Asparagus and Leek Dutch Baby

I can’t help but think about Spring. It feels thisclose so I’m already dreaming up dinners that are easy so we can take advantage of the fact that the weather is more mild and the days are longer. After all, if you think about it, Spring meals are inherently shorter to prepare too. Once we pack up the dishes that traditionally benefit from long, flavour building cook times like chilis and stews, we can look to dishes that lean on pantry staples and local fresh ingredients. A great example of this kind of dish is this Dutch Baby. Using pantry basics like ap flour, eggs and milk, you can create ..read more

Cheeseburger Soup

Soup skeptics who think they can’t make a meal out of a soup haven’t yet met the cheeseburger soup. This soup eats like a meal and has all the flavours of a well-constructed burger including bacon, cheese, pickles and sesame seed bun croutons. With cubed potatoes cooked right into the soup, I even thought of your French fries. OK, they’re not fried but they’re potatoes and that creamy soup base makes them pretty damn awesome. Sorry fries. Print Cheeseburger Soup This isn't your average soup. Every element you love of a burger including bacon, cheese, pickles and, of course, the meat is pack ..read more

Lasagna Soup

A comfort food is described as a nostalgic dish that has sentimental value to a person. As comfort dishes go, lasagna fits the bill for me in spades. However, the long simmer of a homemade sauce and then an assembly station at my parents’ kitchen table is not something I can replicate during the week for my own family. Using elements of my dad’s method for sauce, I created this easy soup that gives you the comfort of a lasagna on a hectic weekday. I can hear my dad lovingly laughing as he says, “lasagna can’t be a soup.” Print Lasagna Soup There is nothing more comforting that a homemade la ..read more

Sweet Potato and Apple Soup

It’s comfort week and I could easily spend our time together in this post complaining about the polar vortex snap that hit Canada, and most of the mid-west States, this week. However, it’s too obvious of a complaint and it’s also WAY too early for fussing about winter, especially since it’s not technically Winter yet. Instead I’ll get back to my regularly scheduled whining about the random circumstances in my day that make me cry. Recently, while I was doing a household chore that I dislike nearly as much as chipping ice from my windshield, I thought about how much extra time I’d have each wee ..read more

Cornbread Topped Chili

A quick spin through the SPC archives confirms that we are big chili fans. We’ve got white, chickpea, lentil, slow cooker pork, slow cooker beef, chicken, a chili mac…. oh, yes, and a turkey chili! Chilis are easy, they feed a crowd (or create leftovers), can be made quickly or allowed to simmer away for an hour. They freeze well, go to school in a thermos beautifully… what can’t they do? Which is why we just can’t stop trying new ways to serve up one of our favourite dinners. This recipe is probably our simplest chili yet. It’s very basic: just ground beef, some seasoning, tomatoes and b ..read more

Enchilada Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

I know you think you’re going to miss the tortilla when I tell you to make an enchilada mix, but, trust, the sweet potato will win you over. It’s not an accident we use sweet potatoes in a lot of our recipes or even used them for our name. With their dense nutritional benefits, the sweet potato is a friend to us in ways a donut can never be. (Oh donuts, I love you so.) This dish is also dense with deliciousness. The spice blend is a warm but zippy mix of cumin, cinnamon and chili powder, and the toppings give these loaded potatoes bursts of creaminess, sweetness and tanginess. It’s the ultimat ..read more

Guys, we did it. We survived January–the month that never ends. The way I think about it, Spring is almost here. Stay with me on this. February goes really fast, March is when we turn the clock ahead and there is March Break for the kids so we’re practically ready to start thinking about summer. Can you tell I do a great job of living in the moment? Before I get too ahead of myself, let’s talk February. While we’ve had a generally mild winter here in Toronto so far, I’m still serving up some kind of chili once a week. Chili is one of those recipes that just ticks all the boxes for me since it ..read more

I refuse to chat about resolutions. Or the gym. Or even eating healthy. There’s just too much pressure about all that stuff, especially this time of year. Instead I’m talking about a new recipe that happens to be easy and, yes, good for you. It’s also a great dinner for your family alongside a salad or some roasted veggies. It’s also completely vegetarian so it ticks that box too. If you had a resolution, this would be the perfect meal for it. Photo by Ashely van der Laan I need to share a little secret. I’ve been buying these great chicken and cheese taquitos from the freezer section of one o ..read more
