I recently bit the bullet and decided to invest in a cast iron skillet. The lofty price tag for a mere frying pan has always put me off, but I saw this recipe on Laura in the Kitchen and could not wait a second further. I did some research and marched down to my local… Continue reading Crispy Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches
Thai Green Curry is my absolute favourite dish to get at any Thai place. The sweetness of the coconut milk is balanced beautifully by the spicy chilis, and the smoothness of the sauce is counteracted by the crunch of the veggies you wish to include. I have always veered away from making Thai dishes (or any… Continue reading Spicy Thai Green Curry
You know those days when you come home from work and you’re just exhausted. All you want to do is drop your keys on the ground, followed by throwing your body after them, and finally curling into a ball and napping into the next century. But you’re also so hungry since you missed lunch and had… Continue reading “Too-Easy” Juicy Lemon Chicken Breasts
This is a staple dish of mine that I make at least once a month. Only one pan is required here so clean up is super easy, and if you are eating alone, the fajita mixture reheats beautifully. There are only a few fresh ingredients that you will need but chances are, you will have… Continue reading Flank Steak & Bell Pepper Fajitas

I have been on the search for healthier, heartier salads for a few reasons. Firstly, in welcoming Ramadan, I find it best if I break my fast with healthy, hearty filling meals that won’t make me pant and sweat afterwards as if I had just run a marathon. Second, winter is the time of year… Continue reading Mango, Wild-Rice, Feta & Nut Salad
My first dessert post! Those who know me personally will know that posting a dessert this late in the game is surprising. I was a baker before I was a cook. There’s comfort in knowing that as long as you measure and follow directions accurately, there is no way you can mess up baking. In any… Continue reading Classic Decadent Chocolate Cake
All it takes is two words to have me salivate on demand: “the Keg.” I typically don’t like chain restaurants and if I’m having a sit down dinner with friends, it will likely always be at an independent establishment but all the rules and conceptions are tossed out the window when it comes to the… Continue reading Easy and Delicious Pan and Oven Steak
I am a fan of potatoes in every form. Whipped, mashed, smashed, baked, roasted, twice-baked- you named it, I love it. They are such a versatile staple to have in your pantry, and last long enough that you can create a masterpiece in a pinch with only a few additional ingredients you presumably already have on… Continue reading Garlic Whipped Red Potatoes
During winter, I become a bear. I eat loads and load of comfort foods in order to store fat for hibernation. Okay sure, I don’t hibernate in the traditional sense, but it’s the time of year where I feel it is socially acceptable to stay holed up in my apartment, and act like a recluse… Continue reading Radish Feta Mint Kale Summer Fresh Salad
