Charles’ Chicken Parmesan is perfectly crisp with a zesty rich tomato sauce and topped with the best fresh mozzarella one can find. This can be enjoyed in a couple different ways, and is a great weekday dinner. He made me (and my parents) this in our first week of dating, and it is still our…
Chicken Cacciatore
A hearty weeknight meal is easy with this timeless Italian classic. This one-pan Chicken Cacciatore is filled with rich Mediterranean flavours. Serve it over rice or pasta for an even heartier dish.
Caprese Spaghetti Squash
I have OFFICIALLY found my favourite way to eat spaghetti squash … THIS Caprese Spaghetti Squash! I had this idea in the back of my mind for ages, and finally got around to making it. I knew that squash wasn’t going to cook itself, so today was the day.
Italian Shakshuka
Italian Shakshuka is one of our favourite brunch dishes that can easily stand in for a quick healthy meatless lunch or dinner and is made in under 30 minutes. Fun to share and filled with flavour, it’s one to add to your weekend recipe rotation!
Apple Thyme Focaccia
These Apple Thyme Focaccia take a bit of time to make but it are WELL worth the effort! If you’re having company (or not lol), these make a pretty sweet weekend project if you feel like channeling your inner Martha Stewart!

Heaps of vegetables and beans come together to create this delicious and über-healthy soup to serve for lunch or dinner alongside some crusty bread to channel your…
Rustic Italian Lasagne
There are a million ways to make lasagne, and everybody thinks theirs is the best (of course). Well, I guess I’m as guilty as the next guy! I ADORE Italian flavours. Basil, tomatoes, cheese… I mean, what is there not to love? Pour me a glass of wine, put on some Dean Martin and I’m in heaven!…
Basil Pesto
This classic basil pesto recipe is a staple in our house! We grow so much basil that making pesto is a must, and it freezes well without the parmesan. Simply follow the recipe but leave out the parmesan, put into small plastic containers and drizzle a bit of olive oil on top before placing the…
Garden Italian Meat Sauce
My aunty Becky once told me that there are some things you don’t mess with (ok, she put it a bit more colourfully), and for me, a meat sauce is one of them. I like it to taste like I just stepped into Italy and load it up with heaps of fresh basil from the…
