Originally published on July 30, 2014 Last time I went home to visit my mom, I made a delicious pork tenderloin one night. Before I made it, we couldn’t decide whether I should make both pieces that were in her freezer, or just one. Because I always opt on the side of “have enough to feed an army if […]

Chicken Pot Pie
Originally published on July 31, 2014 I sometimes find that chicken can be a somewhat boring ingredient. I mean, it doesn’t really have a whole ton of flavour on its own and I rarely order it in restaurants, simply because I eat so much of it at home. At the same time, it can be […]
Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad
Originally published on August 1, 2014 Chicken fingers don’t last for very long in my house. I have two children who are like finger monsters and eat them just about any chance they get. But I also have a husband with a very limited palate (I don’t know, is that a nicer way to say he’s […]
How to Make Homemade Croutons
Originally published on August 2, 2014 So you’ve purchased a beautiful loaf of Italian or French bread to sop up your spaghetti sauce one night, and now you’re left with half a loaf that you just don’t know what to do with.

Originally published on August 5, 2014 When I first heard of this thing known as bread salad, or “panzanella,” I didn’t know quite what to make of it. I guess that’s par for the course with me, as I might be the only person I know that doesn’t like croutons on my Caesar salad. But, getting […]
Zucchini Sticks

And while this vegetable can be somewhat pricey in the grocery stores, if you can find a farmers’ market or a vegetable stand, they typically sell for about a dollar […]
Roasted Potatoes that are Actually Boiled
Originally published on August 8, 2014 It seems my entire adult life I’ve been trying to find new ways to cook potatoes. The only side dishes that dear hubby really likes are rice and potatoes, leaving me constantly trying to find new ways to stave off boredom when it comes time to prepare (and eat) them. I’ve […]
Zucchini Bread
Originally published on August 9, 2014 When you get tired of eating banana bread for your breakfast or snack, or just happen to have several zucchinis in your fridge like I did, turning them into a delicious loaf is a good way to use them all up. If you’re worried about all the sugar in this recipe, don’t be. […]
Loaded Cauliflower
Originally published on August 12, 2014 As we saw a few months ago during Cauliflower Week here on the site, there are tons of creative ways you can use this vegetable. You can turn it into tots, or fried rice, or even pizza. You really can use it for just about anything – even turn it into baked […]
