Herb Crusted Goat Cheese Pan Pizza I’ve warned you about the pan pizza recipes but I’m trying not to be obnoxious! I wrote this recipe last month but I didn’t want to post it too close to my other pizza recipes; I can’t help it, they’re so good! Now a little note about this recipe, it’s inspired by herb crusted goat cheese, not made with it! I ...

Green Goddess Dressing
Green Goddess Dressing This is a recipe I shared years ago; perfect for this time of year :) The first time I saw this dressing was on Food Network, it was a mayonnaise based salad dressing with fresh herbs, not the healthiest! According to the Food Network this was a popular dressing in the 70’s but my parents had never heard of it. Oh well, ...
Corn and Tomato Salad with Lime Vinaigrette
Corn and Tomato Salad with Lime Vinaigrette This salad tastes like summer in a bowl but really this could be made in the dead of winter. This salad can be made ahead or prepared in a pinch. What I really like here is the balance of textures and flavours. This dish would be great to serve at your next barbeque. ...
Barley Vegetable Provencal Salad
Barley Vegetable Provencal Salad This dish was inspired by my concept of an Italian Rice Salad but as I started putting it together, Provençal emerged! This is one of those dishes that tastes better as it sits; let it stand in the fridge for up to 24 hours before serving. Oh, and in case you’re wondering; barley helps control blood sugar levels, ...
Basil Chimichurri
Basil Chimichurri Summer is slowly coming to an end and a great way to celebrate the fact that it’s still here is to enjoy the abundance of fresh herbs in the garden and to barbeque a delicious steak (and yes, we barbeque in the snow and fresh herbs are available all year round but there’s something magical about this time of year!), this dish is ...
Danish Cucumber Salad
Danish Cucumber Salad The first time I had this salad was when I was younger, my mother’s Danish friend made this and I loved it! I hope this recipe makes her proud! ...
Greek-ish Salad
Greek-ish Salad I made this for dinner tonight and thought I'd re-share! Is re-share a word!?! I love this salad! I’m pretty sure traditional Greek Salad doesn’t come with lettuce and that is why I am calling this “Greek-ish Salad”. As I’m sitting here writing this, I keep hearing Bart Simpson’s voice, “you don’t make friends with ...
Roasted Chicken with Fresh Herb Compound Butter
Roasted Chicken with Fresh Herb Compound Butter I'd mentioned earlier that I've been charged with coming up with a new way to use up a whole chicken (not sure if you remember that story!?!). Anyway, this recipe in inspired by simplicity. I find myself looking to get back to basics, I want the natural goodness of each ingredient to shine ...
Chimichurri Rice Salad
Chimichurri Rice Salad I couldn’t get that Basil Chimichurri off my mind, it’s so good! I kept thinking there has to be more I can do with this sauce and this idea popped into my head (I love it when that happens!). I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. ...
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 ...
Chicken and Waffle Sandwich
Chicken and Waffle Sandwich This is another ‘putting it altogether’ recipe; I love making a sandwich using homemade waffles because it’s something a little different and absolutely delish (did I mention the little squares hold more yummy sauce?). Serves 4 2 Anna’s Waffles with Chives (1/2 waffle per sandwich) 1 Medium vine ripened tomato, ...
Herbed Mayonnaise
Herbed Mayonnaise I’m so not a gardener but I’d love to be! Every Mother’s Day (well, 3 so far) Mike buys me a ton of fresh herbs from the Garden Centre and then he plants the herbs for me... and he keeps them alive all summer long! So thanks to Mike, I have a ton of fresh herbs that inspired this Recipe Redux theme of “Fresh From the Garden”. ...
