Irish Soda Bread

Going out for brunch used to be one of my favourite things to do when I lived in Montreal. I can think of at least half a dozen places around

Three of my favorite, easy egg recipes including a triple decker avocado egg salad.

This ultra creamy dish is so delicious it's hard not to eat it before you get to the table. You'll also love that it comes together under 30 minutes.

This savoury bread pudding can be used for entertaining, but it's also a great lunch for kids since it has all the flavours of a ham and cheese sandwich and tucks nicely in a thermos.

If the 21st of September officially ends summer th

If the 21st of September officially ends summer then we’re formally ushering in one pot, comfort dishes like this Baked Gnocchi Lasagna with Sausage. It’s not your average lasagna but weeknight dinners aren’t your average meals. This lasagna understands that the assignment is speed and deliciousness. Oh, and gooeyness! That’s on the brief too.

Baked Gnocchi Lasagna with Sausage
Makes: 8 servings

3 Tablespoons olive oil
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 shallot, finely diced
4 large cloves garlic, minced
2-3 mild Italian sausage, cut into slices
28 oz can diced peeled tomatoes
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 cups baby spinach
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1 1/2 pounds gnocchi
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Fresh basil, for serving

1. Preheat oven to 400F. In a 12-inch oven-proof skillet over medium heat, warm your olive oil. Add red pepper flakes and shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes.

2. Add garlic and sausage slices and cook through and lightly brown, about 5 minutes.

3. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper. Roughly break up the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon. Simmer on low for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens a bit. Remove from heat.

3. Add gnocchi, spinach, and spoonfuls of ricotta. Stir. Top with grated parmesan and mozzarella slices.

4. Bake for 15 minutes uncovered until bubbling. Serve with fresh basil if desired.

Breakfast for dinner is one of my favorite ways to

Breakfast for dinner is one of my favorite ways to get an easy and fast dinner on the table. The weekend brunch star of waffles transforms from sweet to savory with a few additions to the batter like these family-friendly waffle suppers: pepperoni pizza and pesto parmesan. But really the options are endless since savory waffles are a great strategy for tackling leftovers and minimizing food waste too. They’re a great canvas for whatever you throw at them. Use the same batter below but add in your refrigerator leftovers like spinach, cheese or even sautéed veggies. They also make an awesome make-ahead school lunch. I mean, is there anything they can’t do?! Sorry syrup but you’ve been shelved.
🍅
Savory Waffles

21/2 cups spelt flour
2 tsps baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1 cup milk
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, beaten
2 Tbsps oil

For pepperoni pizza waffle:
Pizza sauce
Chopped pepperoni
Diced mozzarella cheese
Fresh basil
🍅
For pesto waffle:
Pesto sauce
Freshly grated parmesan cheese

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder and oregano. Add the milk, buttermilk, eggs and oil; stir until blended but with small lumps. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat your waffle iron to desired temperature.

Ladle the batter into waffle iron and sprinkle with mozzarella, pepperoni and basil. Cook the waffles until golden and crisp. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, more basil and a side of pizza sauce for dipping.

Sheet Pan Sausage and Peppers has been know to sav

Sheet Pan Sausage and Peppers has been know to save my butt during a busy week. Everything is easy to prep and cooks faster. You can also easily substitute vegetarian sausages. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t pull this one out of my back pocket this week during back to school. I wish a bottle of tequila fit in my back pocket. 😉

Maple Glazed Sausage and Pepper With Potato Sheet Pan
Makes: 4 servings

3 tbsps extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon maple syrup
3/4 tsp tsp salt, divided
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp dried oregano
2 cups mini potatoes, halved
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into equal sized pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced into equal sized piece
1 yellow onion, sliced in equal sized pieces
4 mild or hot Italian sausages, cut into equal sized pieces (vegetarian sausages can be used)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Method
1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
2. Line a large, rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray or parchment paper; set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, add the potato and toss with 1 tbsp of oil and 1/2 tsp salt.
4. Scatter potatoes on prepared sheet pan and cook in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until they begin to brown and soften.
5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the remaining oil, maple syrup, 1/4 tsp salt, red pepper flakes, oregano and pepper.
6. Using the same bowl from the potatoes, add your peppers, onion, and sausage. Toss with maple syrup mixture.
7. Carefully remove sheet pan from oven and scatter the sausage and pepper mix amongst the potatoes in a single layer.
8. Return sheet pan to the oven and cook another 15 to 18 minutes, or until sausage is browned on edges and vegetables are tender.
9. Sprinkle sheet pan with parmesan and serve.

