Pea and Almond Couscous
Greetings from the bleary eyed house of Neufeld. Slowly but surely we’re finding our groove. I’ve been so lucky to have my mom here. I’m not sure what I would have done without her. Two kids is just a zoo, there’s no way around it. A cute and cuddly zoo for sure, but still a(…)
Simplified Stuffing
Although I never spent much time in the kitchen growing up my mom”s simple, hearty and homemade cooking had a big impact on me and inspires a lot of the way I cook today. She”s an awesome cook and has produced some of my all time favourite recipes. Today I”m sharing her Simplified Stuffing. If(…)
Mandarin Orange Broccoli Salad
This is a twist off of my mom’s Broccoli Salad recipe. Hers is packed full of yummy goodness like grapes, sesame seeds, grated carrots and crumbled bacon. Although it is one of my favorite salads to eat, I’m much to lazy to make it for a weeknight dinner. This is my simplified version with a(…)
Barbecue Bean Salad
Our family is in the midst of kitchen renovations. We started tearing out the kitchen cupboards last weekend and are currently in the process of laying the flooring so we can get all the cupboards and appliances in over this coming weekend.

Nothing is more frustrating to me then wasting food. Whether it be because I burnt something, forgot about it in the back of my fridge, made something less then stellar, or simply bought too much of it. Whatever the case, I hate to throw away food. One of those foods that seems to always go(…)
Fruity Red Onion Vinaigrette & A Simple Salad
I made this salad for my company over the weekend. I had plans to make a couple different salads but we all liked this one so much that we couldn’t seem to stay away from it. Sorry Mr. Caesar, you have been trumped. This is my favourite homemade vinaigrette so far. Most are too oily(…)
Breadstick Twigs
You know those people that you just know well enough that every time you run into them you have to strike up an awkward conversation? So, you try desperately to pretend that you have not noticed them because you are not in the mood for small talk? I think we all know at least one(…)
Roasted Mashed Potatoes
I have a confession to make. I am not so great with potatoes. Don”t get me wrong, I love potatoes. In fact, they are one of my favourite vegetables. But, my husband does not appreciate their texture or lack of flavour so making potatoes is a little foreign to me. When I saw some Roasted(…)
