Baked Spinach Dip with Fresh Spinach So apparently it’s football season 🤷♀️ I know nothing about it. Less than nothing. It’s actually well documented here on LisaGCooks.com 🏈 I do know good food though (also documented 😎). This is a perfect dish that can be prepared ahead of time before you host any (virtual 🥺) football ...
Spicy Burger Sauce
Spicy Burger Sauce This is a spicy kick to my rendition of the incredible Big Mac sauce. There. I said it; I love Big Macs. Always have. Always will. They’re delicious. Only problem? They’re not too good for your waistline although in terms of fast food, I think McDonald’s is one of the healthier options out there. So here I’ve taken my favourite ...

Roasted Eggplant Dip
Roasted Eggplant Dip Here we are at the end of 2020. Arguably the worst time in our lives but I’d like to say a few things about my personal experience this year. My Year in Review I learned I don’t care about designer clothes anymore or my ridiculous hand bag collection. I’d rather spend this money on people who aren’t nearly as blessed as ...
Turkey Ala King
Turkey ala King This recipe is another great example of how a 'cream' sauce doesn't have to be fattening. I've used 1/2 a tbsp of butter only and that really is enough to give off that great flavour. Plus, this recipe calls for cooked, lean turkey breast (a shout-out to our thanksgiving dinner) AND it starts with a MASSIVE pan of vegetables!!! ...
Baked Brie with Caramelized Onions
Baked Brie with Caramelized Onions This is a recipe I've been mulling over for years; I had Rosemary and garlic in mind but I wasn't inlove with it, ya know!?! The Caramelized onions though are incredible!!! This recipe is definitely going to make another appearance next year at our holiday dinner 🎄 Originally posted on December 28, ...

Waldorf Salad
Waldorf Salad Here I present my recipe for a classic salad; crispy, crunchy green apples and celery compliment the creamy salad dressing. I am self-professed obsessed with salad (say that 5 times fast)🤣 "A Waldorf salad is a fruit and nut salad generally made of fresh celery, apples, walnuts, and grapes, dressed in mayonnaise, and ...
Chocolate-Dipped Shortbread Cookies
Chocolate-Dipped Shortbread Cookies This is has been my go-to Christmas cookie recipe for years! I have no idea why I haven’t posted it sooner. I’ve made the cookies extra festive with the addition of the melted chocolate. Originally posted on 10 December, ...
Warm Rice Salad with Spicy Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash
Warm Rice Salad with Spicy Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash This is the quintessential autumn salad. It’s seasoned to perfection, roasted to perfection and the very perfect vinaigrette is served with it. You could argue it’s the perfect salad. This is how I did it: I preheated my oven oven to 425. I then combined the Brussels ...
Creamy Mushroom and Turkey Tetrazzini
Creamy Mushroom and Turkey Tetrazzini I made a tetrazzini recipe a few years ago and when I looked back at it I decided I wanted to make it in a completely different way. Here I've made the 'cream' sauce with milk and poached a very lean turkey breast to include in the casserole. My other recipe was amazing but man, this one ...
Easy Cheesy Cheater Scalloped Potatoes
Easy Cheesy Cheater Scalloped Potatoes I’m not one to say too much before I share my recipe. I just don’t have that much to say usually. Except for today. Today I rant. What in the h-e-double-hockey-sticks is going on with this freaking snowy-crap-butt weather??? It feels like February. I’m cold 🥶 So bring on the casseroles. Only ...
