Quick French Dip Sandwiches
Proof that simple is often best. This is quickest and tastiest beef dip I’ve ever made. A dangerous combination.
Main Dish
Spicy Bean Burritos (Freezer Friendly)
I had high hopes for these burritos after spotting them on Annie’s Eats (I trust that woman with my taste buds) and they were even better than I thought they were going to be. That doesn’t happen too often. I find that beans tend to zap the flavour out of dishes and I was a [...]
Shortcut Potato & Cheese Perogies
Potato and Cheese Perogies have got to be one of my favourite comfort foods and homemade is THE best! But, they’re so much work. You spend all afternoon making them only to have half of them eaten at dinnertime. I used to get together with my sister-in-law and we’d make big batches of cottage cheese [...]
Pecan Crusted Chicken & Apple Salad with Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette
Oh goodness. I don’t even know how to begin telling you how absolutely delicious this salad is. The only thing I can think to say is that it was so good I was craving it for dessert. Really. Chicken breasts coated in a pecan, sesame seed, flour mixture – pan-fried til crisp and then baked [...]

Hamburger Helper reminds me of my dad. When I was a kid and Dad was cooking you almost always knew it would contain ground beef. His specialty was a concoction of ground beef and cream of mushroom soup served over rice. I always looked forward to it whenever he made it and it tasted very [...]
Chicken Barley Soup
My family (like most families right now) has been struggling with being sick pretty much non-stop. By the time the weekend comes my son has something new to spread around the house. It makes it’s way through the family just in time for something new to catch on. But that’s ok, it’s part and parcel [...]
Quick Chicken Parmigiana
I used to not be a fan of chicken and tomatoes together. There was something about it that just seemed off to me. Give me cream with my chicken and tomatoes with my beef! That’s what I used to think. I’m not sure what changed my mind. I guess a part of growing up is [...]
My Favourite Chili
This chili has a great robust flavour, a good amount of heat and the perfect meat/bean ratio – winning the spot of my favourite chili. I have a secret to tell you. I used to not be able to make a good pot of chili to save my life. I’ve tried many five-star recipes with [...]
