Silky caramelized onions, nutty gruyere, red wine and a rich flavorful broth. Mmmm I like that. What more could you want? Get yourself together, you’re drooling. I see you!…

Blueberry Lemon Loaf with Lemon Glaze
This Blueberry Lemon Loaf is a slice of summer
This blueberry lemon loaf is a slice of summer! This was the first time my fiancé and I have ever argued over the last piece of anything! For real. This super light and moist loaf raised the bar for my newbie baking skills. The sweet and tangy combination is addicting and I would serve this recipe at a summer brunch or as a dessert.

Chilled Cucumber Soup
It was crazy-hot in the Bay Area this weekend and my AC-less apartment was like a sauna. For pretty much everyone else in Canada and the USA this is totally normal, but for us in San Francisco we aren’t used to such extreme temperatures. At its peak, temperatures soared to 32C/91F and I retreated to the beach with my main squeeze and perhaps a watermelon beer or two.

Smoked Salmon Benedict with Avocado
This Smoked Salmon Benedict with Avocado is gluten-free for my celiac friends!
One thing I absolutely LOVE about living in San Francisco, is how seriously people take brunch! San Franciscans have definitely gotten brunch & day drinking down to a science. Some popular restaurants are only open for brunch, 9am-3pm. It’s so popular they are able to shut their doors in the afternoon and probably laugh amongst themselves at all of the patrons nursing their hangovers with bottomless mimosa’s….
Herbed Crème Fraîche Dressing
Drizzle this Herbed Crème Fraîche Dressing over my Smoked Salmon Benedict with Avocado
Lately I’ve been trying to eat more salads for dinner but am SO bored of the same old recipes. I had some hot house smoked salmon in the fridge and wanted to build a dressing around it. It didn’t take me long to reach for the crème fraîche. Indulgent I know, but a couple of tablespoons really make this dressing something to talk about….
Summer Squash Gratin
SERVE THIS FAMILY STYLE AT A SUNDAY DINNER
Did you know the United States is the biggest importer of summer squash? I didn’t! Until last week when another shopper at the farmers market told me. I thought they must of been misinformed but as I researched, I realized most of our squash does come from Mexico. Like the VAST majority comes from Mexico. We do grow a small percentage locally; Florida, New York and California producing the most.

Classic Basil Pesto
Classic Basil Pesto is my all time favorite recipe!
If you were to ask what food I could eat for the rest of my life, I would most definitely cut you off by saying ‘anything pesto!’. I’m OBSESSED and don’t foresee this changing anytime soon. I love classic basil pesto sooo much that when I get a dog, I’m going to name him pesto! Cute right? You must have a seriously good personality to rock a name like Pesto!…
Mostly Veggie Tuna Melt
Tuna melts and tuna salad on fresh greens is definitely a regular in house. It’s something you can whip up quickly and modify the ingredients based on what you have.
My fiancés idea of comfort food is a nice creamy tuna melt and he’s as happy as a little clam when I make this for him. He’s going to kill me when he reads this.
