Why Friday Night? Because if you should choose to cook on Friday… **I actually think you shouldn’t and that we should be working harder to make #nocookfriday a thing.** But IF you should choose to, this is what you should make. 10 minutes. And it is heaven. Capellini takes all […]
Like Friday night takeout but better, and possibly even faster. This Easy Skillet Cashew Chicken takes all of about 20 minutes from start to finish, and it is delish! My husband loves to order Cashew Chicken with Yellow Bean Sauce when we go out for Chinese. Bites of chicken in […]
Making this Beef and Broccoli Chow Mein was… interesting… Pop quiz: What are you NOT supposed to put on a grease fire? You said water right? You’re right. I knew that too. Which is funny because what did I do when some old grease caught on fire in the bbq? […]
Who doesn’t love asparagus? My kids, that’s who. But the good news is that my husband and I got to pretty much devour this whole dish by ourselves. And holy yum is it good. A super fast and easy asparagus recipe that’s buttery and cheesy with a little crunch from […]
I have a new obsession friends… it’s called Spicy Dill Pickle Chips. Have you seen them? Lordy they are going to be the end of me. And guess what else is interesting?? After eating ridiculous amounts of these delicious chips straight up I thought it might be good to coat […]
I’m pretty sure bowl food is the answer to pretty much every dinner time problem. Picky eaters? Fill your own bowl. Don’t like your dinner? Not my fault, you assembled it. These Thai Curry Chicken Rice Bowls have all the fixings and all the flavours to make everyone happy. Pleasing […]
Two whipped cheeses. Plus Parmesan. Two kinds of gnocchi (because I found these cute little mini gnocchi that were way too hard to resist). Pools of browned butter. And lemon. You know, to keep it light. 😉 This sounds way more complex than it is. It’s really super easy, so […]
When life gives you leftover quinoa you make these. When life does not give you leftover quinoa you go make some quinoa and make these because they are that good. I first made these as a way to get some extra protein into my veggie daughter and they turned out […]
Friends, did you know that real Fettuccine Alfredo does not have cream in it?!! I did not know that. Absolutely no idea. I’m still putting cream in it, I just thought it was interesting. This is a healthier version of non-traditional Fettuccine Alfredo but you would never know it. Blending the […]
In my never ending mission to convert the kale haters of the world (“Hi” Father-in-Law!) I bring you the best kale salad I’ve ever made (since the last best kale salad I’ve ever made). But this one is seriously delicious. The combo of strawberries, balsamic & pepper is often seen […]
Welcome to my site! I'm a self-taught, home cook who pretty much lives in the kitchen. Or with my nose in a cookbook. Cooking is my passion, my obsession, my very favourite thing. I make a lot of really good comfort food with creative twists and bolder flavours. My food is slightly elevated but isn't too fussy. I'm not here to teach you how to cook, I'm here to inspire you, to show you something new and really, really good. And to make you hungry. In my home, in The Pypers Kitchen, this is what we eat.
