    Lemon Pepper Bacon and a BLT

    When I suggested this to my husband his eyes lit up. I mean lemon pepper bacon, was the one ingredient on Noah Sim's (a Masterchef Season 10 contestant) legendary burger that Joe Bastianich couldn't get enough. So, obviously I would spend the next year thinking about that bacon before I finally gave Lemon Pepper Bacon and a BLT a try.

    Roasted Vegetable Pita Sandwiches

    Roasted Vegetable Pita Sandwiches are my favourite vegetarian sandwich. I'm not vegetarian. I tried once, but bacon brought me back, true story. This sandwich though, if I had to choose only one sandwich for the rest of my life, it would be this one. It's so good. It's bright and packed with flavours. The roasted veggies are marinated overnight to pack maximum flavour and do they ever! It's one heck of a bite. Soft pita bread is loaded full of creamy hummus, Mediterranean roasted vegetables and topped off with salty feta.

  • Homemade Greek Seasoning & Mediterranean Roasted Vegetables, together, will rock your side dish world! A spice blend loaded with greek flavours that can be used in multiple ways, but as a marinade on roasted vegetables is my favourite! I highly recommend this easy side dish recipe.

    Homemade Greek Seasoning & Mediterranean Roasted Vegetables

    I am a huge fan of greek food. I want it all, souvlaki, pita bread, lemon potatoes, dolmades, and feta cheese. Oh and spanakopita, I could live on that flaky cheese pie, alone. Don't even get me started on the desserts. Let's just say, it's one of the most flavour-packed types of cuisine out there. Years ago, I bought a greek dressing mix from Epicure and I used it on everything. Then I ran out, had to come up with my own Homemade Greek Seasoning and I'd put my seasoning up against Epicure's any day!

My girlfriends would be watching Sex and the City and I'd be watching Anthony Sedlak from the Main on the Canadian Food Network. It's here that I came across this recipe for Smashed Butternut Squash with Sage. I had been watching an episode of the Main and the chef was making some sort of chicken and a few other things, but what stood out was the butternut squash.
