Chicken Tetrazzini with Tomatoes This is a hearty casserole that has been lightened up! Traditionally from what I’ve read, chicken tetrazzini has almond slivers but I don’t like almond slivers so mine doesn’t. Again, this looks daunting but this dish is really so very easy. Ideally you’ll use left over chicken or turkey which is really a bonus, I ...

Autumn Harvest Roasted Potatoes
Autumn Harvest Roasted Potatoes I was inspired once again by the abundance of fresh Ontario produce available this time of year and sadly I’m using up my fresh herbs before frost hits. This is a bittersweet time of year but it’s also the most beautiful. ...

Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Roasted Brussels Sprouts This recipe is about the Brussels Sprouts, the simplicity lets the flavour shine. By roasting the Brussels Sprouts the natural sugars caramelize and you’re left with slightly charred veggies that have the most incredible nutty flavour. SaveSave ...
Corn Chowder
Corn Chowder I must admit this is really good! Any time you are going to make a soup with corn, add in the cobs; you get a ton of flavour from doing that. This is a hearty stick-to-your-ribs chowder that still has butter and cream but a marginal amount. So while this tastes rich and heavy, you’re not going to feel weighed down after eating ...
Tuna (Noodle) Casserole
Tuna (Noodle) Casserole I must sound like a broken record; I hadn’t had a tuna casserole before either and yes, I’ve been missing out. This is a warm hug for your soul! With that said I must mention that Mike hates tuna (and all fish), absolutely detests it but he liked this casserole, he even had seconds. This is a great pantry dish; one we ...
Cauliflower and Potato Soup with Cumin and Turmeric
Cauliflower and Potato Soup with Cumin and Turmeric It’s soup season!!! I love cool autumn nights where I snuggle up with a big bowl of soup and leave the window open so I can feel the cold breeze against the hot soup. I love the spiciness and the simplicity of this dish, perfect for meatless Monday. Serve with crusty bread to make this a complete ...
Chili Noodle Bake
Chili Noodle Bake We’ve all been there; leftovers. What to do, what to do? Well, here I took the remaining chili we had leftover and I transformed it I to something amazing!!! Really though the reason I had to transform the dinner is because there wasn’t enough chili leftover to eat as a meal so I had to stretch it out with something else and ...
Good Old Fashioned Apple Pie
Good Old Fashioned Apple Pie Last year I published a Surviving the Holiday Dinner Guide and I said I bought the pie for dinner; that has haunted me for a year!!! I thought this insanely delicious pie recipe would help my karma and help your Thanksgiving menu. Stay tuned for my Updated Surviving the Holiday Dinner Guide with updated recipe ideas ...
Potato and Green Bean Pesto Salad
Potato and Green Bean Pesto Salad I feel like I’m counting down until my herb garden is gone along with all of the super fresh produce from our local farms. It feels like an end but really these ingredients are available all year long. Maybe it’s because the first day of autumn is in three days. Who knows my crazy logic (assuming I have any!) but ...
Another Delicious Beef Stew
Another Delicious Beef Stew It’s getting cooler outside and it’s about that time that stews and mashed potatoes are in order (except this week we have been hit by a heat wave…just add this to your favourites!). Serves 4 - 6 1 package of stewing beef (around 450 g) 1/2 cup whole wheat flour ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided ½ ...
Low and Slow Roasted Chicken
Low and Slow Roasted Chicken I made this at my mother’s house out of necessity, it was supposed to be cooked in a slow cooker but she only has a small slow cooker so the chicken didn’t fit (I actually laughed so hard that I cried watching her try to fit the chicken in the slow cooker, she was so mad at me!). So anyway, I did a little research and ...
