If you like food, we'll get along *^_^*
There’s been quit a bit of movements on my Instagram story lately. Today’s #FoodieExperiment was the “Breakfast Poutine” but beside my idea being pretty good, a lot of refinement will be needed before making it a “blog post worthy” recipe.
These maple flavoured green beans is another recipe I’ve shared today and I decided to post it right away because it really is my favourite way to eat green beans. Seriously… is there anything maple syrup cants do?!!

ohhh you’re gonna like this one and since it’s Valentine’s Day, this dessert is coming right in time.
Don’t worry if you already have a lot of work to be done in the kitchen for tonight, this fudge recipe is gonna take you about 5 minutes to prepare and only 30 minutes to 1 hour maximum in the freezer so you don’t have to do much and can concentrate on your main dish.
Tired of the classic chocolate fudge? This no bake and no fuss cashew version should satisfy your palates. Not too keen on extremely sweet desserts? No worries, the lime juice and zest of lime is balancing the flavours perfectly.

Let’s jazz up those good old chicken fingers with this super crunchy almond and oats crust. Use the same crust on a full breast, slice it and it’s perfect for a salad! I usually prepare a pot in advance and use the crust mix when I need it. It’s like having my own pimped out shake and bake ready to use in my pantry. If you want to make a big batch in advance and keep it for a long time, place your mix in the fridge and use it when you need it.
I’ve also had interesting result with fish fingers using this same mixture.

…and it’s that time of the year again! 🙂 For many of you around the world, the long week end of the St-Jean Baptiste might be something you never heard of but here is Quebec, it’s a national holiday and it’s this week end! yoohoo! On June 24, everybody in the province of Quebec is going to take it easy and relax because they are going to be on vacation and hopefully remember why we celebrate this holiday. What will most probably be the reason of this relaxing mood, will be because the day before, they partied like CRAZY and they are super hung over LOL … That’s probably what I’m gonna be doing anyways 😛
To celebrate this long week end and our national holiday, I thought a classic Quebec recipe was in order… Now to be honest, I had problems choosing witch one I was going to share with you because there is a LOT of delicious and easy recipes that have been invented here (but again, I’m from Quebec so I’m sure everybody says the same thing from their roots).
…since it’s for a celebration, why not sharing a sweet candy recipe right?! Plus Max had never tasted potato candy before and I thought it was the perfect occasion to make him taste this easy and decadent desert or snack. If you have a sweet tooth, these are for you but watch out because the recipe I’m giving you is making 40+ candy!
The potato candy was first invented back at the beginning of the colonization in Quebec and like many other recipes of that era, they were made around 3 basic ingredients (potatoes, ground beef and carrots) because they were easy to found around that time. Good thing our gran-gran-gran-gran mothers had a lot of imagination because during the holiday, most people were too pore to buy candies for their kids so instead, they tried to make some with what they had around the kitchen and this is how the potato candy was born. Pretty sweet story right?
I remember my sister and I being so anxious while looking at my mom preparing these candy once in a while. It really was a special treat that we didn’t see often so it made them so special. Because of the insane amount of sugar content, it’s not something you want to be making every weeks but everybody needs a treat once in a while!
Hope you enjoy this classic Quebec recipe and don’t forget to visit the Quebec category on the side bar to check out other classic Quebec goodness 🙂 Bon appetit!

I always have nuts laying around in my house. Either roasted with spices or just raw, I love them all. It’s a great and healthy way for me to get a boost of energy and make sure I eat all your good fat and control my blood sugar to get me through the day at the computer or on the go at a photo shoot. I’ve been wanting to show you all the great recipes you can do with my homemade cajun spice blend but didn’t had much time as you can probably see by the number of updates on the site. So this morning I decided that enough was enough and I had to shoot at least one recipe! Good news, I ended shooting 3 new recipes including this one so make sure you don’t miss the next updates because they are going to be delicious 😛
Ok enough chatting and more recipe right? I hope you’ll enjoy this simple snack that can be eaten on the go or maybe while you’re watching the football game on Sunday? 😉

I’m on a pumpkin rampage, I bought some fresh pumpkins to make my own puree and some canned just because sometimes I can be lazy. My goal is to make as many recipes pumpkin flavored as possible. These cookies are amazing… I had to make 3 different batches before being able to take some photos because everybody just kept eating them before I had the time to take a single picture. If you like soft and chewy cookies that dip in milk perfectly, these are going to be your new favorite ones to celebrate pumpkin season.

My boyfriend bought me this book where some professional cook from Quebec are cooking great meals and deserts with the famous Kusmi teas. I am for myself a HUGE fan of all sort of tea (drinking tea is my almost my only way to drink water in a day) in general and I find the Kusmi tea incredible so I absolutely wanted to created my own Kusmi recipe 🙂 I hope you enjoy this quick and easy bread!

It’s the end of August already and once we start September, we can officially said that fall is coming up and then the cold and dark season of winter.. boohooo…. But no need to get all depressive YET because the season of fall bring us a TON of tasty goodies and between you and me, it’s my favorite season.
To celebrate the end of the summer and the beginning of fall, I decided to be make 3 mini loaf of delicious banana bread with 2 of my favorite spices; cinnamon and nutmeg. I don’t know about you but I like to eat my bread warm with a bit of butter… I know it’s not the healthiest way but it’s so worth it!! Hope you enjoy this recipe and happy baking!

A fusion between the classic and oh so delicious Raspberry/Lemon bars and the date crumble bars… It’s pure heaven.. and it’s healthy too!

I’m calling those the amazing dates cookies because they are literally amazing. I found the recipe in a “Quebec classic recipes” book and I tweaked it to make them perfect for my own taste. Max who doesn’t like dates BEG me to make them when I buy dates at the grocery. They are soft, sweet and healthier than some other cookies you buy or make 🙂 It’s a MUST try!
