Hello! It’s been a while since my last recipe but I’m back in the kitchen again and today I’m going to share an easy 5 ingredient chicken feta pasta recipe by www.wellplated.com that I can’t wait for you guys to try yourselves! Feta isn’t often my 1st choice of cheese to use on a pasta but after attending a FETA PDO event recently, I felt like it was important for me to share what I’ve learned from the tasting. This event inspired me to use some of the feta PDO cheese that I found inside our goodie bag, and I’ve written more about feta and the event below. ALSO READ – Greek Lemon Chicken Recipe…

For the past 2 months I’ve been working with Loblaws on a monthly food campaign over on my Instagram. This project will continue every month until early next year! I don’t think I’ve mentioned this campaign on my blog as Ive been spending a little bit more time on my Instagram for this project. Essentially, I will be introducing a different monthly food item that will be readily available for purchase at your local Loblaws Grocery Store. Last month’s Food Alert Item was asparagus. One of my favourite ways to enjoy asparagus is to use it as a garnish with a good piece of steak. Asparagus is packed with flavour and is full of nutrients. There are…

This month I had an awesome opportunity to participate in Marine Stewardsip Council (MSC) #OceanToPlate Challenge. This challenge is all about letting Canadians know that there is a robust, traceable, certified option when it comes to sustainable seafood! The MSC runs the world’s most recognized certification and labelling program for sustainable seafood. It starts with certification of fisheries against our strict environmental standard and continues all throughout the supply chain so that all the companies handling certified seafood properly separate it, never mix it with non-certified product, correctly label it and have all the paperwork in place so that it’s traceable back to a certified source (the fishery). This level of assurance is only available through…
Bunner’s Chocolate Chip Cookies Makes 18 cookies These cookies were one of my first and biggest successes in the kitchen, and one that I’m still so proud of today.
