Baked Honey Garlic Chicken Wings This is a fantastic recipe from a few years ago... I love taking really naughty pub food and making it practically guilt free, you still need a little restraint here, portion control and not eating the skin is key (sorry!). ...

Nacho Cheese Sauce
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 ...

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

Turkey and Corn Chowder
Turkey and Corn Chowder I mentioned it previously; it’s soup season! Also, as a proud Canadian girl I celebrated Thanksgiving last week and naturally there were leftovers! With that said any cooked poultry will do. This was originally posted on 16 October, 2015 :) SaveSave SaveSave ...
Loaded Beef Nachos
Loaded Beef Nachos This is one of the very few meals that my family will agree on. My children go bonkers for these nachos. In fact my daughter has been requesting them for a month! I have this listed as an appetizer but it’s more than enough as a meal for our family of 4. If you look close you’ll notice that the corn is only on one ...
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!
