I happen to take cookies VERY seriously. Because lets face it, if we’re gonna enjoy some cookies, they need to taste good. And these almond flour chocolate chip cookies are incredibly tasty. Soft and chewy with chunks of dark chocolate and brown butter make for a wicked bakery style taste.

Funny thing about Key lime pie: I hadn’t tried it until five or six years ago. For the longest time, I thought I wasn’t a “pie person.” But when I tried it, I fell in love. Yes, I’m late to the Key lime pie party, but that won’t stop me from trying to make up for lost time by whipping up this dessert any chance I get. Because the other thing about me is that I’m not much of a baker in the traditional sense. I like easy, no-bake, delicious desserts where I can hide all my mistakes and imperfections. So a no-bake pie crust, yes please! To be fair, my avocado Key lime pie in a jar is anything but authentic or traditional, but it’s delicious, and that’s all that matters. If you can get your hands on Key limes, feel free to use them. I’ve used regular limes just to make sure this “pie” is completely inauthentic, and I’m okay with that.

What could be more summery than this? Grilled chicken, check. Tequila and limes, check. Chicken skewers, check! All of the above are great indicators that we’re in pure summer mode and I for one, couldn’t be happier. Summer always flies by so quickly and I try to take full advantage when it’s here. One of the ways to do that is by firing up the grill and making these grilled tequila lime chicken thighs. These are packed with flavour and so simple to make. Because the last thing I want to do in the summer is spend time indoors prepping food. And luckily with this recipe, you won’t need to.

Who doesn’t love a sheet pan meal? Throwing everything on a sheet pan and cooking it at the same time is exactly what I need sometimes (ok most times). And this Greek sheet pan chicken is bursting with flavour! Letting the chicken marinade for a short time helps do that. Plus, you’ll throw on some potatoes, tomatoes, and a few other goodies to round it out to a full meal. Serve it with some pita and/or a side salad (if you’d like) and call it a day.

If you love chicken wings, especially crispy ones and Mexican food and flavours, you’re gonna love these Mexican chicken wings. Made with a simple dry rub and then air fried until perfectly crispy, they’re actual heaven. Once they’re air fried, go ahead and drizzle the lime crema, cotija cheese, cilantro and some serrano peppers for heat. Highly suggest pairing these air fryer wings with some guac and a marg (preferably on a sunny day) but honestly, you could eat these in the dead of winter and just blast the heat and pretend you’re somewhere warm. I do this ALL the time 😉

Often times the simplest recipes are the best. And these dry rubbed jerk spiced salmon skewers are definitely one of those. With a quick and easy prep time of about 5 minutes, you can have these ready to go. And you can easily sear these on a hot cast iron pan or on the BBQ. Serve these jerk salmon skewers over top of my quick and easy mango coleslaw for a perfectly balanced summer meal.

No bake anything for the win, amirite? Really, what’s not to love about no bake cheesecake. Not only is it way easier to make, you also really can’t mess these up. These healthy no bake cheesecake jars are so simple to make and taste amazing. They also happen to be gluten-free, and refined sugar free and I have an easy swap for a vegan cheesecake too.

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.

This is one delicious vegetarian main! If you’re not familiar with cauliflower steaks yet, I hope these entice you to give them a try. When sliced into steaks, they’re meatier than traditional florets. And they’re a whole lot of fun to eat too. Slathered with harissa paste, this smoky and spicy cauliflower packs a punch. Serve it with a side of spiced black lentils, and a dollop of yogurt to cool down the heat. You’re gonna love these harissa cauliflower steaks!

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?!
