Originally posted on October 6, 2017 I think roasted potato wedges were one of the dishes I first started cooking. It’s a good one to start with, because they are so incredibly easy. But can you believe that I used to just toss them with salt and pepper?! I mean, how boring is that? These days I […]

Garlic Dip/Dressing
Originally posted on October 12, 2017 So last week was all about the different spice mixes you can create in your own kitchen and store in your pantry instead of wasting all that money on them in the grocery store. And just like you can do it with spices, you can also do it with dips and dressings (and […]
French Dressing
Originally posted on October 16, 2017 We continue on with dressings this week and I have to say, this just might be my absolute favourite. I’ve always loved French dressing, but I never really knew how much until I made it myself at home. Now, this dressing won’t last as long in the fridge as that bottle of Kraft might, […]
Ranch Dressing
Originally posted on October 20, 2017 Today wraps up all the posts on salad dressings and spice mixes, and next week we’ll get back to actual dishes and entrees. But, I saved the very best for last – Ranch dressing, a go-to for many people, including mine. I mean, when a dressing not only works as a dressing but can be used […]
Halloween Hot Dog Mummies
Originally published on October 30, 2017 I have to admit something. I don’t like Halloween all that much. I didn’t even like it that much as a kid, but all the candy really did seem to help. Today, I still turn to food on this holiday and while I may not be pulling out a pillowcase and […]
Avocado Toast
Originally published on November 2, 2017 I was born in the late 70s, a time when the Internet as we know it was still a distant dream for a bunch of tech guys trying to connect the entire world. So no, I’m not a Millennial. But I am very thankful for their Avocado Toast. Yes, I […]
Chinese Chicken Balls (with Sweet and Sour Sauce!)
Originally November 7, 2017 There’s a reason you’ll never see a shellfish recipe on this site. I’m highly allergic, and I’m also very paranoid about my allergy (given that it could kill me and all). And while I usually get by okay with my allergy, it does keep me from going to certain places; namely, […]
Chocolate Cream Pie
Originally published on November 20, 2017 I feel as though we haven’t talked about dessert in a little while around here. Which is weird, because I love dessert. And I’ve also been making it a lot lately, which is also weird. A baker I am not, typically. But when Thanksgiving rolled around last month, we […]
Double Potato Soup
Originally published on December 1, 2017 One of my very good friends that I’ve known since public school helped me make this soup when I went home last for a visit. As we were making it she told me that she had made potato soup before, but had never considered adding a little bit of sweet potato to […]
Santa Veggie Tray
Originally posted on December 7, 2017 Having a big holiday party this year? Don’t you dare buy one of those prepackaged veggie trays that are overpriced and well, let’s face it, a little boring. Not when you can get super creative and make a Santa veggie tray instead! This is one that I did for a family […]
