It’s officially soup season and I couldn’t be happier! While I could do without the snow and ice we see so often in the Canadian winter months, there is little better than cozying up to a hot bowl of soup when it’s coming down outside. I can’t believe I’ve had this blog for 15 years […]

Tequila Lime Chicken
Tequila Lime Chicken is one of the best ways to cook chicken and ensure that it is juicy and perfect every single time. If you are short on time, you can marinate it for just 15 minutes but of course, the longer you keep the chicken in the marinade, the more flavourful it will be. […]
Italian Baked Meatballs
A quick search for ‘meatballs‘ on this site will tell you there is more than one way to make a meatball. The method I choose when it’s time to get ballin’ depends on many things, namely the amount of time I have and how much I want to fuss with the meatballs. I find baking […]
Melting Potatoes
These are called ‘Melting Potatoes’ because they are first seared to get a bit of a crust on them. Then, broth and butter go into the same pan before the whole thing goes straight into the oven. As they cook, the potatoes absorb all of the liquid, making them so tender and soft inside, almost […]
Chicken Lo Mein
Lo mein noodles are a staple around our house. While usually I serve them as a side to stir fry, last time I decided to make them the entire meal by just adding some chicken. The chicken does do better when marinated, but you don’t need hours and hours for it. Even just an hour […]
Slow-Roasted Salmon with Pineapple Salsa
One of the best things about salmon is that there are so many different ways to cook it. Out of all of them, slow-roasting has got to be my favourite. It is still fish and so in this case, slow-roasting only means a mere 30 minutes or so. Once it comes out of the oven, […]
Quick Marinara Meatballs
Meatballs are always a great answer when you need a quick supper, and I already have a couple of recipes up on the site. Those recipes are some variation of meatballs, or they are someone else’s entirely. I can’t believe that it’s taken me 15 years to get you the recipe for MY meatballs. It’s […]
Gnocchi with Chicken and Bacon
I used to be the type that would turn my nose up at recipes that included canned soup and other prepared mixes. It was probably a bit snobby of me but at the time, I thought scratch should mean just that – scratch. The pandemic taught me, though, that not all ingredients are available at […]
Smash Burgers
Smash burgers are nothing new. They have been around for a long time and recently, they have become particularly trendy. There’s a food truck just down the road from us that makes great smash burgers, but I don’t think I had ever made them until now. And I will say, I think they’re now my […]
Jerk Chicken with Jamaican Rice and Peas
At this time last year, Brent and I were fortunate enough to visit Jamaica. There were way too many good things packed into that vacation to mention here. I challenged myself by going snorkeling (I’m not the strongest swimmer,) I dipped my toes into the Caribbean Sea for the first time, and we made a […]
