Chunky Blue Cheese Sauce

January 6, 2025 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Chunky Blue Cheese Dip I LisaGCooks.com

Chunky Blue Cheese Sauce This is the perfect accompaniment to anything spicy or crunchy (enter wings and veggies and dip). Classically Blue Cheese dip is just that; a cheese dip. Here, I’ve cut down on the amount of cheese and boosted the flavour profile with acid from the lemon and fresh dill.   So now you are armed with a fantastic, healthy dip ...

Turkey Ala King

October 15, 2024 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Healthy Turkey Ala King I LisaGCooks.com

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.  Plus, this recipe calls for cooked, lean turkey breast (a shout-out to our thanksgiving dinner) AND it starts with a MASSIVE pan of vegetables!!!  ...

Classic Meatloaf with Mushrooms

Classic Meatloaf with Mushrooms I LisaGCooks.com

Classic Meatloaf with Mushrooms This is a variation of my classic meatloaf recipe and I think this is going to be my new go-to recipe from now on! The mushrooms add an incredible depth of flavor and moisture. I would also like to point out that this is a great way to stretch a meal; meat prices have gone up, up, up!

Sweet and Sour Crockpot Pepper Chicken

September 9, 2024 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Sweet and Sour Crockpot Pepper Chicken We've literally been buried under snow and ice and it came out of nowhere!  I'm not ready for it :(  The only thing that gets me through it is my crockpot, I love how it warms my kitchen and fills the house with the aromas of home-cooked meals.  I actually want my children to associate these aromas with a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cheesy Mexican Beef and Rice with Beans, Skillet Dinner

October 16, 2023 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Mexican beef and rice skillet I LisaGCooks.com

Cheesy Mexican Beef and Rice with Beans, Skillet Dinner This is one of those dishes that is soul-soothing-delicious.  I made this dish on a cold night and it warmed me and the house.  I love how the corn stays crunchy and by adding black beans you're significantly adding fibre and protein.  The green onions at the end give more crunch and ...

Cheesy Broccoli Soup

January 30, 2023 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Broccoli and Cheddar Soup I LisaGCooks.com

Cheesy Broccoli Soup My very good friend asked me to recreate a broccoli and cheese soup she absolutely adores from one of her favourite restaurants.  I've never actually eaten it so it made it quite difficult.  So rather than come up with a way to replicate that soup I decided I would make a soup that would be so amazingly delicious that she'd ...

Homemade Caesar Dressing

September 5, 2022 By Lisa Leave a Comment

homemade caesar dressing

Homemade Caesar Dressing One of my 'Guilty Pleasures' and I'm using quotations on purpose is Caesar salad.  The quotations is because it's a salad but delve deeper and you know what I'm saying is true.  Enter the mayonnaise based dressing; the foundation for the cheese and bacon.  I'd say I'm sorry or ashamed but I'm NOT! I love you Caesar salad ...

Scalloped Potatoes with Broccoli

October 11, 2021 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Scalloped Potatoes with Broccoli This is a dish that always used to intimidate me! Now I say with much confidence; this is awesome and super simple. I’ve also lightened it up by using milk and flour instead of butter and cream. This post was originally published on March 11, 2016! Lightened up Scalloped Potatoes with fresh broccoli ...

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 ...
