Caprese Chicken with Pesto Ravioli
This balsamic marinated chicken breast is seared and then baked off, and is topped with fresh, melty mozzarella, balsamic glaze and enjoyed with tomato confit. If you want to go the extra mile and make homemade ravioli, it truly is a show stopping, restaurant-quality dish!
Pulled Pork on Rosemary Parmesan Buns
This was one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a very long time. The saucy barbecue pulled pork, fresh coleslaw, and with a fluffy toasted rosemary parmesan bun, is the perfect combination. Your house will smell amazing after, and there’s very little active cooking/prep time.
Creamy Garlic Pasta with Garlic Butter Steak Bites
This pasta is the perfect combination of Fettuccine Alfredo and my personal childhood favourite - buttered noodles. The medium rare, garlic butter steak bites take it over the top and make it a rich - yet protein-packed meal.
Garlic Soy Noodles
These noodles come together in 20 minutes and taste salt, savoury and pair perfectly with a soft, jammy egg. I like to add bok choi for a little brightness and green, but the noodles are amazing on their own!
Easy Chow Mein
This delicious stir-fried dish comes together in less than 30 minutes, and it’s a great way to use your outdoor griddle or blackstone. It includes 3 proteins; beef, chicken, and shrimp so you have plenty of variety! This dish is so addicting, you won’t even miss take-out!
Burrata Mortadella Pizza
Episode 6 of Pizza Party Friday is my love letter to Italy! This pie brings together creamy burrata, silky mortadella, and a vibrant pistachio pesto that’s pure magic. Inspired by the flavours I fell in love with on my trip in Italy, it's nostalgic, indulgent, and guaranteed to be the star of your Friday night.
Spicy Vodka Pizza
The addicting vodka sauce is even more delicious on a pizza if you can believe it! I make this sauce at least twice a month, whether I want to add it to chicken parmesan, pasta, or make a delicious pizza with it. It’s always a crowd-pleaser, and if you have any vegetarian friends, this pizza is the perfect substitute.
Hot Hawaiian Pizza
For Episode 4 of Pizza Party Friday, this thick-crust Hawaiian pizza is a bold twist on a classic—layered with ham, crispy bacon, grilled pineapple, and jalapeños for heat. It’s inspired by nostalgic Pizza Hut pan pies and made even better with a drizzle of hot honey.
Detroit-Style Pizza with Whipped Ricotta
For the third pizza in my series of Pizza Party Fridays, I decided to attempt the fluffy, rectangular pizza that originated in Detroit! It has a crispy, cheesy crust and it is elevated with a variety of meaty, and spicy toppings, especially with dollops of whipped ricotta!
Gnocchi Pomodoro
This delicious homemade gnocchi is so simple and comforting. Sometimes the best meals require a little effort, especially when that means you get to bite into a soft & pillowy gnocchi. The tomato sauce needs a little time to simmer but you’re left with a rich and balanced sauce to accompany any pasta!
Buffalo Chicken Pizza
For the second pizza in my Pizza Party Friday series, I decided to make a pizza that you could eat while watching the big game! But instead of shredding the chicken, I fried the chicken into little bites which was a huge game changer!
Lasagna Fritters
These pasta roll-ups are filled with a cheesy ricotta mixture, breaded, and fried, and dipped into a rich tomato sauce. They are perfect if you’re trying to get more comfortable with fresh pasta, and they’re perfect for feeding a crowd!
Dill and Chive Potato Pancakes
Sometimes pirogies are intimating to make because they’re a little time consuming. But if you’re craving the flavour of pirogies, with half of the effort, these potato pancakes are for you. They have the same flavour and toppings, such as, bacon, onions and sour cream! They’re a classic comfort food in my household.
Chicken Burrito Bowls
I’m obsessed with burritos and burrito bowls and this one was so satisfying to try! It’s perfect for bigger families, because you can customize them any way you like. The chicken is so juicy and pairs so well with the fresh ingredients!
Braised Beef Tomato Sauce
One of my favourite pasta sauces is a hearty bolognese with lots of parmesan on top, and this one requires barely any prep if you already have the braised beef on hand!
Braised Beef Cottage Pie
This cottage pie is so simple to make since the beef filling is already prepped and full of flavour!
Braised Beef Grilled Cheese
This is a fool-proof way for making grilled cheese and is made especially delicious with the addition of braised beef!
