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!!!  ...

Scallops Piccata

April 29, 2024 By Lisa Leave a Comment

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 ...

Cheesy Broccoli Soup

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 ...

Ham and cheese roll I LisaGCooks.com

Ham and Cheese Roll Ups In case you've ever wondered who wakes the rooster in the morning who wakes the farmer and the world; it's my 2 year old.  Only on Saturdays though oh and Sunday's.  She has her little loving heart set on waking up when it's still dark and while Mike and I are still very much dreaming.  So every Saturday morning I get her ...

Nacho Cheese Sauce

January 20, 2021 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Nacho Cheese Sauce I LisaGCooks.com

Nacho Cheese Sauce Okay, I fully acknowledge Nacho Cheese Sauce isn’t the healthiest thing in the world BUT, a little goes a long way and when it’s homemade you control the salt (that counts?!?). Whatever, this is DELICIOUS :) This is a simple recipe for hot, spicy cheesy goodness perfect for any and all of your favourite Tex-Mex ...

Beef Sliders with au Jus

July 22, 2019 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Beef Sliders with au Jus I LisaGCooks.com

Beef Sliders with au Jus I'm obsessed, obsessed I say with those Hawaiian sweet rolls that you see all over social media, and you know what???  I found them!  I love them!  They're delicious and so much fun!   So the bad part is they're not the healthiest but when you focus on portion, lean protein and sodium levels, it makes it less of a guilty ...

Brioche Slider Buns For the last few months I've been looking for slider buns in my grocery store but they're nowhere to be found!  Then, I don't know if you've noticed those awesome food videos being posted with you guessed it, slider buns!    I said enough!  I took the bull by the horns and I made my own slider buns.  Brioche slider buns.  ...

“Take-Out Burger”

October 6, 2016 By Lisa Leave a Comment

"Take-Out Burger" I'm calling this 'Take-Out Burger" because that's exactly what it tastes like; a decadent, naughty, fatty, bad-for-you-burger but really it's not bad for you at all.  I credit this to two things: My Yummy Boom Boom Sauce and Sautéed Mushrooms; what an incredible  combination.  This is a "putting it all together" recipe and I hope ...

Cheesy Broccoli, Chicken and Rice Skillet Casserole I LisaGCooks.com

Cheesy Broccoli, Chicken and Rice Skillet Casserole  Autumn is in the air; the days aren’t as long and the night’s air is cool and crisp. This weather screams casserole! Warm, soul-soothing dishes that infuse the home with warmth and smells of home cooking. I think this is my favourite time of year :) Serves 6-8 ½ tbsp (salted) butter 2 ...

Shredded Slow Cooker Beef Fajitas

August 27, 2016 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Shredded Slow Cooker Beef Fajitas This is a great make-a-head and it couldn't be simpler really.  The beef becomes infused with the flavour of the spices and literally melts in your mouth.  I consider this a more elegant take on the amazing original. Makes 8 Fajitas ½ tbsp (salted) butter ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil 454 g Stewing ...

My Mother’s Supreme Potato Salad

My Mother’s Supreme Potato Salad I LisaGCooks.com

My Mother’s Supreme Potato Salad All hail! My mother IS the queen of potato salads and this is one she made for us last week. You get crunch from the radish, bursts of sweetness from the corn and a delicate sweetness and creaminess from the cooked shallots. Not to mention, it’s low fat! I think I may have been her inspiration for that! Serves 6 ...
