Originally published on May 15, 2014 There are about a million different ways you can do pork roast. It’s a relatively neutral canvas so whether you’re feeling Italian, French, or even Southwestern, you can pretty much season it however it suits your fancy at the time. It seems that every time I find a new way […]

Watermelon Tomato Salad
Originally published on May 16, 2014 I always have an abundance of watermelon during the summer (who doesn’t?) and my kids can never gobble it all up before it goes bad. This year though, I’m prepared, with a watermelon margarita recipe, and this delicious watermelon tomato salad. Both are so good, I’ll have to be careful to […]
Cat’s Pizza Sauce
Originally published on May 17, 2014 If you’re already going to the time and trouble of making your own pizza dough, why not take it a step further and make your own pizza sauce too? This one from Cat Cora is easy to make, comes together in a snap (although you’ll have to wait a bit […]
Roasted Asparagus
Originally published on May 18, 2014 If you’re going to be looking for asparagus this summer, do yourself a favour and don’t buy it from the grocery store. Instead, go to your local Farmer’s Market or find a friendly farmer nearby that’s toiling in the fields so that you can have beautiful plump stalks on your dinner […]
Pamuchim
Originally published on May 19, 2014 One night when I was making Chinese food at home, I wanted to add a little salad. But what kind of salad goes with Chinese food? I didn’t know any, especially those that were straight up vegetables like I wanted and didn’t include noodles of any kind. Luckily, I have a book […]
Nanaimo Bars
Originally published on May 20, 2014 One of my Twitter followers has asked me to post a Canadian recipe, and there are two that I always think of first – butter tarts, and Nanaimo bars. Since I’ve already posted the butter tarts, I thought I’d go with the latter – the scrumptious dessert that originated in Nanaimo, […]
Grilled Mexican Corn
Originally published on May 21, 2014 I’ve been waiting all spring to try out this recipe! When I heard that there was a Mexican street food that included corn on the cob, slathered in mayonnaise and then covered in cheese – I mean, come on. How could I contain my excitement? So the minute my store had […]
Chicken, Bacon and Ranch Sandwiches
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 […]
