Originally published on June 7, 2015 My kids love food on a stick, and I love making it for them. These sausage kabobs are true perfection. They’re easy, they’ve got a ton of flavour and, put a platter down in front of any group and you’ll soon have tons of “oohs” and “ahs” headed your way. Even […]

French Potato Salad
Originally published on June 11, 2015 Need a potato salad for a barbecue or potluck this summer? This might just be the one you’re looking for. With just a few ingredients this is one salad in which the potatoes really shine. It’s super tasty and you can make it the night before and have your side all […]
Corn and Black Bean Salad
Originally published on June 12, 2015 While preparing my menu for my daughter’s First Communion last month, I knew I wanted to put out a terrific bean salad of some sort, and that I wanted to keep it relatively simple – simple has been my thing lately. As I started rinsing beans, shucking corn, and whipping together […]
How to Make Perfect French Toast
Originally published on June 29, 2015 French toast is something that seems pretty easy, doesn’t it? I mean, you take some bread, let it go for a swim in milk and eggs, and then fry it up in a boatload of butter. But, if you want to get French toast that you’ll be thinking about for the rest […]
How to BBQ a Whole Chicken
Originally published on July 11, 2015 Throwing an entire chicken on the grill and barbecuing it can seem like a daunting task. But if you forget about the fire and gas and just focus on cooking the chicken, you’ll find it’s not much different than roasted chicken that comes out of the oven. Of course, with that […]
Stir Fry Chicken with Garlic Sauce
Originally published on July 20, 2015 I’ve always tackled my stir fry the same way. Stir fry the meat, add a large mixture of vegetables then your sauce, and serve over rice or noodles. I’m not sure what inspiration I was feeling last time I made chicken stir fry, but I suddenly wanted to try something different, beyond just the […]
Kale Caesar Salad
Originally published on July 22, 2015 I love Caesar salad in its traditional form using Romaine lettuce. But if you’re just looking to get a better nutritional punch from your Caesar, and aren’t necessarily worried about carbs or fat, just swap out Romaine for kale. Not only is it healthier, but kale also stands up to the dressing […]
Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin
Originally published on August 10, 2015 I’m about to make a very bold statement. My mom has sent me probably hundreds of recipes over the years, but – here goes – THIS IS THE VERY BEST ONE EVER! I’m not kidding. I’ve made bacon wrapped pork tenderloin before, but it was nothing, and I mean nothing, like this. […]
San Francisco Pork Chops
Originally published on August 20, 2015 I can’t tell you why these are called “San Francisco Pork Chops“. I heard about these chops that were ‘from San Francisco’ and covered in a sauce of soy sauce and brown butter. Even as I was making them, I wondered what was so “San Fran” about these chops. I […]
Corn and Blueberry Salad
Originally published on August 24, 2015 After visiting one of the local farmer’s trucks that hang around our town, blueberries and corn looked so beautiful sitting together in my fridge, I wondered if they’d taste just as nicely together. Turns out, I’m not the first one to be struck by the thought of combining blueberries and corn in a salad, but others […]
