We were at Boston Pizza awhile back and Carl ordered some BBQ Bolognese Pulled Pork Pasta. I had a serious case of dinner envy (isn’t that the worst?), since it turned out to be way better than whatever I had ordered, and I kept sneaking bites while saying, “I could totally make this at home.” […]
Fish Tacos with Avocado Mango Salsa
Kristopher is known around here for his loud voice. He is pretty uncomfortable and quiet in public groups, so few people know he is the king of dramatics, both of excitement and distress, and the only “quiet” volume he possesses is a loud whisper when I absolutely insist he stops yelling about WANTING JUICE. We’ve […]
Mom’s Beef Bourguignon
Today I’m excited to début another new feature on the blog – in addition to Erin’s fashion expertise, my sweet Mom has agreed to come on board and contribute some of her amazing recipes! Hi Mom!! Really, I’ve been stealing and sharing her recipes the whole two years I’ve been blogging, so it only seems right you […]
Greek-Style Shrimp Scampi with Linguine
Follow my blog with Bloglovin …Good-bye Google Reader, let’s give something new a try :) So, how do people feel about shrimp? Shrimp is definitely a food that’s grown on me, from something I didn’t think I liked at all, to something I could tolerate when really hungry, to something I now actually crave at […]
Kid-Friendly Meatloaf
The things we do for our kids, right? This recipe was inspired when Gemma and I were looking through the Better Homes and Gardens New Junior Cookbook that we had taken out of the library, wondering which recipe to try together. I must confess to never having made meatloaf in close to 7 years of married life. […]
Teriyaki Chicken Stirfry {with Homemade Teriyaki Sauce}
Homemade teriyaki sauce isn’t something I ever really thought I’d be making, or recommending other people make. There are plenty of flavourful bottles of teriyaki sauce available at your local supermarket, I feel quite sure. But one day when I planned on teriyaki sauce in my dinner and found myself out, my mom pointed me […]
Peppery Chicken Quinoa {Cookbook Feature}
I am at heart a learner. I love the fact that it really is possible to learn something new everyday. Of course, with 3 preschoolers around, many a day goes by where the only kind of information I learn is that the words to the song are NOT “found me another one, prettier too, skip […]
Sweet & Sour Chicken Bites
Facebook friends. Mostly they make me feel unproductive, unsexy, and unsmart. They are always DOING things, looking CUTE, and posting links to interesting articles or pulling out pithy quotes that I’m unsure if they made up themselves or lifted from Eleanor Roosevelt. But, being a pretty unaffected-by-others person, I love me some Facebook. While these […]
Grilled Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Carl got his wisdom tooth pulled last week and due to the emergency nature and impaction, he had to be sedated. I didn’t tell you about this sooner because, quite frankly, I was recovering from the trauma. Have you ever been around someone you love who’s been medically sedated? Someone who is a foot taller […]
Mom’s Classic Lasagna
Fall and winter are all about comfort food. And what’s more comforting than your favourite recipes from growing up? This lasagna is probably the food I remember eating most often growing up, and one of the only things I knew how to make when I moved out: meat, noodles, cheese, noodles, meat. I will never […]
