Easy Roasted Garlic
Have you experienced the magic of roasted garlic? There is pretty much nothing better than taking a slice of a crusty baguette, drowning it in olive oil and balsamic vinegar and mashing several cloves of roasted garlic right on top. Oh my god. The best part about roasted garlic is that it is so easy to make at home. Besides my crusty baguette fantasy, there are so many other ways you can utilize roasted garlic. I love it in mashed yams for Thanksgiving or in Caesar salad dressing (stay tuned for this recipe!) If you’re not a huge garlic lover than definitely give roasted garlic a try. It has a…

Roasted Honey Chili Potatoes
While in India I was introduced to one of the yummiest things I have ever eaten – “honey chili potato”. I was at a restaurant, stuffed to the brim from an amazing veggie curry with garlic naan bread but after one taste of these honey chili potatoes, I just couldn’t stop. This dish normally uses french fries as the base but I wanted to lighten things up and avoid the deep-fryer. Simple, roasted potatoes do the trick as they still get nice and crispy on the outside and stay fluffy on the inside. A recipe inspired by the 'honey chili potato' I had the pleasure of indulging in while…

Roasted Garlic Mashed Yams
Canadian Thanksgiving is this weekend and I have the perfect side dish for your family table. Roasted garlic mashed yams….OM NOM NOM!! I could eat these as a main course, but that is beside the point… Also I’m confused as to whether I’m talking about yams or sweet potatoes…someone help me out. I think in North America we refer to these orange-fleshed sweet potatoes as yams. 2 whole heads of roasted garlic go into this perfect Autumn dish. I love roasted garlic because it’s so much more sweet and mellow than regular raw garlic. I pair it up with fresh thyme, but you could use any fresh herb that you…

Fresh Vegetarian Pea Soup
I love soup, and pea soup is one of my favourites. It’s light, healthy, and easy to make. I am especially fond of pea soup after one of my recipes for it was published in a cookbook! I made pea soup the other day, and the recipe I used was very similar to my own Spring Pea Soup. The difference was that for once, I had fresh peas on hand! I always make soup with frozen peas, but thanks to the garden this year, I had a huge bag of fresh peas to use! I topped the soup off with a dollop of Greek yogurt for a bit of extra…
