This lemon herb italian sausage tortellini soup is what I make when I want something cozy and rich, but I also want it to taste like I actually tried. You get savory Italian sausage, sweet sautéed onions, a whole lot of garlic, and pillowy cheese tortellini-then right at the end, lemon zest and juice wake […]

This rich and comforting Tuscan potato soup is my weeknight answer to that specific craving you get for something creamy, sausage-y, and deeply cozy without spending your whole evening babysitting a pot. It's inspired by the classic restaurant-style bowl (hello, copycat vibes), but made the way I actually want it at home: well-browned sausage for […]

This maple glazed deer sausage recipe is what I make when I want something that feels a little fancy but still cooks like a skillet dinner. You get snappy, browned deer sausage links lacquered in a sticky maple-mustard glaze, plus a tangy apple chutney that tastes like fall decided to show off. The chutney is […]

If you want a cozy, sliceable meat pie that feels like it belongs on a snowy table with a mug of something warm nearby, this traditional French-Canadian tourtière is the one I keep coming back to. The filling is rich but not heavy, with warm baking spices (yes, really) that make the pork and beef […]

This chamin recipe is what I make when I want that street-style noodle vibe at home, but with a little more swagger: bouncy noodles, crisp-tender veggies, and spiced lamb that tastes like it has been simmering all day (it has not). Chickpeas sound like a curveball, but they soak up the sauce and make the […]

This pork short ribs recipe is my answer to the eternal question: how do you get ribs that are actually tender inside, but still crispy on the outside, without babysitting a grill all day? The move here is a two-stage oven bake. First, the ribs steam-roast under foil until the fat turns silky and the […]

If you want a veg lasagna recipe that feels a little fancy but is secretly just smart assembly, this is it. We roast a whole tray of vegetables until they are sweet and toasty, then layer them with a bright basil pesto, a lemony ricotta filling, and just enough marinara to keep everything saucy (not […]

This Jamaican curry goat stew with roasted vegetables is my cold-night, big-bowl, clear-the-sinuses kind of dinner. It hits that sweet spot between cozy stew and bold Jamaican spice: toasty curry, thyme, scallion, a little heat from Scotch bonnet, and goat that turns buttery once it has time to simmer. I roast a tray of vegetables […]

If you want that crackly, golden skin and juicy meat without turning on the oven, this crispy herb-roasted whole chicken in the air fryer is your new reliable flex. It hits the same comfort-food notes as a grocery-store bird, but the flavor is way more alive: lemony, garlicky, and a little peppery from dried herbs […]

This is my kind of pasta bolognese recipe: slow-simmered enough to taste like you tried really hard, but bold enough to keep you awake at the table. We take the cozy backbone of a classic bolognese sauce recipe (aromatics, meat, tomato, a splash of dairy) and wake it up with spicy fresh chorizo. The sauce […]
