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 ...
Baked Spinach Dip with Fresh Spinach
Baked Spinach Dip with Fresh Spinach So apparently it’s football season 🤷♀️ I know nothing about it. Less than nothing. It’s actually well documented here on LisaGCooks.com 🏈 I do know good food though (also documented 😎). This is a perfect dish that can be prepared ahead of time before you host any (virtual 🥺) football ...
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
Baked Brie with Caramelized Onions This is a recipe I've been mulling over for years; I had Rosemary and garlic in mind but I wasn't inlove with it, ya know!?! The Caramelized onions though are incredible!!! This recipe is definitely going to make another appearance next year at our holiday dinner 🎄 Originally posted on December 28, ...
Waldorf Salad
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 ...

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! 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! This is a yummy, tangy teriyaki ...
Baked Vidalia Onion Dip
Baked Vidalia Onion Dip Since we’ve been in lockdown I’ve changed the way I get my groceries. I have found two local farms that deliver the most amazing products. I now order my meat from one farm and my veggies come from another farm. The veggie boxes are called “essential boxes” and come packed with an assorted of the most amazing produce, ...
Pan Seared Scallops
Pan Seared Scallops Without a doubt, one of the most intimidating dishes for anyone to make (just watch Hell’s Kitchen if you don’t believe me). I’m not sure why this dish is so scary but I too used to feel nervous about it; I’m thinking though it comes down to how expensive these suckers can be! Originally posted on June 5th, ...
