I put together some easy and really delicious recipes around pretty much all the food scenes from season 1! I also reference the first book in Rachel Reid’s hockey romance series for a bit - So ofc we’ve got the blueberry smoothie, Shane’s mum’s pasta, the burgers the boys have at the cottage, the infamous tuna melt moment AND homemade ginger ale. Wow.
