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!!!  ...

Chicken and Dumpling Soup I LisaGCooks.com

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 a little ...

Sausage Frittata I LisaGCooks.com

Sausage Frittata Here it is, New Years Eve. I often find myself nostalgic on this day, almost sad to see something go.

I have prepared a recipe inspired by New Years Day Brunch (I thought of breakfast but who was I kidding!?!). Serve this ...

Nacho Cheese Sauce I LisaGCooks.com

Whatever, this is DELICIOUS :) This is a simple recipe for hot, spicy cheesy goodness perfect for any and all of your favourite Tex-Mex ...
