Quick Night Tandoori

December 5, 2022 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Easy Tandoori Dinner

Quick Night Tandoori Here I present my Quick Night Tandoori; a fast version of the classic Tandoori Chicken, on the table in under an hour :) I have been obsessed with my Tandoori Chicken recipe since I made it but it is a ‘plan a-head’ recipe and sometimes time is not on my side. Here I have taken all of the yummy marinade and turned it into a ...

Homemade Caesar Dressing

September 5, 2022 By Lisa Leave a Comment

homemade caesar dressing

Homemade Caesar Dressing One of my 'Guilty Pleasures' and I'm using quotations on purpose is Caesar salad.  The quotations is because it's a salad but delve deeper and you know what I'm saying is true.  Enter the mayonnaise based dressing; the foundation for the cheese and bacon.  I'd say I'm sorry or ashamed but I'm NOT! I love you Caesar salad ...

Lemon-Teriyaki Scallops

Lemon-Teriyaki Scallops

Lemon-Teriyaki Scallops This is a yummy, tangy teriyaki sauce that is fresher tasting than traditional teriyaki sauces, thanks to the fresh lemon juice!  Feel free to mix up the protein; salmon, chicken, shrimp, beef and even pork would work well with this sauce. Originally posted on May 01, 2016! Other Recipes you may like: Instant ...

Sweet Onion Marinated Chicken

Sweet Onion Marinade

Sweet Onion Marinated Chicken This is a dish that I made at my parent's house last week.  I have to point out, because I think it's first time in history, there's NO GARLIC in this recipe.  It was odd.  I still feel not right about it.  I honestly think this is the first time I haven't used garlic in a marinade recipe.   So weird (but good!).  I ...

Scallops Piccata

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 ...

Dill-Buttermilk BBQ Chicken

April 12, 2016 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Dill-Buttermilk BBQ Chicken This has been the craziest “spring” so far; it feels more like December than April. Sometimes though the sun peeks out like a little reminder that good things are ahead. That was the case when I made this dish; it was a beautiful afternoon that seemed like the season. Then it snowed. While we barbequed. Serves 4 ½ ...

Chunky Blue Cheese Sauce

January 27, 2016 By Lisa Leave a Comment

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 ...

Spinach dip in a bread bowl

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 ...
