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 ...

Chicken and Dumpling Soup

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 ...

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 ...

Tangy Broccoli and Apple Salad

February 24, 2022 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Tangy Broccoli and Apple Salad I LisaGCooks.com

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 ...

Baked Brie with Caramelized Onions I LisaGCooks.com
