Kale and Basil Pesto This recipe was motivated by my veggie order, I was determined to find a great way to use up a whole bunch of kale, which no one seems to like 🤷‍♀️ Honestly though, I think from now on it’s going to be split between this recipe and my Kale Chips which…
Here’s a great one that I shared a few years ago… Enjoy 🙂 Meal Plan Week 120 Planning ahead is key to meal prep.  My kids will ask me on Sunday what we’re going to have for dinner the following Thursday and I always have an answer! MONDAY: Perfectly Brined Chicken Drumsticks Prepare the brine…
Catalina Pasta Salad Before “our new normal” we would have a family bbq for each of our children’s birthdays for which Mike’s family would fly in. At least once Mike’s mother would make this pasta salad for Mike because it’s his favourite. What I have omitted is cheese cubes and flaked ham…. Draw your own…
Here’s a great one I shared a few years ago… Enjoy 🙂 Meal Plan Week 130 Planning ahead is key to meal prep.  My kids will ask me on Sunday what we’re going to have for dinner the following Thursday and I always have an answer! Monday: Slow Cooked Ribs with a…
Strawberry and Feta Salad with Walnuts Without a doubt I love summer. I also love a summery salad. Honestly though, I love all salads; they’re healthy flavour bombs with crunch and tang. Salads round out and compliment any and every meal. Here you get the sweet of the fresh (Ontario) strawberries, the saltiness of the…
Cheesy Cauliflower and Potato Soup Here I present my simple recipe for a hearty Cheesy Cauliflower and Potato Soup, its a soul-soothing comfort meal that’s loaded with vegetables 🙂 I don’t like cauliflower. There I said it. It’s bland and usually mushy and it smells bad. I’ve tried to like this vegetable because it’s so…
Roasted Squash and Onion Soup (with Curry) I have the curry in brackets because you can skip it and the soup is still amazing!!! Anytime you can add squash into your diet you’ll be adding vitamins A and K, and fibre! Serves 4 2 ib Squash (I used butternut), peeled, seeded, and chopped into cubes…
Turkey and Corn Chowder I mentioned it previously; it’s soup season! Also, as a proud Canadian girl I celebrated Thanksgiving last week and naturally there were leftovers! With that said any cooked poultry will do. This was originally posted on 16 October, 2015 🙂 SaveSave SaveSave
Creamy Beef and Potato Soup Here I present a satisfying recipe for Creamy Beef and Potato Soup, beef and potato chunks in a thickened beef broth with other veggie goodies too 🙂 It’s still soup weather!!!  I had to share one more recipe until the season wraps until autumn. Last month, Ontario (my province!) celebrated…
Stracciatella Soup This is the quintessential Italian Soup recipe I grew up eating – solely on special occasions. Â Only at Christmas and Easter. I guess that’s why I decided to try it last week; Easter was around the corner. When I was little we’d have Christmas dinner at my aunt’s then my mother would host…
Turkey and Rice Soup So far I’m really not impressed with 2021. 1. We’re in lockdown. 2. The only way to take your kids skating is to reserve a time slot.  3. My community appears to be time slot whores. 4. We’re going to build our own skating rink but the temperature is too…
Cheesy Potato and Broccoli Soup Here I present my recipe for Cheesy Potato and Broccoli Soup; its a soup that is a meal!  This hearty, vegetarian soup tastes like a loaded potato.  This soup is creamy, cheesy, rich and full of vitamins. Originally posted on 08 November, 2017! A soup that is a…
Chicken and Dumpling Soup This is what we had for dinner tonight and Mike loved it 🙂 I can’t help it, it’s winter and it’s cold and crappy and I love soup. I love everything about soup, the smell and the warmth while it cooks, curling up with a blanket and watching the snow fall…
