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…

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.

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…
