Loaded Chicken Enchiladas Okay, show of hands: who’s eaten an enchilada? You in the back, I can’t tell whether your hand is raised. Just kidding, it’s Friday and my brain is fried. It’s fried-day!!! Get it? Friday, Fried-day 🤪 Okay I’ll stop. I ask this because I am about to turn 41 and this very…

Chunky Blue Cheese Sauce This is the perfect accompaniment to anything spicy or crunchy (enter wings and veggies and dip). Classically Blue Cheese dip is just that; a cheese dip. Here, I’ve cut down on the amount of cheese and boosted the flavour profile with acid from the lemon and fresh dill.  So now you…

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.

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…
Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable Soup Of all the soups I’ve made over the years (I’m really starting to push 40… hard), this soup is without a doubt the best one I’ve made.
