    Sides and Appetizers

    Side dishes, like Balsamic Green Beans, can become the star the of any plate. Discover sides made to impress. Appetizers that bring flavors to your meal and get people chatting around platters and tables, like Pear and Blue Cheese Endive Boats. And delicious salads, like Mediterranean Orzo Salad with Grapes and Carrot Ribbon Salad, to add to your meal, or be your meal. I love making Crunchy Quinoa and Lentil Salad and keeping it in the fridge, ready to go for a quick lunch or intro to dinner.

    Welcome,

    I’m Christy

    a happy wife and mother to three boys, a nutritionist, a food lover and a Canadian. Creating and experimenting in the kitchen is my idea of an afternoon well spent. To me, a clean kitchen is an empty canvas of possibility and that means my kitchen never stays clean for long. My dream is that one or more of the recipes I share here will inspire you, perhaps even becoming a cherished family favourite.
