Chickpea and Cauliflower Curry
Happy Meatless Monday!
We try to eat a vegetarian dinner at our house at least twice a week, although not usually on Monday. Most of the time I’m not organized enough for that. Typically our Meatless Monday ...
Greek Meatball Pitas with Mint Yogurt Sauce
I was reading an article the other day that said “Studies show that kids who eat the same meals as their parents are healthier”. It makes sense. Generally, when we prepare typical “kid-friendly” foods we sacrifice nutrition (chicken strips, hot dogs, macaroni ...
Roasted Tomato and Garlic Soup
Last week we were away in Disneyland. It was so much fun and so exhausting. There was also so much to eat. From the candy and treats to the gigantic smoked turkey legs to the character dinners, food was everywhere. Well, some ...
Turkey Meatloaf with Cranberry Sauce
With American Thanksgiving next week and Christmas just 5 weeks away (Yikes!), I’ve been seeing a lot of recipes lately to celebrate the season. I thought it was a perfect time to start working on some of the recipes I’ll be preparing this ...
Healthy Chicken Salad Sandwich
Let me start by saying that this post is not about a humble chicken salad sandwich as much as it is about my love of food, and all things that have to do with food. A month or so ago I was ...
Seared Scallops with Orange and Avocado
I love seared scallops. They seem so impressive, yet are really very simple to prepare. I usually make them to go along with a bowl of risotto (or two, but who’s counting). This time, however, I decided to take a different approach ...
French Onion Soup
I’ve been making a lot of soups lately and comfort food, in general. It’s been cold and rainy outside and I’ve been huddled up inside wandering around my kitchen. It’s my favourite place to be and is the centre of our home. ...
Blueberry Pizza
This is one of my favourite summertime recipes. I suppose it could be made all year long, but I always save it for summer when the local blueberries become available. To some people (specifically a couple of my friends), the idea of blueberries ...
Lentil Tacos
We have tacos of one kind or another at our house almost every week, usually fish or black bean. They’re delicious and can be really healthy if you load them up with the right things. Plus, the kids love them because they can ...
Pistachio Crusted Pork Tenderloin
Usually when I make Pork Tenderloin, I don’t really do a lot to it. I marinate it for a few hours in a mixture that includes orange juice and soy sauce and then roast it for about 45 minutes. I decided ...
Curry Turkey Sliders
Every recipe starts out as an experiment for me. Often, I’m trying to see how healthy and flavourful I can make something and still have my kids eat it. I’m fortunate to be blessed with children that are not too picky. Although they both have things ...
Tourtiere
With the opening of the Olympics last week, I decided to host an opening ceremonies party. It only seemed natural that the food would celebrate several of the countries from around the world. Also, naturally, the idea to have a party only came to me the day ...
