Zabaglione

Having a farmer for a sister is the best. Seriously. When she worked at a dairy farm, she would bring home jugs of whole milk, perfect for making mozzarella or ricotta or other amazing cheeses. And the ice cream.... heaven! Now she's working at a chicken farm, and let me tell you, we have reaped…Read More

Easy Lemon Garlic Chicken Marinade

Since arriving in New York I’ve had to think about food and groceries differently. Instead of just ‘what do I need?’ and ‘how much will it cost?’, a third variable enters the equation: ‘how much can I carry?’ It’s been easy to just drive my car to the store, load up the back with whatever…Read More

Tidepool Jello Cups

Okay, so sometimes I go a little mad scientist in the kitchen. I get an idea in my head, and gosh darn it all, I'm going to try it and try it until it works. I was partly inspired by these adorable Gone Fishing Cupcakes on Three Kids and a Fish, and I really wanted to…Read More

East Coast Garlic Fingers with Donair Sauce

Ah pizza... is there anything more perfect? A slightly crispy crust, thick or thin, covered in a spicy tomato sauce and smothered with melted mozzarella... that is the stuff of dreams. The variations are endless: cauliflower crusts, cheesy layered deep dish, drooping thin crust, rounds of spicy pepperoni, tartly sweet barbecue sauce, roasted chicken, black…Read More

Strawberry Spinach Salad

Best part about nomad life? The second strawberry season is here!!! BEST. YEAR. EVER.

Nova Scotia strawberry season is upon us. And I seriously can’t stop eating them. I may…Read More

Mr. Nomato and I are trying to eat healthier, and part of that is cutting down the carbs, and the calories. Spaghetti squash is a fantastic alternative to regular spaghetti, with only a fraction of the carbs. Now, I know…Read More

Nightshade Free Backyard Burgers

Everyone knows, the staples of a barbecue are BURGERS. They’re always there, reliable, dependable, a simple ground meat patty slapped inside a delicious bun. Of course, most burgers are also usually slathered in nightshades, dripping in tomato-based barbecue sauce or topped with pools of ketchup and mustard (I see you paprika, you can run but you…Read More

Happy Summer Holiday! The kids are free, the sun is out, and Canada Day (July 1st) is almost upon us! I thought that in celebration I would share with you one of the most Canadian recipes I know - Rhubarb Crisp. Everyone grows rhubarb in Nova Scotia. If you have a garden, you probably have rhubarb.…Read More

Italian Wedding Soup

Okay, I’m officially in denial. I admit it. Summer is here, and here I am, making soup. I could make some sort of excuse, like drinking hot liquids makes it seem not so hot outside… or that I had leftovers in the fridge that I needed to get rid of… And while both of those excuses…Read More

Whole Wheat Pretzel Rolls

Let me be very clear: whole wheat is my nemesis. Now, I have nothing against whole wheat made by other people. In fact, I prefer it because it’s so much healthier. But when it comes to my own baking, it leaves me completely stumped because it’s so dense. I just cannot, CANNOT make it work,…Read More
