Green Onion Parmesan Crepes with Ricotta, Spinach, Bacon & Mushroom Filling | bsinthekitchen.com #crepes #breakfast #bsinthekitchen

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and so is another BS’ in the Kitchen CTV Morning Live – Saskatoon appearance! This time, we have settled on the theme of “Breakfast in Bed” for our Mother’s Day special! After discussing it with Carlene, we decided crepes would be the way to go. They are easy to make, very versatile, and will impress that hard working mother in your life! Carlene is going to be cooking up some sweet red velvet crepes, and since not all mothers have a breakfast sweet tooth, I decided to make a savoury crepe recipe!

Three Italian deli meats, three Italian cheeses, boy was I looking forward to this! The spicy meat, balanced by tons of cheese oozing everywhere, the bite of red onion, tang of red wine vinaigrette, and notes of tomato throughout, all I’ve gotta say it Buon appetito! I felt like an Italian eating this one!

Deep Fried Spinach Ravioli with a Spicy Tomato Sauce

Deep Fried Spinach Ravioli | bsinthekitchen.com #ravioli #spinach #bsinthekitchen

A Kevin O’Leary inspired recipe, a strange thing you might think? Turns out he provided great inspiration for this tasty dish!

This is what we know about Kevin.

  • He can be a little full of himself from time to time…
  • He certainly “brings the heat” to hopeful entrepreneurs
  • He is all about the “green” (a.k.a $$$$)
  • His favourite restaurant in Toronto serves Italian food
  • He is a wine connoisseur

Well it’s obvious isn’t it?! We need to make an appetizer that’s full of itself, can handle the heat, is green, perhaps Italian, and maybe even has some wine in it! So it came to be, The Kevin O’Leary, a.k.a Deep Fried Ravioli Stuffed with Spinach & Ricotta, served with a Spicy Tomato Sauce!

Rigatoni with Spicy Ground Turkey Ragu

Rigatoni with Spicy Ground Turkey Ragu | bsinthekitchen.com #dinner #bonappetit #cookthecover #bsinthekitchen

A dedicated Bon Appetit subscriber (and recipe maker), it wasn’t until last month (when I saw foodie friend Dan’s Goodside’s pork chop) that I noticed they encourage you to “Cook the Cover” and then feature some of the recipes. Given how delicious their February cover looked, I had to give it a go! I adapted the recipe to fit to the ingredients I had on hand, swapping out the ground pork for ground turkey, as well as cutting most of the ingredients in half. I should also mention, that at 5:00PM, when I was just about finished cooking the ragu (or so I thought), I noticed it’s supposed to simmer for 4 hours…!!! Well I sure as heck wasn’t about to wait until 9:00PM to eat the delicious smelling ragu in front of me! So I simmered it until the pasta was done boiling and enjoyed my shortened version. Even though I didn’t cook it nearly as long as the recipes suggests, it had great flavour. If you’re in a rush, and don’t want to simmer it for 4 hours, don’t worry, it will still taste great!

Fried Beet Arugula Salad

I made this salad a while back for my mom’s birthday after she had picked up several different ingredients from the farmer’s market and wanted me to construct a dinner for her! Some of those ingredients were beets, parmesan cheese and fresh berries, so I decided to go with a fresh and flavourful beet salad!

Eggplant Parmesan Panini

As usual, the recipes I post on this blog are dictated by what is currently in the fridge (i’m too lazy to go searching the grocery store for specific ingredients!). so when I was greeted by a nice purple eggplant in the fridge and some sourdough bread on the counter, this is what ensued!
