Ottawa Bluesfest is wrapped up for another year. Amazing food vendors all around Ottawa and Canada showed up. Here are my faves.

While the big names always draw crowds, there is something special about watching artists who have built their careers from the ground up in Ottawa.

Even though I’m a chef, I learned so much about pregnancy and meal prep postpartum. I’m so glad I leaned into all of these tips to prepare for a successful and nourishing postpartum experience -without the hanger!

Who doesn’t like a good Instant Pot pasta recipe? This one uses the classic combination of rich and flavourful Italian sausages with peppers and rapini. A delicious combination if you ask me! This comes together so quickly that it’ll surely become a weeknight staple. This sausage pasta can easily be made gluten free with gluten free fussili if you can get your hands on in many grocery stores. I hope you enjoy this recipe that uses the best summer veggies have to offer!

One pot pasta in the Instant Pot! I hope you take advantage of this super simple, easy way to pressure cook spaghetti in tomato sauce.

Make this fresh crisp winter salad recipe like this easy and unique coleslaw. Complete with a luscious poppy seed, orange dressing. Super fresh and delicious tasting!
