Recipes from a Novice Home Cook
Pierogi are one of the best comfort foods. They're warm, cheesy, pillowy, carb-filled, and versatile. This weekend, I did a Food Collaboration with The Slow Braise! As the weather cools off and we move into the cooler end of the Fall spectrum, we felt it was important to focus on some warm comfort food - and [...]
Tahini and Turmeric dressing is the perfect warm dressing to match up with root vegetables and seared salmon.

Chicken Marsala is one of my favourite "go-to" weeknight recipes. A family friend introduced it to us last year, and ever since, my husband and I have been hooked!
