Chicken Noodle Soup

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 […]

Quick Marinara Meatballs

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 […]
