#EssentialRecipe => Picnic Barbecue Tofu Skewers

I absolutely love skewers! When I was a kid, my family would only go to restaurants for very special occasions. My mom and I would always order two different skewers and share.

I think the presentation is what made them so festive to me and it was always fun to fork off all the pieces onto my plate.

All grown up now and I still find them so fun, beautiful and delicious!

#EssentialRecipe => Mac and Cheese au Gratin

There's nothing quite as comforting as a classic and simple Mac and Cheese.

As you know Jonny and I have adopted a plant based diet for the majority of the time, but we are keeping a bit of dairy around mostly to keep our tolerance up. I have noticed that just two weeks without any dairy is all it takes for my body to feel quite uncomfortable after ingestion. The last thing I want is to go back to Paris and to not be able to eat any of their delicious cheeses!!

This is a meal I have been making for years, actually since my college days in Montreal. It has evolved a lot over time and these days I like to prepare it with a lot of flexibility when it comes to ingredients and measurements. As long as you use fresh ingredients, feel free to play with the quantities of this dish. Use your favorite olive oil and it always ends up tasting delicious.
