You can’t go wrong with big spicy meatballs…especially when you start to over do it on the turkey and potatoes. The Pueblo Black Garlic hot sauce, with flavours of Scotch Bonnet, create a complex spicy flavour which gives these balls some punch. I also became obsessed with couscous after having it soaked in this zesty roasted red pepper sauce. Couscous walks that perfect line between rice and pasta - similar to an orzo pasta.
Read MoreAdd some spicy twists to a traditional pork loin dinner with a tasty Pueblo Chipotle Berry Glaze. I wanted to keep making little changes to more standard dishes . Instead of mashed potatoes - I wanted something with brighter colours and a bit more veggie taste - introducing butternut squash pumpkin sage puree! The Pueblo Cranberry Spice sauce was the “cherry on top” tying everything together as it complemented each part of the dish.
Read MoreThe first recipe for 12 Days of Pueblo is here - using one of my favourite flavours - Coffee & Cacao! A unique and pleasing combination that adds a little spice to any dish. In this case, I added it to every step of the recipe - the roasted pecans, the maple balsamic dressing, and the dipping sauce! The hints of coffee were also amplified by adding ground coffee to the pecan coating for the chicken breast.
Read MoreMy ever-loving obsession with scones continues with this savoury and cheesy variety. By roughly cutting in the cold butter into the dry ingredients and firmly pressing the dough together into a circular shape, a perfect flakey texture can be achieved. The dough can be a little bit harder to deal with when it’s a bit dry but the results are unbeatable. Pair with Tomato Basil Soup!
Read MoreA spicy take on a classic comfort food. I made the mistake of adding three spicy Thai Chili’s to my first batch, and it was much too hot for me to consume. On the second try I scaled it back to one pepper, and it had the perfect amount of kick. You can also omit the pepper altogether if you are just looking for a savoury and herby flavour.
Read MoreThere’s nothing like a warm curry dish on a cold winter’s day. I especially love using salmon as a healthy protein, the flakey texture pairs perfectly with the fluffy rice and creamy coconut flavoured curry sauce. Topping the dish with crushed peanuts and green onions adds some crunchy and fresh contrast to the dish.
Read MoreI have officially perfected my butternut squash soup! The robust selection of my favourite harvest vegetables adds vibrant flavours and colours to this dish. The addition of coconut milk smooths out the soup to the perfect creaminess. By topping with crispy kale and bacon, you get a contrast in textures to really take this dish over the top.
Read MoreA fun fresh fall recipe straight from one of my online cooking classes. This recipe was created with vegetarians in mind - with an option to add bacon for those who can’t go without meat.

Read MoreI perfected my favourite seasonal recipe - Pumpkin Spice Scones. These moist mountains of spicy goodness with white chocolate chunks are what my basic dreams are made of.
Read MoreAll the bright fall vegetables you can get your hands on blended together with fresh ginger and garlic to make a smooth, sweet, and spicy soup.
A great dish for summer, packed with fresh veggies and easily transportable to the back deck or on a picnic. Get creative with the fillings - switching it up to pure vegetable filling, shrimp instead of chicken, add rice noodles instead of cabbage slaw, and/or use a spicy chili sauce to dip your cold rolls in - the options are endless!
Read MoreTurkey burgers are a nice alternative to beef, which tends to make me feel really full and a little sluggish. Paired with a low carb keto cheese bun and fresh orange salsa - this meal is the perfect balance of salty and sweet. The orange salsa also makes a great topping for a side of mixed greens.
Read MoreQuick breads are perfect for quarantine baking - they don’t require any yeast or rising time (which is especially helpful if you can’t find any yeast at your grocery store). These puppies are fairly easy to master after a few tries and they make the best addition to a nice bowl of soup or with bacon and eggs for brunch.
Read MoreAfter several variations and trials I’ve finally developed my favourite (so far) butternut squash soup recipe! By adding golden beets, roasting the garlic with the vegetables, and adding extra water I have mastered the flavour and consistency of this amazing soup!

Read MoreThe most comforting soup to ease those long days inside when it’s cold outside (or you know, you’re quarantined due to a global pandemic). Either way - it hits the spot even when you eat it six times in a row…
Read MoreOne of my favourite winter staples - the incredibly versatile and always delicious roasted spaghetti squash! What I love about roasted spaghetti squash “noodles” is that you can pair them with almost any combination of sauce, vegetable, and protein typically used in a traditional pasta dish and you won’t be disappointed.
Read MoreAll the comfort of cheesy broccoli soup - except you know exactly what’s going into it! The added touch of sweet root vegetables bring a unique twist to a classic soup recipe. I made this recipe with a food processor, but next time I would use my immersion hand blender to get a smoother consistency.
