Originally published on January 9, 2018 So, I’m not very big on the idea of “New Year, new me” because I think the old me is pretty good. But, after the holidays every year, I do try to eat a little cleaner and a little lighter – for at least a few weeks. I heard […]

Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers

Originally published on March 24, 2018 Sometimes I know what flavors I want to eat, but I don’t know how I want to put them together. When that is the case, I often find that going simple is best. And those usually turn out to be the best kind of meals. This Flank Steak with Tomatoes […]
Maple Roasted Root Vegetables
Originally published on March 28, 2018 Well it’s Maple Syrup Season up in the Great White North, and now is the time I usually start putting maple syrup into anything I touch.

Copycat Swiss Chalet Quarter Chicken with Chalet Sauce
Originally published on May 18, 2018 I love Swiss Chalet. And I love copycat recipes. Why it’s taken me so long to bring the two together and recreate Swiss Chalet’s quarter chicken meal at home, I have no idea. Now, I don’t have a rotisserie. And I don’t even know anyone that does. If the same is […]
