Spinach and Artichoke Dip
This Spinach and Artichoke Dip evokes so many memories for me. It reminds me of amazing days on snow, skiing with friends. Of relaxing in a bar at the end of the day with a few beers and snacks. And of the many ski trips I’ve had where I’ve eaten it. It was discovered it […]

Snapper and Crab Cakes
These Snapper and Crab Cakes make me think of my dad. He has been making the original Rick Stein Crab Cake version for as long as I can remember and they are always a favourite. This version is based off his original recipe with the main seafood coming from the snapper instead of crab. And […]

Quick Chicken and Corn Soup
Gosh I love discovering recipes like this quick Chicken and Corn Soup. Creating something delicious out of not much is one of my favourite ways to cook!
