Cantonese Beef and Tomato Noodles Again, I have no idea if this is authentic Cantonese food but it’s so yummy, who cares? This dish is also another great pantry dish. I have loved this recipe for a long time but had actually forgotten about it. I made it for Mike to get a second opinion and he loved it! The verdict? Mike approved! Originally ...

Good Old Fashioned Meatloaf
Good Old Fashioned Meatloaf This is definitely on my top 5 list of favourite comfort food. This is my take on my mother’s recipe.

I am absolutely loving bringing my older recipes back into action ...

Chunky Beef Soup
Chunky Beef Soup My son LOVES Campbell’s Chunky Beef soup. LOVES it. I have made him a ton of homemade soups but he won’t eat them (ouch, my heart). So I decided if I couldn’t beat them, I’d join them; I have made a homemade version of Chunky beef soup, almost identical to Campbell’s. The ultimate taste-tester (my son) approved and he ate the ...

Yummy Beef Stir Fry
Yummy Beef Stir Fry I’m definitely one to embrace the bitter cold of a Canadian winter but let me clarify; I only embrace it when I get to stay in my warm home snuggled up with my family.