I’m interrupting our regularly scheduled back-to

I’m interrupting our regularly scheduled back-to-school content with my prep for a tiktok or not segment on @morningshowca This viral date bark is less peanut butter cup and more Snickers bar. I didn’t have plain dates. (They’re what gives the caramel gooeyness of a Snickers bar.) Instead i used the coconut covered date rolls. I’m not mad at the hint of coconut flavour they gave them and they still delivered the gooey factor. If you like Snickers, peanut butter or basically anything ridiculously yummy, please meet your new favorite bark. Also, pro tip: always lick the chocolate bowl.

Chocolate Date Bark
20 medjool dates,pitted and halved
1/3 cup peanut butter, melted
6 oz. Dark chocolate, finely chopped
1 Tbsps butter
2 Tbsps chopped peanuts
Coarse salt

1. Place chocolate and butter in a double boiler or microwave and melt. Stir together.
2. On parchment paper, closely layout dates. Cover with another sheet of parchment and roll them out with a rolling pin.
3. Drizzle with peanut butter and spread to coat.
4. Sprinkle with peanut bits.
5. Drizzle and spread to coat with dark chocolate.
6. Sprinkle with more peanut bits and coarse salt.
7. Transfer parchment to a baking sheet.
8. Freeze in the freezer for at least 2 hours. Cut into squares and enjoy. Keep stored in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container.

No Yeast Buttery Garlic Knots are exactly what you

No Yeast Buttery Garlic Knots are exactly what your dinner needs. They take only 10 minutes to put together and I bet you already have all the ingredients in your pantry. When you fall in love, you can thank Scarlett because she’s been making these for us for years. It’s why we keep her.

No Yeast Buttery Garlic Knots
Makes: 7 knots
8 Tbsps unsalted butter melted, divided
1/2 cup + 3 tbsp milk
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 Tbsp Italian Seasoning

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk 2 Tbsps butter, milk, sugar, salt and baking powder. Gradually stir in flour until a dough forms. Gather it together with your hands and make a disc. It’s ok if you don’t use a bit of the flour.

Divide dough into 7 pieces. Roll them out into about 4-inch cords.

In a small bowl, mix remaining melted butter and seasoning.

Dip cords into butter mixture and then knot. Place knots on baking sheet.

Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until the tops are browned.

Breakfast Enchiladas with soft scrambled eggs, cheese and spinach are cozy in a creamy salsa verde sauce. I’m not saying you need these for back to school because some of us are denial, but a hectic morning is how this make ahead recipe likes to roll. They were designed to save the day.

There is nothing that tastes like summer more than

There is nothing that tastes like summer more than a Blueberry Grunt. A version of a cobbler from Nova Scotia, a grunt cooks down blueberries and then tops them with a tender biscuit dough. Easily made on your stove top, this dessert has a long history of happy memories tied to it for our family. This recipe was also featured in our second book The School Year Survival Cookbook. If summer has to end, then it’s going to go out on the absolutely most perfect and delicious note.
🫐🫐🫐
Blueberry Grunt
Yield: 6 servings

4 cups blueberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsps fresh lemon juice
2 tsps lemon zest

Dumplings
2 cups spelt four
4 tsps baking powder
1 tsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
pinch of allspice
1/4 cup cold butter
1 1/4 cups milk, more if necessary

Method
Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and allspice into a bowl. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in butter until in coarse crumbs. Mix in the milk using a fork until the dough comes together. (You may need to drizzle a bit more milk in as the dough is very dry.)

In a 9-inch deep Dutch oven or skillet with a lid, mix blueberries, sugar, water, lemon juice and zest. Bring berry mixture to a boil then reduce to a low simmer.

Drop about 1/4 cup balls of the dough into the berries. Cover with a lid and allow dumplings to cook, about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the dumplings comes out clean.

Serve immediately with scoops of vanilla ice cream, a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and more lemon zest.

