Topolino’s Terrace at Riviera Resort 🌴

This was our first time visiting this new Disney resort, and new restaurant. It is located at the very top of their resort hotel tower, and has amazing views of the surrounding parks and area.

The food is truly amazing and the service compliments that so well. Although a warning to my Canadian friends, don’t forget your passport… sadly I couldn’t enjoy the wine we had because I only had my drivers license as proof of ID (even though I’ve been legal drinking age for many years now 😂)

This restaurant is definitely on my would return to list!

3rd - Hamachi Crudo
4th - Bouillabaisse
5th - Classic Sole Meunière

Mushroom Parmesan Spaghetti 🍝

What’s better than a plate full of spaghetti??! Honestly? In my opinion, not many things.

I recently came across a video on tiktok of one of my favourite food tiktokers and she shared how she learned to make mushrooms differently in cooking school. So I thought I’d give her method a try when I made this pasta recipe on Sunday! I have to say, this method makes restaurant worthy mushrooms. By using vegetable oil instead of olive oil, you cook the mushrooms slower and don’t burn them, because olive oil has a really high smoking point it usually causes some burning to the mushrooms.

Hope you give this method a try too!!

RECIPE:
2 servings, spaghetti or linguine pasta (regular or gluten free)
1 tbsp, vegetable oil
2 tbsp, vegan butter
1 cup, cremini mushrooms, quartered
1 shallot, diced
2 cloves, garlic, minced
1 tsp, dried basil
2 handfuls, arugula
1/2 cup, parmesan, grated

Cook your pasta according to the package directions. Reserve 1 cup, pasta water
While the pasta cooks, make your mushrooms.
To a sauté pan, add your oil and 1 tbsp of butter. Once melted, add your mushrooms and let them cook for about 3-5 minutes. Then add your garlic, shallots and other tbsp of butter.
Toss mushrooms with your dried basil. Cook mushrooms while the pasta cooks, about 10 minutes.
Once pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and drain the rest. To your mushrooms, add the parmesan, 1/4 cup of the pasta water and pasta and toss together. If it seems dry, keep adding bits of pasta water. Add your arugula and toss to wilt it slightly.

Top with more parmesan! enjoy!

Roasted Tomato, Olive and Chicken Orzo Bowl 🥗

I had never really eaten much orzo before, but I’ve recently enjoyed how versatile it can be and have been using it for dinner and make ahead lunches recently.

This bowl is great because it doesn’t take much time at all, and is cooked all in one pan.

RECIPE:
1 chicken breast (or 2 if for 2 servings) 1/2 cup, cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup, kalamata olives
1 shallot, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp, olive oil
1 tsp, dried basil
2 tsp, fresh dill, chopped
3-4 basil leaves, chopped
2 tbsp, feta, crumbled
1/2 cup, orzo
Juice of one lemon

Preheat oven to 375. Butterfly your chicken breast. Season with salt, pepper and olive oil. Add to one side of your baking tray. Bake for 30-35 mins total.
In a small bowl, toss tomatoes, olives, shallots and garlic with more olive oil, salt and pepper and dried basil. When your chicken has 15 mins left in cooking, remove the tray from the oven and add your tomato mixture to the other side of the tray.

While the chicken and tomatoes cook, make your orzo according to the package.

Once everything is done, layer your orzo, with tomatoes and chicken. Top with feta, dill and fresh basil.

Enjoy!!

Sheet Pan Sausage and Gnocchi🍝

I know I’ve been so quiet these past few months, it’s not that I haven’t been cooking (or eating out), so I have lots of content to share!

When you’re in a pinch for time but need something filling, this is a must! I love to make this and have it cook while I get ready to go out for the night.

RECIPE:
1 tbsp, olive oil
1 cup, cherry tomatoes
1 shallot, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp, Italian seasoning
2 Italian sausages
2 cups, skillet gnocchi (I use )
1/4 cup, grated parmesan
2 tbsp, crumbled goat cheese
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350

To one side of a baking tray, toss shallots, garlic and tomatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper (I also used a bit of herbs and salt) and Italian seasoning. To the other side, add your sausages.

Bake at 350 for 20 mins. Turning your sausages half way through cooking time, and tossing your tomatoes.

At the 10 minutes left mark, add your gnocchi to the side of the pan with the tomatoes and toss together.

Once cooked, slice sausage into small pieces, toss with tomatoes, gnocchi, parmesan and goat cheese. Top with basil, salt and pepper. Enjoy!
