Roasted Leg of Lamb with Mint Sauce

Originally posted on April 3, 2017 I love lamb. Like, I really love lamb. I try to buy it whenever I can when the husband isn’t here for dinner (he does not share my love of the lamb), but I always end up making it the same way. Lemon, garlic, rosemary – same way, every time. I’m just so scared […]

Chicken Quesadillas

Originally published on April 10, 2017 I love quesadillas. They’re quick, they’re easy, and they’re so tasty! Which is why when I made them for Girls’ Night a little while ago, I was appalled to find that I didn’t have one quesadilla recipe on the site. Not one! Well, that was something that had to be corrected right away, so […]

Salty and Sweet Easter Treats

Originally published on April 16, 2017 For the past couple of years, I’ve made super simple, super easy Easter treats. I don’t know what it is – maybe because Easter falls on a Sunday and in this house ‘Sunday’ equals kinda lazy – but while I enjoy making treats just for the holiday, I don’t like […]

Grilled Pimento Cheese Sandwiches

Originally published on April 30, 2017 The month of April really came in like a lamb and went out like a lion at our house. It began with a wonderful family vacation to Quebec City, and ended with me in bed pneumonia-ridden and suffering from several antibiotic side effects. That sickness almost made me miss Grilled Cheese Month altogether, […]

Proper Beer-Battered Fish

Originally published on May 3, 2017 So, before making this recipe, it had been nearly 10 years since I made fish and chips at home. That’s right. 10 years. Why? Because the last time I made it, it turned out to be a big bland awful mess. The beer batter stuck to the fryer basket, fell off when I […]

Tequila Sunrise

Originally published on May 5, 2017 It’s Cinco de Mayo! Every year I get excited about this holiday and use it as an excuse to partake of all kinds of Mexican food and drink. Little bit of trivia for you, while Mexicans docelebrate the day, they don’t actually call it Cinco de Mayo – that’s something reserved for […]

Rigatoni in a Vodka Sauce

Originally published on May 8, 2017 There’s not a lot that can compete with my love of pasta. I love it in all shapes and forms, and I love trying out new sauces to go with them. The one I tried most recently was pasta in a vodka sauce and OMG, guys. It’s incredible. It only takes a few minutes […]

Estonian Red Salad

Originally published on May 14, 2017 Happy Mother’s Day to all the outstanding mothers out there working hard every single day for their families! This recipe didn’t come from my mother, but rather her mother, my grandma! I grew up on this salad and while I’m sure it has some very official Estonian name, in my house […]

Butterscotch Pie

Originally published on May 16, 2017 Can you believe I have not posted a dessert recipe on this site in 4 months? Okay, there were some Easter goodies last month, but no actual dessert. So, I thought it was time to remedy that and post something sweet and delicious! To be honest however, that wasn’t […]

Beet and Arugula Salad

Originally published on May 24, 2017 It was the long weekend this past weekend. It was Victoria Day and Brent had yesterday off too, so although it’s Wednesday I feel as though I’m just getting back into the swing of things for the week. But, point being, it was the long weekend this past weekend. […]
