Spicy Mediterranean Roasted Chicken Breasts This is one of those recipes that I go back to time and time again and yet, I've never posted it! I love roasting bone-in chicken breasts because you get a lot more flavour and of course it doesn't dry out. I like this marinade because you get the intense flavour from the garlic and oregano ...

Sweet Onion Marinated Chicken
Sweet Onion Marinated Chicken This is a dish that I made at my parent's house last week. I have to point out, because I think it's first time in history, there's NO GARLIC in this recipe. It was odd. I still feel not right about it. I honestly think this is the first time I haven't used garlic in a marinade recipe. So weird (but good!). I ...
Honey-Lime Marinated Grilled Chicken
Honey-Lime Marinated Grilled Chicken I'm completely torn. I love this time of year, I look forward to the cool nights and all the amazing holidays about to be celebrated but I also feel sad. I always feel like something beyond everyone's favourite time of year is over. Am I alone here? With that said I must point out that as a proud Canadian ...
Mustard, Lemon and Fresh Herb Chicken
Mustard, Lemon and Fresh Herb Chicken I was at my parent’s house last week and when I asked my mother what she wanted us to make for dinner, she replied (again) that she had a whole chicken (again)… did I mention, again? I’ve been challenged with coming up with new ways to use a whole chicken lately! This recipe was a huge success and by ...
A Brand New Flank Steak Recipe
A Brand New Flank Steak Recipe Before my baby boy started school my parents and our family would spend one day a week at their house where we hung out all day and then had dinner together. Then my little boy started school (sniff, sniff) so we couldn't do this anymore (I work weekends and so does my mother). So when summer rolled around we ...
Spiced Steak Rub
Spiced Steak Rub I was talking to a wonderful lady the other day and she observed that I cook a lot of meat while there seems to be more of a vegan push on nutrition. This gave me the opportunity to reiterate my personal philosophy on food. Life in moderation. I prefer lean protein (in appropriate portions) to starchy ...

Rosemary/Soy/Balsamic Marinated Chicken
Rosemary/Soy/Balsamic Marinated Chicken This is an old favourite that I took out of retirement, isn’t it funny how one day you just stop making a dish you love, like you just forget about it? I love this marinade because it’s my idea of fusion cooking at it’s finest; this is classic Italian/Japanese fusion, my favourite! Serves 4 ¼ Cup extra ...
Country Fried Chicken without the Fried
Country Fried Chicken without the Fried I have said it many times and I will say it again; I'm not a machine. I am just as tempted to eat that fried chicken because let's face it, it's ridiculously delicious! This is my low fat, baked version and I must admit this is awesome! It is flavourful and crispy and the only fat in it is from the low ...
