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
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, ...
(Baked) Texas Roadhouse Potato Skins

I don't know what else to say but thank you to the foodie gods for this recipe idea 😇🙏 A simple recipe of (Baked) Texas Roadhouse ...
Chicken and Dumpling Soup
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 ...
Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable Soup
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 ...
Apple Cheddar Christmas Loaf with Thyme
Apple Cheddar Christmas Loaf with Thyme This is the perfect addition to everyone's holiday breakfast or brunch feast.

You can even make this the day before and then on Christmas morning warm it in a low oven just before serving. I truly hope everyone ...
Buttermilk Potato Casserole
Buttermilk Potato Casserole This is a recipe I shared years ago but I wanted to share it again and update it with a few photos! Mike's mom was here recently and she made an incredible potato casserole that reminded me I had this recipe written, just waiting to be published! I don't know why I waited so long! Gently baking the ...
Cheesy Mexican Beef and Rice with Beans, Skillet Dinner
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 ...
Smoky Chipotle Burgers
Smoky Chipotle Burgers Have you ever gone on google and just searched for a simple food, such as burger and clicked on images? I do that sometimes for inspiration… and this is what I came up with last week; tons of veggies with the burger piled high with a delicious sauce! This time I went with my Chipotle Mayonnaise (hot! Hot! ...

Cheesy Broccoli Soup
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 ...
Sausage Frittata
Sausage Frittata Here it is, New Years Eve. I often find myself nostalgic on this day, almost sad to see something go. With that said I must say I have a great feeling about 2016, I think it’s going to be a wonderful year. I have prepared a recipe inspired by New Years Day Brunch (I thought of breakfast but who was I kidding!?!). Serve this ...
