Cajun Seafood Salad
Cajun Seafood Salad My love affair with Tex-Mex has been reignited this summer. I love the contrasting textures and flavours; creamy avocado, crunchy and creamy fresh corn, crunchy, spicy jalapeños cooled down with fresh tomatoes and my favourite ranch dressing. I've taken a very healthy salad and added spicy protein to make it a complete ...
A Brand New Flank Steak Recipe
A Brand New Flank Steak Recipe Before my baby boy started school my parents and our family would spend one day a week at their house where we hung out all day and then had dinner together. Then my little boy started school (sniff, sniff) so we couldn't do this anymore (I work weekends and so does my mother). So when summer rolled around we ...
Lightened Up Amish Pasta Salad
Lightened Up Amish Pasta Salad Through my years of blogging I've found myself making many 'confessions'. Well, I have another one. I don't know why this pasta salad is called Amish... Neither does google... Trust me I checked. What I can say is this pasta salad is creamy and tangy with a slight crunch from the fresh veggies. I ...
Sweet and Spicy Sweet Potato Bites
Sweet and Spicy Sweet Potato Bites I'm pretty sure it's a perfectly standard thing in everyone's house and relationship. One person really likes a certain cuisine or ingredient while their spouse or partner as an equal dislike for said food. Mike hates fish. He actually despises it. He's cool with shellfish but you'll never see him touch ...

Mango Salsa I am obsessed! Ask anyone I talk to on the regular. I am obsessed with fish tacos (recipe coming soon)... I love a soft taco with Cajun fish, guacamole and of course THIS recipe. Mango Salsa. Mango Salsa is pivotal to a successful fish taco. You read that right; pivotal. You have crunch, sweet tang and of course ...
Classic Oil and Vinegar Coleslaw
Classic Oil and Vinegar Coleslaw I came across one of my mother's old cookbooks, one from a fundraiser for my sister's elementary school. This book goes back to the early 1980's which means it has classic recipes from the 1970's and even 1960's👍🏻 I even found a recipe for a "salad" where the first ingredient is jello 😂😂😂 Then I came across ...
Traditional Mashed Potato Salad
Traditional Mashed Potato Salad I'm really inspired by all things salad and BBQ lately since our summer is actually starting to feel like summer. It's not just that though. I love learning traditional North American foods that my friends grew up with all around me. I say this because my parents were born and raised in Europe so my food ...
Strawberry and Feta Salad with Walnuts
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 feta and ...
Southwestern Sweet Potato Bites
Southwestern Sweet Potato Bites I have a confession to make, I've never been a huge fan of sweet potatoes or yams. Any root vegetables really. To be honest, I find them smushy. I may have mentioned this before and may have forgotten; it appears baby brain is here to stay 🤔 Smushy and sweet.... Sweet potatoes that is. I find sweet potatoes ...
