Originally published on October 21, 2014 Tostadas are a great dish because they can be whatever you want them to be – breakfast, lunch, dinner, even midnight snack. I’ve mostly seen them made with corn tortillas, an ingredient that for some reason seems very hard to come by in my neck of the woods. Luckily I’ve done […]

Low-Carb Stuffed Peppers
Originally published on October 24, 2014 While I tried going low carb for an entire month, it’s definitely not a lifestyle that I can do long-term. Still, sometimes I start to feel a bit heavy and feel as though I need to take a step back from the starches in my life. Quinoa is a great way to do […]
Kate’s Scalloped Potatoes
Originally published on October 25, 2014 There are many different spins that can be put on scalloped potatoes, and mine includes caramelizing the onions first, and using chicken stock in place of the heavy cream or milk that’s most often used. While I did this only because I had just run out of the latter, it resulted in scalloped […]
Ree Drummond’s Perfect Pot Roast
There is a lot to love about pot roast, but my favourite thing about it is that you can pull everything together in the early afternoon, get it in the oven, and then just go about your day, completely forgetting about it, with the exception of course of the occasional whiff of that wonderful aroma that will fill your […]
Spring Mix Salad
Originally published on October 28, 2014 As many of you know, I have an issue with salad. I love them! I love the simplicity of sitting down to a big bowl of refreshing veggies and walking away completely satisfied. But I really don’t like lettuce all that much (especially the mostly-useless Iceberg lettuce.) But, I’ve found a solution. […]
The Real Deal Alfredo
Originally published on November 1, 2014 In the past I’ve posted a couple of “faux” recipes for Alfredo sauce using sour cream and cream cheese. But what if you want the real deal? Real creamy Alfredo sauce that’s delicious and stays true to the way it’s actually supposed to be made? When that’s the case, you need to follow […]
Is Your Asiago Cheese Authentic?
Originally published on November 2, 2014 I first fell in love with Asiago cheese at the very first restaurant I cooked in. It was quite posh posh and we served a cheese plate that included Asiago cheese. I don’t know if I had ever tasted it before then, but I remember loving the distinct taste it had without […]
Pan Roasted Potatoes
Originally published on November 3, 2014 I love potatoes. They used to be the bane of my existence because Brent will only eat them certain ways, and I quickly tired of making them over and over. But he took a few steps out of his box, and I started figuring out that just by changing a few things, I could switch […]
Cream of Tomato Soup
Originally published on November 5, 2014 They’re calling for snow on Friday and when the days get cold like this, there’s nothing better than a hot bowl of tomato soup. Homemade tomato soup tastes nothing like the stuff that comes out of a can, and it’s super easy to make. When I made this cream of tomato soup, I […]
The Restaurant 3-Egg Omelette
Originally published on November 8, 2014 Omelettes used to be something that eluded me. I just could never figure out how to make them. I’d try to do it, and end up with a bunch of toppings mixed in with some scrambled eggs. I even got to calling it “Scrambled Egg Mess,” because I knew […]
