Love at first sight 😍🍕

with the final touches... A blanket basil leaf the size of my head to garnish our lasagna (the pizza was better) but we don't go without a lasanga.

Dining, ordering, and then realizing you made a mistake by not getting the Pizza. 🍕😶

always captures the moments 🥰 xo

Someone has Swifty tickets in Vienna! ♡ (not me) But when ya girl is 0.001% listener on Spotify because she is a mega fan, I told her should be giving her tickets. But even still, is a loyal fan, AND she understands why she's not coming to Canada. It's not a big enough venue... but Lesley's not bitter... that's true swifty love. I'm just here on the side celebrating her dedication and hopefully seeing her post show in Vienna 2024. Love you! AND YES my name is Dorothea and I've never had a song, bracelet, necklace, fridge magnet, or, gas station cup with my name on it so ill appreciate her song that has my name in it!

Elote Salad is the side you must have for your next upcoming BBQ! 🌽🥗

Sooo simple to make and can outshine even the mains!



For the Elote Salad
4 corn on the cob shucked
1 bunch of green onion – finely chopped
½ red onion – finely diced
½ bunch of cilantro (or to your preference) – finely chopped
2 limes – juiced and zested
2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise
½ cup crumbled Cotija/feta/goat feta cheese
Tajin to taste – (this can replace your salt)
1 teaspoon – paprika

Grill 4 corn on the cob until it has some color. Cut corn straight off the cob into a bowl. Add green onion, diced red onion, cilantro, 2 fresh limes - juiced and lime zested, 2 - 3 tablespoons of mayo, Tajin and a sprinkle of paprika. If you can find cotija cheese, then that's the preferred choice. If not, feta or goat feta in the elote salad works great too! Season with salt, mix well and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦

I'm so lucky to have been born in this country for MANY reasons, but to summarize:

I appreciate more than ever before its beauty, both in its it's cultural diversity and its picturesque mountains, lakes, rivers, forests, and oceans. We are lucky. My hope in the years to come is that our great country strives to be better for all its people through equality while lending a hand in helping others who are not as lucky to live in our country. That we focus on nurturing and protecting nature by being kinder to its resources while being a global advocate for other countries to do the same.

We are not perfect, but hopefully, we can learn from the past and focus on being better for the generations to come. 🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️

(And then we eat a delicious pavlova!)

Ladies of

How to make the best smashburger EVER is on my IGTV, but I'll be sharing a reel with all my pointers in the coming days just in time for Canada Day and Independence Day for my U.S. friends 😉 I promise it's the best burger you'll eat and my followers think so too since it's one of my most popular recipes (and by recipe, it's really just the Do's and Don't of Smashburger making that can take it from a "meh" to a su

I'm so pumped that my Easter project has come to fruision (well... almost). I'm damn near ready to launch my clothing line for foodies/chefs or any others who enjoy a good pun (or enjoy being covered in noods without being "nood" Hahah).

Most of my samples have come in so I can test sizing/quality and post wash. I'm trying to be sustainable using recycled materials but must admit, it's been challenging (especially diving head first into an unknown territory).

This is my first sample - I was pumped on the quality. Hoping ill be able to fine-tune as time goes by, but I imagine it's like the first time I picked up a camera and shot a food photo. Looking back now, I see the progression and damn near cringe at the old photos 🤣.

Pretty soon, this line will be up for grabs online! 🤌🫶 so watch out for my official launch 🙃 and other sneak peeks of some of the products. I have a few friends who pre-ordered 😉 best supporters ever!

As I said in my last post, you want to be pushed outside of your level of comfort to the point of extreme vulnerability in order to learn, grow, and move forward. If you stay stagnant, you'll never get to where you want to go because good things don't come TO YOU... only YOU can make them happen.

PS - always happy for feedback and learning if you're in this industry xo

If you're like me and can't miss out on those feel-good-foods, despite wanting to eat cleaner, then you'll be happy to know that a couple of simple swaps in ingredients can make your comfort foods healthier without skipping out on taste.

One of my favorite comfort foods is meatballs in tomato sauce, which I make with ground turkey vs. beef as a healthy alternative.

I include a delicious whipped ricotta, but they can be devoured without. Bonus - these guys freeze well for those nights you don't feel like cooking. Check out this surprisingly simple and delicious recipe! .

As a personal chef and recipe developer I am used to creating a variety of challenging dishes but nothing is more challenging than working with food allergies. Having my own severe food allergy to shellfish, I am especially careful to ask my friends, family, and clients about severe allergies while ensuring I always have my EpiPen close by.

For Food Allergy Awareness month, you can help by educating yourself on different severe food allergens by visiting www.EpiPen.ca.
