Honey Lime Peanut Vinaigrette I LisaGCooks.com

    Honey Lime Peanut Vinaigrette A really good friend of mine is obsessed with Milestone’s Chicken Salad – obsessed. She asked me to replicate their dressing and while my dressing here is nothing at all like their’s (I don’t remember what it tastes like), this dressing is definitely inspired by Milestone’s Chicken Salad ...

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 ...

Crusty Bread I LisaGCooks.com

Crusty Homemade Bread When I think about a dish I'd find potentially intimidating, homemade bread is at the top of the list.   I don't think it's the level of difficulty but rather the investment.  The ultimate commodity; time.  It takes a really long time for bread (I'm not sure a bread machine would help with this?).  Note to self- look in to a ...

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... A lot... Sorry 😞 Mike said it's just as good and I choose to believe he is telling me the truth😂😂 Serves 6-8 ½ Cup fat free sour cream ½ ...

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 ...
