Call it breakfast, brunch, or supper, this Spring Greens Crustless Quiche with Chimichurri is a great way to highlight spring veggies. A beautiful egg and cream custard adorn asparagus, leeks, peas, and of course, I added some bacon in there for good measure. Dot with cheese and bake until just set. Serve this up with a drizzle of Chimichurri sauce and avocado. Quiche is a great make-ahead as it is also great served at room temperature. I only had 4 eggs left this morning and a bunch of beautiful green veggies to use up, so this is where the inspiration for this recipe came from this morning. Quiche is Versatile…

Tomato Soup with Lentils and Caraway
This Tomato Soup with Lentils and Caraway is a simple and delicious soup. Caraway really compliments the tomatoes. Comfort in a bowl. I made the other day using up the bits of veggies I had left in my fridge. These are rough measurements as I didn’t intend to blog this, but the soup turned out really yummy so I thought I would still share. San Marzano tomatoes are a little extra cost-wise, but I think the flavour is worth the extra dollars. Also, use real Parmigiano Reggiano for this, it is also worth the dollar for the flavour. Save your rind, I like to actually freeze my parmesan rinds as…

Bacon and Potato Tacos with Roasted Poblano Guacamole
You can pretty much put anything delicious in a taco. These Bacon and Potato Tacos with Roasted Poblano Guacamole were inspired by sifting through my fridge trying to use up what we had in there. I had made some Guacamole with Roasted Poblano and had some frozen corn tortillas so I figured that tacos were a must! I love how easy and quick and adaptable they are. These Bacon and Potato Tacos with Roasted Poblano Guacamole are so good. Corn tortillas filled with bacon and potatoes seasoned with some garlic and serrano pepper and then topped with some grated pecorino romano and doused of course in hot sauce. I hesitated…

Potato Pizza with Bacon and Chives
OK for those of you that are still working on your New Years resolutions, this recipe might not be for you. As for the rest of us…..Double Carbs with this Potato Pizza with Bacon and Chives! Heck yeah! This pizza requires the use of a mandoline. Which if you have one, you’ll know it’s an awesome kitchen tool, but be CAREFUL! The blades are very sharp – you do NOT want to slice your finger in one of these, trust me. You will want to slice your baby potatoes very thinly so that they will be done cooking at the same time that your pizza is (this way you do…

Pasta Carbonara
Carbonara has to be one of my favorite pasta dishes of all time. Not only is it delicious, it’s also super quick to make with minimal ingredients that you may just have laying around already. When you feel like something indulgent, this is it! My boys actually used to fight for seconds when I made this. So if you have growing teenagers, you may want to double this recipe…otherwise, this should serve about 4 people (or 1 teenage boy). In my opinion, there are a few key ingredients to making a good carbonara. The first being good pasta (my favorite brands for this are Barilla or De Cecco). You also…
