Roasted Eggplant Dip
Roasted Eggplant Dip Here we are at the end of 2020. Arguably the worst time in our lives but I’d like to say a few things about my personal experience this year. My Year in Review I learned I don’t care about designer clothes anymore or my ridiculous hand bag collection. I’d rather spend this money on people who aren’t nearly as blessed as ...
Baked Brie with Caramelized Onions
Baked Brie with Caramelized Onions This is a recipe I've been mulling over for years; I had Rosemary and garlic in mind but I wasn't inlove with it, ya know!?! The Caramelized onions though are incredible!!! This recipe is definitely going to make another appearance next year at our holiday dinner 🎄 Originally posted on December 28, ...

Waldorf Salad
Waldorf Salad Here I present my recipe for a classic salad; crispy, crunchy green apples and celery compliment the creamy salad dressing. I am self-professed obsessed with salad (say that 5 times fast)🤣 "A Waldorf salad is a fruit and nut salad generally made of fresh celery, apples, walnuts, and grapes, dressed in mayonnaise, and ...

Warm Rice Salad with Spicy Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash
Warm Rice Salad with Spicy Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash This is the quintessential autumn salad. It’s seasoned to perfection, roasted to perfection and the very perfect vinaigrette is served with it. You could argue it’s the perfect salad. This is how I did it: I preheated my oven oven to 425. I then combined the Brussels ...
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 ...
Easy Cheesy Cheater Scalloped Potatoes
Easy Cheesy Cheater Scalloped Potatoes I’m not one to say too much before I share my recipe. I just don’t have that much to say usually. Except for today. Today I rant. What in the h-e-double-hockey-sticks is going on with this freaking snowy-crap-butt weather??? It feels like February. I’m cold 🥶 So bring on the casseroles. Only ...
Stuffed Poblano Peppers
Stuffed Poblano Peppers This is everything that is great and amazing about a beef burrito but it’s stuffed into a roasted Poblano pepper then topped with cheese and finally baked to perfection. In case you’ve never had a Poblano pepper, it tastes just like a jalapeño pepper without the heat but it’s much firmer than a sweet bell pepper. That’s ...
Rosemary and Lemon Brined Grilled Chicken Breasts
Rosemary and Lemon Brined Grilled Chicken Breasts Without a doubt, the most amazingly delicious chicken. This brine is a variation of My “I Challenge ALL Claims to the Ultimate Brine” Turkey Brine, brine. This dish is very easy but does require planning. Interestingly, I came across an article discussing brining, the day I made this for ...

Thanks dad, and sorry I ever doubted you 😘 This recipe was originally published on 06 December, 2016 My father's favourite soup; a classic, rustic Italian soup ...