This is the best chocolate cake I have ever had. M

This is the best chocolate cake I have ever had. My family firmly agrees with that statement too. The recipe was given to me by @jmacspeaks and it belonged to his grandma Cartwright. Ive shared it here before, but I’ve made it so much this summer i had to share it again. I had to share because it’s made in ONE bowl. It has NO creaming, no sifting, no fussing. It doesn’t care if your eggs are room temp, and it doesn’t mind if you don’t have a mixer; old fashioned elbow grease works just fine too. Its reliability is a comfort. As a person who creates and tests most of her own recipes, i don’t take it lightly when someone shares a beloved family recipe with me, especially one so strongly related to a special person or time. If you love chocolate, give it a try. Make it your own, share it, spread it around like love since that’s the definition of cake any way. I like to think Grandma Cartwright would be happy to be in so many homes. Below is the recipe exactly how Grandma C wrote it. Enjoy and happy weekend friends.

Grandma Cartwright’s Chocolate Cake
Written by Grandma C:
Preheat the oven to 350 and grease an 8 or 9-inch bundt pan or springform pan. Combine in a mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes:
2 cups granulated sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsps baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Add:
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup strong black coffee
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pour into prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Frost with chocolate frosting.

Panzanella, baby! Stale bread soaked in an easy dr

Panzanella, baby! Stale bread soaked in an easy dressing, summer’s freshest tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, yellow pepper, parmesan and fresh basil. It’s a garden on a plate. An easy side dish. A friend to any main. Some use olives. I left them off because I’m the boss here. You’re the boss of your kitchen, so you can do what you want. And if anyone questions your role, send them here. Ill back you up because we’re in this feeding our family thing together. Ok, my sweet tomato. 🍅🍅🍅

Panzanella Salad
Makes: 6 servings
4 cups of slightly stale crusty bread
3 tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 cucumber, peeled and roughly chopped
1 yellow pepper, chopped
1/2 red onion, finely sliced
1/2 cup or so of shaved parmesan
Basil

For the dressing:
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 red wine vinegar
1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste

Method
Toss all of the salad ingredients in your salad bowl so that everything is evenly distributed.

This makes quite a bit of dressing, but you’ll need more than you’d use for a regular salad as the bread will drink it up.

Keep adding the dressing and tossing and tasting.

You want the bread to be moist and softened, but not drowned by the dressing. #tomatoes #salad #panzanella #panzanellasalad #healthyeating #saladrecipe #tomatoes #bread #easyrecipes #easyrecipe #sidedish #gardentotable #gardentoplate #seasonaleating #seasonalcooking #healthyeating #explore #explorepage

I’m a weekly contributor on @morningshowca and I

I’m a weekly contributor on @morningshowca and I have this hilarious segment called TIKTOkorNOT. Of all the recipes I’ve tested (I made an omelette in a potato chip bag once so some are crazy!) this is the one that made it to my kitchen roster the most. It’s a TWO ingredient bagel that is miraculously delicious every single time. And, yes, its only ingredients are self rising flour and Greek yogurt. It also feels like the perfect recipe for right now when we still want to eat homemade berry jams outside in the sunshine but the stress of the coming weeks is starting to simmer below the surface. It’s why you need simple solutions for feeding your family while still lavishing in summer’s abundance of produce. You just mix, roll and bake them up in 30 minutes. You can slather them with anything your heart desires just as long as you promise me to eat them outside. 🫶🏻

Note: this recipe calls for self rising flour. If you don’t have it you can make your own. Per 1 cup of all purpose flour add 11/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt.

2-Ingredient Bagels
Makes: 4 bagels
1 1/2 cups self rising flour
1 cup Greek yogurt
Everything But The Bagel Mix
Butter or oil for brushing

Preheat oven to 350F
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper
Mix flour and yogurt until yogurt is fully combined
Turn out dough on a clean, floured work surface
Using your hands, kneed dough for a few minutes until it can be rolled into a smooth ball.
Divide into four even pieces.
Roll out each piece into a thick rope.
Turn the rope into a circle and pinch to close edges.
Set on prepared baking sheet
Brush the tops of bagels with melted butter or oil and sprinkle with seeds
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes
Let cool

It’s a Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin top. Not the bottom, just the top. I know, you’re gonna ask why not the bottom? Because show me a kid who eats the bottom. My teenage daughter hasn’t graduated to eating the stuff between the paper and even I fight her for the bites off the top of our favorite shop muffin. You know the saying…if you cant beat them, join them. So I’m banding together with the kids in approval of the muffin top. All of them.

