Read MoreSpaghetti Carbonara
This recipe is taken from an Italian classic, and while I won’t pretend it’s purely authentic (I’m not Italian…but I wish) it’s pretty darn close, with a mushroom addition/option that can be included or used as a vegetarian alternative.

Read MoreSweet Potato Oven Fries
These wedge fries are best baked on their backs, so it’s o.k. to leave the skin on as it will crisp up in the oven. Feel free to do the same recipe with a Russet/Baking potato, but the sweets are more nutritious!
Read MoreCaesar Salad
Classic flavours with out a few classic ingredients. This vegan approved salad dressing is an award winning recipe (seriously!) and it’s my go-to Caesar dressing even when I’m craving the real deal. Oh, and real bacon bits are allowed here…unless you’d prefer to keep it completely vegan, of course.
