Originally published on September 17, 2015 So here’s the thing. As a parent, I have visions of me and my grown girls in the kitchen, preparing a big family feast together and chop-chop-chopping while we giggle away. And I’d like to think that one day, they’ll bring me breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day. But before […]

Paige and Maddie’s Strawberry Tart
Originally published on September 26, 2015 The girls and I had so much fun making pizza one night that it wasn’t long before they were back in the kitchen, aprons on and ready to help. Actually this strawberry tart supposed to be made the same night as the pizza but we had too much fun and ran out […]
How to Cook Ribs in the Oven
Originally published on October 2, 2015 That familiar October chill is officially in the air and while I still take a few trips out to the barbecue every now and then, they’re certainly fewer and farther between. Plus, during this time when I don’t really want to turn the furnace on just yet, letting the oven do […]
How to Roast Beets
Originally published on October 3, 2015 Beets might not be the sexiest vegetable in the garden, but I love ‘em. They have a sweet flavour that becomes so intense when you roast them, and they’re so versatile. My mom knows how I feel about this veggie that turns everything it touches purple, which is why on her last […]
Soy Sauce Substitute
Originally published on October 9, 2015 A soy sauce substitute can be great if you want to know exactly what’s gone into your food, or if you’re looking for a gluten-free option. The night that I made this though, it wasn’t for any of those reasons. I just ran out of soy sauce. And it turns out, a soy […]
Grilled Pork Tenderloin in a Pepsi Barbecue Sauce
Originally published on October 17, 2015 It snowed today. Not a lot, just enough to remind us that the warm weather is truly over for good. Around here we might not need to batten down the hatches, but we do need to pull our barbecue up so that the snowblower can churn up a nice […]
Parmesan Risotto
Originally published on October 18, 2015 Risotto is just one of those things. It’s fussy, it’s finicky, and you probably won’t get it right the first time. But after just a couple attempts at this dish, you’ll become a risotto master and will be churning out this delicious, creamy rice dish. If you want to get risotto just right, remember that it’s all in the […]
Chicken Marsala
Originally published on November 3, 2015 I’ve always wanted to make Chicken Marsala at home, but never remember to buy Marsala wine, a key component in the dish that was named after it. On a recent trip to the liquor store, a bottle caught my eye and I started chatting with the clerk about it. Here are […]
Copycat KD Macaroni and Cheese Spirals
Originally published on November 9, 2015 The girls ate this up as quickly as they do the boxed version, and they regularly balk at homemade macaroni and cheese. When I started making it, I didn’t intend to create a Copycat KD Macaroni and Cheese Spirals, but as I ate it, I became more convinced that I had. […]
Crispy Chicken Thai Wraps
Originally published on December 3, 2015 Crispy chicken Thai wraps are a sandwich we have on the menu at work, and they’re one of our most popular items. When making it at home, it’s a great way to use up leftover chicken fingers and makes for a delicious and quick supper. I’ve kept it exactly the same, with […]
