Strawberry Muffins
Muffins are a great breakfast or snack. There are many reasons why I believe this to be true but the main reason has to be their versatility. Once you perfect a good base batter it is easy to add a whole host of different ingredients to make endless varieties of muffins. It just so happened…

Cider Braised Chicken Thighs
There’s nothing more comforting on a chilly autumn day than a piping hot meal that evokes a sense of comfort. It’s always a cherry on top if that comforting meal is also prepared in just one pot minimizing the dish clean up to maximize time spent cuddle up on the couch. For me, this one…

Quinoa Salad with Asparagus and Goat Cheese
I am a self-professed salad junkie. 9 times out of 10 if I am going out to eat at a restaurant I am ordering a salad. Generally they get a bad rap for being boring and basic but that is not always the case. This salad is full of flavor and textures while also being…

In my opinion there is no simpler pleasure then dunking a sweet, crisp cookie into a hot cup of tea. This affinity for cookies and tea was acquired during my time living in England and something that has stuck with me ever since. I’m always looking for new cookies to add to my repertoire and…

Lobster Cakes
I have been dreaming of Maine lately. It is a place that is near and dear to my heart, a place synonymous with so many amazing memories for me. By default, I cannot think about Maine without craving lobster. I don’t think there’s a person out there that would argue that Maine and lobster don’t…

Roasted Baby Potatoes with Harissa Yogurt
A crispy, golden roasted potato tends to triumph all other side dishes and steals the show. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone that didn’t like crispy potatoes, and if I have clearly they weren’t very memorable. The humble potato is one of the most versatile ingredients to work with.
