Honey Lime Peanut Vinaigrette

April 22, 2025 By Lisa Leave a Comment

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 ...

Chunky Blue Cheese Sauce

January 6, 2025 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Chunky Blue Cheese Dip I LisaGCooks.com

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 ...

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 ...

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

October 7, 2024 By Lisa Leave a Comment

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! Originally posted on March ...

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 ...

spicy chipotle marinade chicken I LisaGCooks.cm

Sweet and Spicy Grilled Chicken This marinade has it all, it’s sweet, smoky, tangy, spicy and hot! I really have no heat tolerance but this chicken was so moist and flavourful that I didn’t mind that my lips were on fire and that my tongue had gone numb!   This is what you'll need 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tbsp honey ...

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 ...

Cheesy Potato Wedges with Pulled Pork

March 17, 2024 By Lisa 3 Comments

Cheesy Potato Wedges with Pulled Pork So I'm going to start this with saying portion control is key; throw in a Green Salad to complete the meal and this is totally do-able as a dinner for 4-6 people.  Yes; potatoes, cheese and pulled pork but considering how bad the numbers could be I think we're good 😊. Now I'm going to tell you a story, ...

Chicken and Dumpling Soup

January 23, 2024 By Lisa Leave a Comment

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 ...
