I am a huge salad lover and rarely a day goes by that I don’t eat a big bowl of something that would be considered salad. I have a big passion for kale, which may be weird, but i just love the stuff, as you’ll probably see here…
This Kale Beet Salad is part of my never ending quest to convert people who don’t like certain foods to like them. And I’m not messing around here… this is me taking on the beet haters, the kale haters AND the blue cheese haters… all in one bowl! Just one […]

I first created this fresh peach salad recipe when I was a teenager. And friends, I’m not gonna lie, that was a while ago… easily more than ten years (wink, wink). Anyhoo… it’s definitely stood the test of time and it is so delicious. The sweet peaches and spiced cashews […]
How I handle my Spicy Dill Pickle Chip craving when I also need to eat my veggies. This Cauliflower Crunch Spicy Dill Pickle Salad… because you can’t live on Spicy Dill Pickle Chips alone. Don’t ask how I know this, I just know ok? Sheesh! I mean, a new chip […]

I adore butter lettuce and I adore this salad. It’s a funny story though… the whole inspiration for this salad was a bottle of raspberry red wine vinegar that I bought thinking it was regular old red wine vinegar, put in something that should definitely NOT taste like raspberry and […]
When life gives you leftover cornbread… well it wasn’t “life” exactly, it was my mother-in-law who made us some amazing cornbread and because it was too good to waste I did what any sensible person would do… I fried it in butter and threw it in a Southwest Salad! This […]
I’m starting to wonder if my love of salads is more a love of salad dressings… I mean, a Strawberry Mango Avocado Salad is a delicious thing in and of itself, but this dressing… I am all about the dressing… You know what? I’m eating my veggies. All is good. […]
I really wanted to just eat this dressing with a spoon. Like soup. Thought that might be frowned upon though, so I didn’t. But it’s so good! So is this salad. You see, arugula salad is often on the menu around here. So much so that my family banned me […]
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.
