Main Dish

Shrimp and Couscous Paella

Chicken Salsa Ranch Wraps

A quick dinner or easy lunch that keeps things healthy when your cramped for time. Salsa and ranch are cooked with chicken to create a delicious sticky sauce. Served in a tortilla topped with cheese, lettuce, and red peppers.

Hoisin Chicken with Noodles and Green Beans

A simple, homey dish with asian flair. A sticky, slightly sweet sauce seeps into ground chicken then is tossed with ramen noodles and green beans. Flavourful, quick and satisfying.

Homemade: Shake”n Bake

Homemade: Shake”n Bake

The first recipe for homemade Shake”n Bake that actually lived up to my expectations. It”s flavourful, crunchy and fast making it a great item to have stored in cupboard.

Two Recipes and A Baby

I’m sure many of you have guessed from my previous disclosure that I’ve had my baby. She came two weeks early so Grandma didn’t make it in time. We’ve spent the last week in zombie mode: changing diapers, feeding babies, getting every ounce of sleep that we can and trying to heal from a bit(…)

Tropical Barbecue Chicken Pizza

Quick & Cheesy Chicken Pot Pie

Quick & Cheesy Chicken Pot Pie

For the longest time my quick, go-to Chicken Pot Pie recipe involved canned cream of chicken soup and a homemade biscuit topping.
