say grace before eating their food in the...

Flourless Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
These gluten-free banana chocolate chip muffins are the perfect snack food that you can gobble down in two bites. While I’d happily reach for these in the morning for a quick breakfast, I can totally picture this being wrapped up in a box and shipped as a Mother’s Day treat as well.

How to Make Oatmeal
This is your sign to pick up that bag of oats you’ve stashed away in the cupboard, never to see the light of day. If you think oatmeal is a bore to eat, I feel you.

It helps lower your blood sugar levels and does wonders for our digestion. Healthy foods need not be boring, though!
