Asian-Style Marinated Tomatoes 

April 22, 2021 By Lisa

Asian-Style Marinated Tomatoes  This is a recipe that I created years ago!  So many years ago.  Like I don’t feel old until I do the math, years ago. This is a very simple salad that goes great with ANY protein and ANY side.  I especially love when the marinade mixes with the rest of the plate, extra yummy seasoning with the crunch of the green ...

Everyday Noodle Bake

April 19, 2021 By Lisa

Everyday Noodle Bake This is a recipe I almost didn’t write because I wasn’t sure it constituted a recipe but I have come back to it a few times lately and find myself talking about it quite a but so I figured; it’s a recipe! This is just a way to switch up everyday spaghetti and meat sauce (not there is anything wrong with that!), similar in ...

Baked Falafels

March 22, 2021 By Lisa

Baked Falafels This is another vegetarian recipe, inspired by my quest for a diet based less around meat.  Oh my gawwwd!  This falafel recipe is frickin delicious. The falafels are creamy on the inside and crunchy on the outside - even though they're baked!  That's right!!!!  I said BAKED!!! Top with a lightened up sauce to rival the ...

Chicken Parmesan

March 7, 2021 By Lisa

Chicken Parmesan I LisaGCooks.com

Chicken Parmesan Chicken parmesan is one of those foods that people assume is difficult and time consuming, or fattening; wrong!  I have made this a few time recently and had it on the table in under an hour; including preparing the tomato sauce.  Also I have kept the fat and calories to a minimum by not breading or deep frying the ...

Nacho Cheese Sauce

Nacho Cheese Sauce I LisaGCooks.com

Nacho Cheese Sauce Okay, I fully acknowledge Nacho Cheese Sauce isn’t the healthiest thing in the world BUT, a little goes a long way and when it’s homemade you control the salt (that counts?!?). Whatever, this is DELICIOUS :) This is a simple recipe for hot, spicy cheesy goodness perfect for any and all of your favourite Tex-Mex ...

Spicy Burger Sauce

January 8, 2021 By Lisa

Spicy Burger Sauce I LisaGCooks.com

Spicy Burger Sauce This is a spicy kick to my rendition of the incredible Big Mac sauce. There. I said it; I love Big Macs. Always have. Always will. They’re delicious. Only problem? They’re not too good for your waistline although in terms of fast food, I think McDonald’s is one of the healthier options out there. So here I’ve taken my favourite ...

Waldorf Salad

December 16, 2020 By Lisa

Waldorf Salad I LisaGCooks.com

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 ...

End of Summer Marinade

End of Summer Marinade I LisaGCooks.com

End of Summer Marinade No doubt your herb gardens are as abundant as mine this time of year and I simply couldn’t resist dipping into each one ☺ This recipe is inspired by all of the cottage barbecue’s I’ve been to over the years. There is nothing like a big barbecue out in the country air, next to the fire pit as the sun sets; if I concentrate, I ...

Lemon-Teriyaki Scallops

Lemon-Teriyaki Scallops

Lemon-Teriyaki Scallops This is a yummy, tangy teriyaki sauce that is fresher tasting than traditional teriyaki sauces, thanks to the fresh lemon juice!  Feel free to mix up the protein; salmon, chicken, shrimp, beef and even pork would work well with this sauce. Originally posted on May 01, 2016! Other Recipes you may like: Instant ...

Sweet Onion Marinated Chicken

July 14, 2020 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Sweet Onion Marinade

Sweet Onion Marinated Chicken This is a dish that I made at my parent's house last week.  I have to point out, because I think it's first time in history, there's NO GARLIC in this recipe.  It was odd.  I still feel not right about it.  I honestly think this is the first time I haven't used garlic in a marinade recipe.   So weird (but good!).  I ...

Kale and Basil Pesto

June 23, 2020 By Lisa

Kale Pesto Recipe I LisaGCooks.com

Kale and Basil Pesto This recipe was motivated by my veggie order, I was determined to find a great way to use up a whole bunch of kale, which no one seems to like 🤷‍♀️ Honestly though, I think from now on it’s going to be split between this recipe and my Kale Chips which I’m in love with.  Mike says he can’t understand why I’m eating burnt ...

Honey-Lime Marinated Grilled Chicken

June 20, 2020 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Honey Lime Marinated Chicken I LisaGCooks.com

Honey-Lime Marinated Grilled Chicken I'm completely torn.  I love this time of year, I look forward to the cool nights and all the amazing holidays about to be celebrated but I also feel sad.   I always feel like something beyond everyone's favourite time of year is over.  Am I alone here?  With that said I must point out that as a proud Canadian ...
