Summer Barbequed Herb Chicken This chicken is a cross between my “Fancy Pants Pan Chicken” and my “Ultimate Grilled Chicken”. I must point out that while this recipe calls for you keeping the chicken skin on the chicken breast while barbequing (I think I have discussed how not even the family dog should eat chicken skin), you must remove it ...

My Guide for Awesome Grilled Chicken
My Guide for Awesome Grilled Chicken When any of my recipes call for grilled chicken this is the recipe to go to! Grilling takes patience and practice but once you get the hang of it you are unbeatable! Ha-ha but seriously try to follow these tips and you’ll be fine; especially now that it's summer time. Summer time equals BBQ! - Brush or ...
Fancy-Pants Pan Chicken
Fancy-Pants Pan Chicken I made this chicken using the cast iron skillet my mother gave me for Christmas a few years ago (holy moly that thing is heavy). If you don’t have a cast iron skillet you can use any oven safe frying pan or wrap the handle on your frying pan with some aluminum foil. A quick tip if you don’t have a tight fitting lid for ...
Pizza au Champignon et Poulet
Pizza au Champignon et Poulet Haha, I’m trying to communicate that this is a French inspired recipe, did it work? I’m totally picturing the face of my grade 11 French teacher; what a b****. She’s totally the reason I dropped that class. She’s also the reason I’m not entirely sure this title is 100% grammatically correct (it’s supposed to say ...
Scandinavian Turkey Burger
Scandinavian Turkey Burger These are the flavours I associate with Scandinavia; I’m half Swedish but not necessarily an expert on what constitutes Scandinavian! I wrote this recipe with turkey in mind but feel free to switch it up with whatever meat you like. I have used ground beef and turkey here and both worked fantastic; just keep in mind ...
Lisa’s Luxury Pizza
Lisa’s Luxury Pizza In my defence I have not named ANY of the recipes after myself and the only reason I am calling it this is that after I told my mother about what I had for dinner the night I ate this pizza she said, “What luxurious toppings”. Serves 4 1 Batch of the whole wheat pizza dough 1 Batch of the pesto sauce 4 Plum tomatoes, ...
Curkey Burger
Curkey Burger Okay so it’s a lame title but curry turkey burger? Turkey burger with curry? This recipe was made with turkey in mind but feel free to use whatever ground meat you like. Serves 4 1 Package of extra lean ground turkey (usually between 400 and 500g) ½ Cup plain fat free yogurt 3 tbsp curry powder 3 Green ...
Italian Chicken Stew with Grilled Polenta
Italian Chicken Stew with Grilled Polenta So I had some issues with naming this recipe; it is kind of like coq au vin and almost like a chicken cacciatore, somewhere in there! This recipe can be slow cooked in the oven but when I made it I just did it on the stovetop. Polenta is a staple in Italy and while it can be quite rich, the prepackaged ...
Moroccan Fettuccine
Moroccan Fettuccine This is a healthier version of my favourite pasta dish that was served in a restaurant I used to work in. Bill, the owner and chef was a great employer and an even better chef. Haha, he refers to me as the crazy blonde girl! His wife Tracy is the restaurant manager; they make a great team! Serves 4 to 6 1 tbsp extra ...
Chicken Tenders
Chicken Tenders This is my version of low fat chicken tenders and what’s fun about this recipe is its versatility; change up the spices and you change the entire experience. What is also fun is changing up the condiments you dip or as I prefer ‘dunk’ the chicken in. Instead of plum sauce why not an Asian inspired barbeque sauce or for a Greek ...
Spicy Turkey Burger
Spicy Turkey Burger Consider the source! I consider this spicy but others may laugh at me for this! If you like food spicier than I do then add more hot sauce and less sour cream proportionately or the burgers will be too soft and will fall apart. These ingredients will stand up well to any ground meat. Serves 4 1 Package of extra ...
