Honey Lime Peanut Vinaigrette I LisaGCooks.com

    Honey Lime Peanut Vinaigrette A really good friend of mine is obsessed with Milestone’s Chicken Salad – obsessed. She asked me to replicate their dressing and while my dressing here is nothing at all like their’s (I don’t remember what it tastes like), this dressing is definitely inspired by Milestone’s Chicken Salad ...

spicy chipotle marinade chicken I LisaGCooks.cm

Sweet and Spicy Grilled Chicken This marinade has it all, it’s sweet, smoky, tangy, spicy and hot! I really have no heat tolerance but this chicken was so moist and flavourful that I didn’t mind that my lips were on fire and that my tongue had gone numb!   This is what you'll need 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tbsp honey ...

Scallops Piccata I LisaGCooks.com

Scallops Piccata In case you’re unfamiliar with Piccata Sauce, let me break it down for you. After you panfry a yummy, lean protein in butter you deglaze the pan with stock (I go with chicken stock) and fresh lemon juice and THEN you throw in delicious, salty, briny capers. This creates an intense pan sauce in literally under a minute. You pour ...

Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable Soup

January 15, 2024 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable Soup Of all the soups I've made over the years (I'm really starting to push 40... hard), this soup is without a doubt the best one I've made.  The beef is melt-in-your-mouth tender and the vegetables are seasoned to perfection.  This soup is definitely a perk or highlight to the cold crappy weather of ...

Sausage Frittata I LisaGCooks.com

With that said I must say I have a great feeling about 2016, I think it’s going to be a wonderful year. I have prepared a recipe inspired by New Years Day Brunch (I thought of breakfast but who was I kidding!?!). Serve this ...

Sausage and Mushroom Crostini

December 9, 2021 By Lisa

Sausage and Mushroom Crostini I LisaGCooks.com

Sausage and Mushroom Crostini The recipe I chose for ReDux was from Rachel Ray 2 where she prepared Sausage Calzones. I was inspired by the Season and thought this would be a great party food (no one has to know you’ve cut out fat and calories). I’ve lightened this up by using low fat turkey sausage, low fat goat cheese and I’ve increased fibre by ...

Spicy Mediterranean Roasted Chicken Breasts

March 18, 2021 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Spicy Mediterranean Roasted Chicken Breasts   This is one of those recipes that I go back to time and time again and yet, I've never posted it!  I love roasting bone-in chicken breasts because you get a lot more flavour and of course it doesn't dry out.    I like this marinade because you get the intense flavour from the garlic and oregano ...
