Some of these side dishes are almost good enough to stand on their own. So many delicious options here.
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 […]
Hoo boy do I ever love this tomato rice. I made a big batch of it for dinner with those chicken skewers I made a few days ago (linked at the bottom of the page) and then I just didn’t stop eating it. I’m still eating it. And just FYI, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Anyone else feeling like we need a little chocolate today??? Like we need some Double Peanut Butter Brownies?? It’s ok if you don’t feel that way. Maybe you’re springing through your week and are super happy to spend your day eating salad and downing green juice. That’s awesome. Good for […]
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 […]
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 […]
These noodles are inspired by my very favourite Chili Goma Ramen from a local (amazing) ramen restaurant. I really needed a fix but I didn’t have any of my own 20-hour pork broth kicking around, or any fresh handmade noodles. BUT!!! I did have an excessive amount of soba noodles […]
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.
