Turkey and Rice Soup
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 warm, the water won’t freeze. 5. We suffered a ...
Quick Night Tandoori
Quick Night Tandoori Here I present my Quick Night Tandoori; a fast version of the classic Tandoori Chicken, on the table in under an hour :) I have been obsessed with my Tandoori Chicken recipe since I made it but it is a ‘plan a-head’ recipe and sometimes time is not on my side. Here I have taken all of the yummy marinade and turned it into a ...
Loaded Beef Burrito Bowls
Loaded Beef Burrito Bowls There are only a handful of meals my entire family can agree on. It seems to be a safe choice to choose Tex-Mex in our house.

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!!! ...
Classic Meatloaf with Mushrooms
Classic Meatloaf with Mushrooms This is a variation of my classic meatloaf recipe and I think this is going to be my new go-to recipe from now on! The mushrooms add an incredible depth of flavor and moisture. I would also like to point out that this is a great way to stretch a meal; meat prices have gone up, up, up!

Greek Rice
Greek Rice Here I present my recipe for the glorious, Greek Rice. You can't hear me but I'm saying Greek the same way Michael Simon does :) I love Greek food but I feel like I should be using quotes… like “Greek”… not Greek. I love the “Greek” food you get at the food court. You get Greek salad with rice, potatoes, souvlaki and ...
Sweet and Sour Crockpot Pepper Chicken
Sweet and Sour Crockpot Pepper Chicken We've literally been buried under snow and ice and it came out of nowhere! I'm not ready for it :( The only thing that gets me through it is my crockpot, I love how it warms my kitchen and fills the house with the aromas of home-cooked meals. I actually want my children to associate these aromas with a ...

I love this time of year but I also hate it. Summer's over and the cold, cold weather is coming. I feel nostalgic, yet hopeful. Originally ...
