Originally published on May 22, 2014 Chicken breasts aren’t the best part of the bird in my opinion – especially the boneless, skinless variety. They are pretty tasteless, can dry out super quick, and just aren’t all that exciting. But sometimes, only chicken breasts will do. And sometimes, you even need them to be boneless and skinless, such […]

Ooey Gooey Cheesy Nachos
Originally published on May 23, 2014 Nachos are one of my favourite appetizers. And when I heard that my two daughters had never even had nachos before, I decided to make an entire dinner out of it. When making nachos, you have a couple of options for the cheese. You can simply scatter shredded cheese over top of the chips and let it melt. […]
Perfect Lemonade
Originally published on May 25, 2014 Lemonade is really easy to make, but if you’re going about it just by combining sugar, water, and lemon juice, you’re going to be very unhappy with the results – an entire jar of juice and water combined together, with a bunch of sugar sitting at the bottom of […]
Chicken Salad Sandwiches
Originally published on May 26, 2014 This week I’m away visiting my family and my sister and I always manage to get in at least one picnic whenever I make the trip, so this chicken salad sandwich recipe – a picnic classic – kicks off picnic week here on the site! I inherited a huge love of sandwiches from […]
Egg Salad Sandwiches
Originally published on May 27, 2014 Yesterday we talked about chicken salad sandwiches, and today we look into another one of the best sandwiches you could bring to any picnic – egg salad sandwiches. I know a great many people put pickles into their egg salad, but I prefer to stick with plain cucumbers. I find they complement the salad better, rather […]
Classic Deviled Eggs
Originally published on May 28, 2014 Egg salad sandwiches aren’t the only egg dish that can be taken along on picnics – deviled eggs are another classic (and they’re great for potlucks too!) Just like many others, I grew up on deviled eggs, as it was another dish that my mom absolutely nailed. I remember any potlucks or picnics that […]
Asian Dogs
Originally published on May 29, 2014 The best part of a picnic is when someone drags out the old Hibachi or other portable grill and grills up, well, anything. But of all things that can be grilled, hot dogs are surely some of the best. These are typical dogs that you’d find at just about any picnic, with a […]
Oven S’mores
Originally published on May 30, 2014 Egg salad sandwiches, deviled eggs, and chicken salad sandwiches are all great for picnics, but what about when it comes time for dessert? When it comes to satisfy your sweet tooth at a picnic, there’s only one option – s’mores! But what if you’re picnicking in an area that doesn’t have a fire […]
Jennie’s Peanut Dip
Originally published on May 31, 2014 When my mother-in-law, Jennie, handed me a tub of beige dip, I have to admit, I thought it was hummus. Then she told me that it was actually something much more unique than that – it was a dip, made out of cashews. After tasting it, I knew I had […]
Lemon Lime Pork
Originally published on June 1, 2014 Lemon, lime, and pork tenderloin go so well together, I thought I’d mix ‘em all up, throw the pork on the grill, and see what happens. Turns out, it was something pretty good. Ingredients: 1 pork tenderloin Juice of two lemonsJuice of two limes 2 tablespoons honey 1 tablespoon olive oil1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons fresh dillSalt Pepper Lemon […]
