Green Ginger Salmon Bowl

For those busy weeks when eating healthy can feel like a chore, this big green salad recipe is perfect for making a large batch and storing in the fridge. Both the salad and the dressing maintain their texture and flavour throughout the week. Switch up the protein additions, and top with tortilla chips when you need some carbs. I’m obsessed with this dressing and have made a few different variations of it.

Three Cheese Risotto with Basil Pesto

I’ve only just started my adventure into Risotto, which is essentially a rice that absorbs a lot of liquid to create a smooth and creamy dish that is indulgent, satisfying, with endless flavour opportunities. With a creamy and savoury dish, it’s best to have a crispy or crunchy topping to create some opposing textures and flavours. I went with a pan-fried kale, but toasted nuts and seeds or bacon would also be excellent choices.

Pueblo Black Garlic Meatballs with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

You can’t go wrong with big spicy meatballs…especially when you start to over do it on the turkey and potatoes. The Pueblo Black Garlic hot sauce, with flavours of Scotch Bonnet, create a complex spicy flavour which gives these balls some punch. I also became obsessed with couscous after having it soaked in this zesty roasted red pepper sauce. Couscous walks that perfect line between rice and pasta - similar to an orzo pasta.

Pueblo Chile de árbol & Tamarind Jackfruit Burrito Bowl

Searching for the perfect meat alternative that doesn’t sacrifice any texture? Look no further than Jackfruit, a spiny tropical fruit which can easily resemble the texture of a pulled beef or pork with just a small amount of work. I love the versatility of seasoning the jackfruit with Mexican flavours, as the meat alternative can then be used in bowls, tacos, burritos, nachos, or stuffed peppers!

Pueblo Coffee & Cacao Pecan Crusted Chicken

The first recipe for 12 Days of Pueblo is here - using one of my favourite flavours - Coffee & Cacao! A unique and pleasing combination that adds a little spice to any dish. In this case, I added it to every step of the recipe - the roasted pecans, the maple balsamic dressing, and the dipping sauce! The hints of coffee were also amplified by adding ground coffee to the pecan coating for the chicken breast.

Cheddar Zucchini Scones

My ever-loving obsession with scones continues with this savoury and cheesy variety. By roughly cutting in the cold butter into the dry ingredients and firmly pressing the dough together into a circular shape, a perfect flakey texture can be achieved. The dough can be a little bit harder to deal with when it’s a bit dry but the results are unbeatable. Pair with Tomato Basil Soup!

Sage Butternut Squash Soup

I have officially perfected my butternut squash soup! The robust selection of my favourite harvest vegetables adds vibrant flavours and colours to this dish. The addition of coconut milk smooths out the soup to the perfect creaminess. By topping with crispy kale and bacon, you get a contrast in textures to really take this dish over the top.

Peaches & Brie Turkey Burger with Spicy Peach Arugula Salad

A little taste of the SaskTel Instagram Live Online Cooking Class recipe I debuted this past summer. This cheesy, citrusy, and juicy recipe has quickly become one of my favourite summer classics. The peaches and feta mixed into burger keep it moist and bursting with flavour. Pair that patty with creamy brie and balsamic peaches your mouth won’t know what hit it. Pictues by @nomadicstories.

Decadence meets classic in this rich take on grilled pork chops. A sweet and spicy rub on these chops, along with a hint of charcoaled coffee creates complex and exciting flavour on a well worn favourite. Paired with another twist - fried rice with caramelized butternut squash in a brown sugar cayenne glaze. Finally the whole meal is topped with a gooey berry sauce packed with sweet heat to tie everything together. A great recipe if you want to impress your family, partner, friends, or first date.
