I love potato salad. To me it's not just a side for picnics, it's a meal. Through the school year, I routinely make potato salad to cover school and work lunches. So when Patak's asked me to try a recipe from their amazing online cookbook Smoke & Spice, I jumped at the opportunity to make their Samosa Inspired Potato Salad. To me, it's a Creamy Curry Potato Salad with Sweet Peas and the taste is absolutely mind-blowing. You'll love the sweet and mildly spicy taste of this salad and …
The Best Chicken Salad Recipe Ever
Who ever coined the expression "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen" was obviously standing over a stove in July when they said it. The heat here the last few days has been oppressive (as a good Canadian though, I swear that's not a complaint).

Butter Chicken Wraps
Summer is officially here and for me that means kids. Lot of kids.

I'm sure it's because Butter Chicken is so mildly spiced, yet deliciously saucy that they love it! I also love that these Butter …
Trying Something New – Oil Pulling #PataksMom
One of the cool things about being a Patak's ambassador is that they ask us to do some really fun stuff. They've asked us to try new restaurants, and to check out films and this month they asked us to try out something Indian we've never done before. I decided to try oil-pulling. What can I say? I'm a lemming going off the cliff with this month's latest craze. I also decided to give meditation a go. In case you haven't heard, oil-pulling is the practice of swishing oil around in your mouth …
Mushroom & Potato Curry
Houston, we have a problem. Or maybe that should be Delhi, we have a problem. Either way I have a serious addiction now to Indian Food, courtesy of Patak's bringing me on as an ambassador. On a recent trip to Florida we searched high and low for Indian and had an amazing meal from The Clay Oven in Kissimmee and even found some new dishes to try when we got home. Remember that restaurant I raved about? Coconut Lagoon in Ottawa. Well the owner is planning a culinary tour in India and I'm seriously …
