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!!! ...

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 ...

Gooey Yummy Chocolate Brownies
Gooey Yummy Chocolate Brownies This was originally posted in April 2016 but it's a great after school treat any time of year :) Easter has come and gone and all Easter chocolate (except mini-eggs…boo) is like 75% off in the store.

End of Summer Marinade
End of Summer Marinade No doubt your herb gardens are as abundant as mine this time of year and I simply couldn’t resist dipping into each one ☺ This recipe is inspired by all of the cottage barbecue’s I’ve been to over the years. There is nothing like a big barbecue out in the country air, next to the fire pit as the sun sets; if I concentrate, I ...

Â Feel free to mix up the protein; salmon, chicken, shrimp, beef and even pork would work well with this sauce. Originally posted on May 01, 2016! This is a yummy, tangy teriyaki ...
Sweet Onion Marinated Chicken
Sweet Onion Marinated Chicken This is a dish that I made at my parent's house last week. Â I have to point out, because I think it's first time in history, there's NO GARLIC in this recipe. Â It was odd. Â I still feel not right about it. Â I honestly think this is the first time I haven't used garlic in a marinade recipe. Â So weird (but good!). Â I ...

This dish is fast, light and all things wonderful about the summer! Originally posted on June 24, 2016! A recipe for a light pasta with fresh herbs ...
Honey-Lime Marinated Grilled Chicken
Honey-Lime Marinated Grilled Chicken I'm completely torn. I love this time of year, I look forward to the cool nights and all the amazing holidays about to be celebrated but I also feel sad.  I always feel like something beyond everyone's favourite time of year is over. Am I alone here? With that said I must point out that as a proud Canadian ...
