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 ...

Potato and Egg Salad I LisaGCooks.com

Potato and Egg Salad Mike's mom makes a potato and egg salad that Mike absolutely loves (I'm still learning traditional Canadiana food).  My recipe is almost identical to hers except I lightened it up...

Spicy Fishcakes

April 18, 2016 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Spicy Fishcakes If I were to name off a list of pet peeves (which I’m pleased to report shortens as I get older), I would have to say that wasting food is near the top.   Here I’ve taken leftover mashed potatoes and revamped them using regular pantry ingredients. Once cooked, they can be individually frozen for a quick go to lunch in a ...

Homemade Tartar Sauce I LisaGCooks.com

Spinach Dip in a Bread Bowl It’s still party season and here is a great way to get a head start on your New Year’s resolution. I’ve cut out a large amount of fat and calories by using fat free sour cream in place of mayo (and you can’t even tell!).     SaveSave SaveSave SaveSave ...
