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 ...

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 ...

Swedish-ish Meatballs

August 15, 2019 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Swedish-ish Meatballs I LisaGCooks.com

Swedish-ish Meatballs So I compared my recipe (this one) with my mother's (who is Swedish) and while I captured the spirit of the Swedish meatball I did make 3 technical errors. First, traditional Swedish meatballs use half ground beef and half ground pork (I only used ground beef). Second, I added garlic but really; I’m half Italian and I ...