3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups mashed banana (3 to 4 ripe bananas)
1 1/4 cups chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter, oil and sugar together on medium-high speed in a large bowl until creamed, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the egg and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Add the sour cream and molasses and then beat on medium speed until combined.
Whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
Add the dry ingredients and beat on low speed until combined. Batter is thick. Do not overmix. Fold in the mashed banana and chocolate chips.
Using 1/4 cup measure, scoop batter and place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until edges are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes then enjoy. Store muffin tops in an air tight container for 3 days or 1 week in the refrigerator.

After 13 years of this thing, SPC has a deep archive of easy and delicious recipes. I pulled these Fresh Corn and Basil Muffins out of their quiet corner.

Are you going to let August disappear without baki

Are you going to let August disappear without baking something with pastry? It’s ok if you do. I was just wondering if you felt like something that tastes as good as summer feels.

Tomato Galette
Makes: 6 servings
For the pastry:
2 cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes and frozen
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
⅓ cup ice water, plus more as needed
2 tsps salt
For the galette:
3 to 4 heirloom tomatoes, varying sizes and colours
1 egg, beaten
1 Tbsp parmesan cheese
1/2 burrata
Extra virgin olive oil
Handful fresh basil leaves
flaky sea salt and black pepper
Balsamic glaze

Slice your tomatoes to about ¼ of an inch thick. On a sheet pan lined with paper towel, salt both sides of the tomatoes. Allow tomatoes to release excess moisture for at least 20 minutes.

In a food processor, combine flour, salt and cubed cold butter. Pulse until the butter is pea-sized in the dough. Transfer to a large bowl. Add apple cider vinegar and 1/3 cup ice water. Mix with a fork. If necessary, add additional tablespoons of ice water until the dough starts to just come together.

Dust a clean work surface with flour. Transfer the dough to surface and knead until no dry spots remain. Avoid overworking. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Once chilled, transfer dough to a clean work surface dusted with flour. Roll out into a large circle until the dough is about 1/8 of an inch thick. Carefully transfer to a sheet tray lined with parchment.
Transfer the dough back to the fridge until you’re ready to build your galette.

Preheat oven to 400.
Layer the tomatoes on the dough leaving a 2-inch border.
Fold the edges of the crust over the tomatoes. Brush the exposed crust with egg wash and then sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until pastry edges are golden brown and cooked through.

Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before garnishing.
Break up burrata over top, drizzle with oil, fresh basil and salt and black pepper as well as balsamic glaze. Slice and serve.

As a family favorite, this recipe tops the list. A

As a family favorite, this recipe tops the list. Aside from being a heavenly way to start your day, it uses seasonal berries (or substitute any fruit) and sets up overnight so you can just throw it in the oven with no effort in the morning. It’s great for weekends, entertaining, busy school mornings, whatever you can throw at it. It’s not afraid of anything you’ve got. And it’s always the best thing you ate that day because there is some kind of magic that happens in the oven when the blueberries, lemon zest and allspice get together. That’s a promise. (Sorry to everything else you made that day.)
🫐Blueberry Baked French Toast🫐
1 loaf of brioche, cut into 1-inch cubes
8 eggs
1 cup cream
1 cup milk
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 tsp butter, for greasing the dish

Method
Grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish.

Slice your brioche into 1-inch cubes and place half the cubes into the prepared baking dish.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, milk, sugar, lemon zest, cinnamon, allspice and salt.

Pour half the egg mixture over the bread in the baking dish and gently stir to coat. Sprinkle with half the blueberries. Add the rest of the bread cubes and pour the other half of the egg mixture over top. Stir to coat and top with the last of the blueberries.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 2 hours.

Remove the dish from the refrigerator and allow it to sit while you preheat your oven to 375. Bake on the middle rack for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the bread is lightly browned and the center has risen and is puffy.

Slice and serve with warm maple syrup. #blueberries #breakfast #bakedfrenchtoast #frenchtoast #easyrecipes #easyrecipe #easybreakfastideas #weekdaybreakfast #frenchtoastrecipe #makeahead #makeaheadmeals #schoolbreakfast #kidapproved #kidapprovedfood #explore #explorepage

I call these Lemon Blueberry Brownies. My teenager

I call these Lemon Blueberry Brownies. My teenager says it cant be a brownie without chocolate, but the texture of being fluffy and somewhat dense with moist goodness at the same time makes these brownies to me. Maybe they’re a bar? (Gosh, I hate it when she’s right!) Whatever you call them, they use the best friend combo of lemons and fresh blueberries so make them now before the season is over. Happy Friday friends.
