Tangy Broccoli and Apple Salad With BBQ season fast approaching we all need lightened up salads in our repertoires. I was inspired once again during my Saturday morning routine where my daughter woke up the rooster who woke up this mom and I laid in bed with Paw Patrol, a toddler snuggled up with me and Facebook (admittedly I only had one eye ...

Chicken and Dumpling Soup
Chicken and Dumpling Soup This is what we had for dinner tonight and Mike loved it :) I can’t help it, it’s winter and it’s cold and crappy and I love soup. I love everything about soup, the smell and the warmth while it cooks, curling up with a blanket and watching the snow fall while I carefully slurp the hot broth. Okay, I’m being ...
Turkey Ala King
Turkey ala King This recipe is another great example of how a 'cream' sauce doesn't have to be fattening. I've used 1/2 a tbsp of butter only and that really is enough to give off that great flavour.

Enter macaroni salad, at first I was thinking to lighten up one place, think chicken. However, when I tasted it I was instantly overcome with how much it tasted like everyone's ...
Slow-Cooker Creamy Chicken and Vegetable Dumpling Soup
Slow-Cooker Creamy Chicken and Vegetable Dumpling Soup There is nothing more soul-soothing than a pot of soup cooking away. Except well a soup cooking in a slow cooker is pretty fabulous too. Enter dumplings. A slow cooker soup with dumplings; now that's awesome! This is what we had on Halloween. Picture trick or treating in the cold and ...
Slow Cooker Beef Stew
Slow Cooker Beef Stew There are very few things in life that are better on a cold stormy day, in the dead of winter, in Southern Ontario than using your crockpot. The inspiration for this dish was classic country flavours with the most delicate beef pieces you can imagine. Serves 4 to 6 453 g stewing beef 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1 tbsp ...
