I think my favourite salad may just be one with lots of noodles. Slurping up saucy noodles is just so incredibly satisfying, right? Adding crunchy veg, and a delicious spicy peanut sauce takes it up a whole new level. So that’s exactly what I did when I made these soba noodles with peanut sauce. It’s got so much kick from garlic to the spicy taste of sriracha that I think I could put this sauce on anything. Plus, it’s the perfect cold soba noodle salad to take with you wherever you go.

As much as I love a creamy dairy filled sauce, sometimes, I also want a lighter version. And this creamy, dairy-free carrot pasta sauce is SO good, you won’t miss the cream or cheese at all. Made with roasted carrots, cashews and spices it’s extra creamy and also super bright and vibrant too. I love meal prepping a big batch of this and freezing leftovers for a quick weeknight dinner.

Salads don’t get the kind of love they deserve IMO. I mean, I get it, it’s not chocolate cake after all, but, when done right, salads deserve more. And this raw beet salad with carrots deserves ALL the praise. This salad is loaded with raw beets, shredded carrots, sliced pear, spiced lentils and almonds and an easy lemony dressing. It’s perfect for meal prep, spring lunches spent outside and sharing with those you love.

Things just get 10x cuter when they’re mini, right?! I’ve recently fallen in love with quail eggs. Not only are they mini and super cute, they’re also really tasty and a nice change from regular eggs. And they’re perfect in these crispy shredded potato nests. I’ve added some Mexican flavours with chorizo sausage, jalapeño and cilantro. These grab and go potato cups are great for meal prep too!

When you’re craving all the veggies! Go ahead and make some easy sheet pan roasted vegetables all on one tray. The combination of brussels sprouts, delicata squash and red onion cover your various veggie needs. And the sprinkling of za’atar on top brings all the flavour. The addition of pine nuts and halloumi make these sheet pan roasted veggies truly stand out.

One of my favourite things to order when I’m out at a restaurant is definitely fried calamari. But let’s be honest, deep frying (although delicious) is kinda intimidating when you’re doing it at home. Never mind the potential for flames to erupt from deep frying, it’s also kind of a pain in the butt to set it all up. Enter, the air fryer and these air fryer calamari! Crispy, easy, way less oil and absolutely delicious. And now it’s easy to enjoy calamari right at home!

My love for all things hot honey isn’t going anywhere. That sweet and spicy combination just gets me every.single.time. And when you combine that with chicken, something magical happens. Then again, something magical always happens whenever I eat chicken thighs. It’s my favourite part of the chicken, especially the bone-in and skin-on pieces, YES PLEASE! If you’re like me and love it too, then you’re gonna want to give this hot honey chicken a try. Serve alongside some crispy baby potatoes and kale and make it all in one pan too. What’s not to love about that?!

I do love salads, but I have a few guidelines when it comes to making and enjoying them. They have to be filling and hearty, they have to have some crunch (hello texture) and they need to be delicious. So, whenever I post a salad recipe, you can rest assured that it’s anything but boring. And I’ve been making and enjoying this vegan kale caesar salad recipe for years! But for some reason, I haven’t actually posted it on here, until now.

I’ve been loving lentils for a long time! And I usually find that people either love them or hate them. It’s kind of become my personal mission to change those lentil haters into lovers. One way to do that is to use the correct lentil for the job, and it doesn’t hurt to make them crispy. Beyond that, you’ll learn why certain lentils are better than others at getting them crispy. Let’s make some crispy lentils!

Looks like fall is now upon us! With summer coming to a close (seriously, how?!), fall is fast approaching. And although I’d love it to be summer longer, I do really love fall. The change in temperature also brings a change to the foods we eat as well. And this Thai red curry chicken is hearty, satisfying, spicy and oh so easy to make! It’s perfect for fall and winter with all those warming spices.
