Steak Fajitas When I read the words smokiness and spicy, instantly my Chicken Fajitas recipe came to mind; I love the flavour the smoked paprika adds. That recipe inspired this one; so, so, so good! Serves 4 453 g/ 1 pound Sirloin steak (or any steak) sliced into thin strips (excess fat removed) Fajita Seasoning (see below) ½ Cup Sodium-reduced ...

Beef, Potato and Tomato Soup
Beef, Potato and Tomato Soup It is FRICKEN FREEZING outside. I haven’t left my house in 2 days and in an attempt to stretch it another day, I made a giant pot of this soup using my pantry and left overs! This is simple, healthy and is completely satisfying; Mike loved it! Serves 8 to 10 8 Cups sodium reduced beef stock (I used 2 store bought ...
Beef Stroganoff
Beef Stroganoff With the holidays fast approaching, yes, it is the second week of December already. Seriously, I was ahead of the game with my shopping and now I’m starting to feel the anxiety creep in that’s telling me I’m going to get it all done in time. I know you know what I’m talking about. So with the need for time I’m looking for a fast, ...
Beef Bourguignon
Beef Bourguignon We had snow on the weekend! The first of the year where it actually stuck! Our neighbours have put up their Christmas lights (Mike rolled his eyes) and it’s that time of year again. I don’t know about you but I LOVE this time of year. Of course by January I’ll be ready for spring. A great way to enjoy the cold November weather is ...
Slow Cooker Pot Roast
Slow Cooker Pot Roast This is without a doubt, the most amazing pot roast you’ll ever have in your life. Honestly. I say this with confidence because the meat comes out moist, tender and full of the flavours of the aromatic veggies it is cooked in. This comes together in minutes and then as it cooks it fills your house with the smells of comfort ...

Meatballs and Gravy with Noodles
Meatballs and Gravy with Noodles This recipe is inspired by one I saw by Rachael Ray. It looks daunting but really this comes together in under an hour and it could be considered a pantry dish. Every aspect of this dish has been lightened up so while you’ll be satisfied after eating this dish, you won’t feel gross. Serves 4 Meatballs: 3 ...
Portobello Beef Burgers with Fresh Rosemary
Portobello Beef Burgers with Fresh Rosemary It was another day of the same old, same old; I had purchased a package of extra lean ground beef and I wanted to make burgers but I needed something new. At first I wanted to make my Beef Wellington Burgers (yum!) but I wanted something a little bit different and this is what I came up with! Serves ...
Tex-Mex Burger
Tex-Mex Burger Even though it's February and we appear to be stuck in the arctic, I still want homemade burgers! I sometimes wonder if I have what it takes to do this; create healthy recipes to share with the world (we have all questioned our value and worth) and then I made this burger. Oh my! This burger is so good that I think it would be ...
The Best Lasagna you will ever eat in your Life
The Best Lasagna you will ever eat in your life If I had to choose my 'signature' dish, I wouldn't be able to, but this recipe would definitely be a consideration. First thing I should point out, I don't put a béchamel sauce like traditional lasagna recipes. I personally find it makes the lasagna too heavy. Trust me this is healthy and with a ...
Prime Rib
Prime Rib My mother and I have gotten into a cute routine on my days off; my son and I go to her house where we make dinner for my dad and Mike. We made this prime rib and it was incredible. Now, prime rib is expensive but this method would work great with my Perfect Roast Beef recipe (follow the cooking times there for a different cut of ...
Bolognese (Meat) Sauce
Bolognese (Meat) Sauce In my family we always call it “meat sauce” but really I guess it's a Bolognese sauce. This sauce comes out best if you let it simmer for 2 hours. My mother taught me how to make this but I have switched it up and made it my own; hopefully you will do the same in your kitchen too. I don't know about where you live but in ...
