Some of these side dishes are almost good enough to stand on their own. So many delicious options here.
…and Bacon!! Ok friends, these Marinated Brussels Sprouts with Maple Balsamic and Bacon are the new best thing you’ve ever eaten and I would not lie about an important thing like that. I must tell you that my daughter and I ate a whole lot of these babies straight off […]
Say hello to your (my) new favorite kale salad… This Tahini Kale Salad might just be the most festive kale salad ever. The colors are spectacular and it is just bursting with flavors and textures. I’m so in love with it. We’re into holiday season now and I always find […]
Pillowy, soft, crispy edged, sweet & salty heaven… Fluffy Black Pepper Focaccia Genovese with Grapes & Rosemary! So perfect for Fall. Soft, pillowy bread with a golden brown crust topped with rosemary, flaky salt, freshly cracked black pepper and Coronation Grapes. “Doesn’t she mean Concord Grapes?” No, she doesn’t. 😉 […]
Creamy, rich sesame sauce in five minutes. I don’t know what this Goma Dressing wouldn’t be good on and if someone doesn’t keep an eye on me there’s a good chance I’m going to sit and eat the whole bowl of it with a spoon, which would be kind of […]
How have I gone this long without telling you this??? This Instant Pot Jasmine Rice is hands-down my favourite rice. And I make a LOT of rice. Whether it’s for soup, fried rice, rice bowls or salads, I make rice multiple times a week. This is my favourite way to […]
…with Parmesan and Vermouth. What if I don’t have vermouth? Can I still make this? Of course you can my friend! Read on…. I made this Risotto al Limone with Vermouth instead of white wine and let me tell you why… it is currently dry January in my house. I […]
…with cherries, goat cheese & tarragon brown butter vinaigrette. This Golden Beet Salad… it’s all about sweet golden beets tossed together with plump, tart dried cherries, creamy crumbled goat cheese and then!!! Then I douse the whole works in an irresistible browned butter tarragon vinaigrette and I just don’t know […]
These Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts are quite possibly the best sprouts I’ve ever had. And in the words of Junie B. Jones (Moms and little girls will know who that is)… ‘that’s not bragging, you can ask anyone’. You know when you go to a restaurant and they make those […]
These low and slow Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes absolutely explode with flavour, are ridiculously easy to make and are good on pretty much anything. In the end I used these to make something amazing that I’ll tell you about soon. In the beginning I ate a lot of them straight from […]
My girl and I created this savoury baked beans recipe together last year when I was making ribs for some guests and I needed a vegetarian dish for her and planned on making some homemade baked beans. That was the moment I found out that she thinks sweet baked beans […]
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.
