My love for veggies is probably as strong as my love for veggies. As weird as that is, it’s true. Read on for some super tasty vegetable recipes that will not disappoint.
Creamy, cozy Garlic Brown Butter Mashed Carrots and Rutabaga made with broth-simmered vegetables, nutty garlic brown butter, and a sprinkle of parsley. This simple fall side dish feels special enough for the holidays but easy enough for a weeknight dinner. Old school comfort food fancied up just a touch. The […]
arugula. chickpeas. feta. maple syrup dressing… SO good. I wasn’t quite sure how to properly label this Butternut Squash and Farro dish. A salad? A bowl? A meal? A side dish? Do we care? No. No we don’t. What we care about is that it is absolutely, positively delicious, and […]
The coziest, creamiest hug in a bowl you’ll ever have. If this Carrot and Butternut Squash Soup isn’t fall in a bowl then I don’t know what is. Sweet butternut squash and carrots simmered with apple and onion, scented with warm spices and maple syrup and topped with crispy fried […]
And Chickpeas. And Tahini Herb Dressing. And Crunchy Cheddar Crisps. A Chopped Kale Salad with so much good stuff in it you might forget that it’s good for you. Except don’t forget because it’s important that we remember – and also loudly announce to all of those around us – […]
Don’t worry… I know she’d agree. This raw Carrot Pineapple Salad is fresh, bright and a flavour & texture explosion. Julienned (or shredded – more on this later) carrots, fresh sweet pineapple, salty feta cheese, bright mint, buttery pistachios and tart, chewy cranberries (or raisins – more on that later […]
The easiest impressive meal you’ll ever make! This Arugula Salad with Steak is one of my very favourite meals. If I was eating alone and cooking myself dinner there is a very, very good chance this is what I’m having. Fresh, peppery baby arugula is dressed perfectly (if I do […]
You have NEVER had sweet potatoes like this before. (And if you have please don’t tell me because I’m really proud of this one.) Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potatoes are something I didn’t know I needed in my life and now I just can’t live without ’em. Crispy roasted sweet potatoes […]
These are so easy and SOOOOOO good. These Cast Iron Potatoes are “the best potatoes I’ve ever had”. Direct quote from my daughter as she sat munching on them right after I made my second batch that day. They are that good. Honest. They are also insanely easy to make. […]
The crostini is just a suggestion, but trust me… it’s insanely good. Tomato Garlic Confit. Cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes or any other small-ish tomatoes) and whole garlic cloves cook slowly in a rich olive oil bath and transform into a sweet, savoury, buttery dish of irresistible deliciousness. Honestly, what […]
My favourite non-salad salad. Ohhhhhhh man… This Warm Potato Bacon Salad… Roasted potatoes tossed with thick-cut salty bacon, peppery green arugula and topped with a creamy parmesan dressing. It begs the question… Is a salad still a salad if it’s swimming in a rich, creamy dressing loaded with sour cream, […]
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.
