Beef & Broccoli Teriyaki (Freezer meal!)

Beef & Broccoli Teriyaki (Freezer meal!)

With the number of kids home on a daily basis slowly dwindling, I’m trying to use my time more wisely when they’re away. I think I’m easing out of the stage where someone needs something all the time, and easing into a stage with a bit more time to actually get things done beyond the […]

Slow Cooker Tandoori Chicken (Freezer Meal!)

Slow Cooker Tandoori Chicken (Freezer Meal!)

I’ve been on a bit of a freezer meal quest lately, determined to find things that are easy to make ahead, and still taste good cooked from frozen. A huge part of this is being willing to make freezer meals by myself when time presents itself. This means NOT waiting for a sister or friend […]

Herbes de Provence Chicken Thighs

You guys, this is the 800th post I have posted on this blog. That is craaaay-zeee! It’s definitely possible that this hasn’t been the #1 best use of my spare time over the past 7+ (!!) years, but time flies when you’re having fun and the time has definitely flown. Somehow I’ve introduced you to […]

Seriously Good Freezer Meals: Cookbook Review and Chicken Parmigiana Recipe

Just when I least expected it, along came a book that has snapped me out of my kitchen funk. I have been just generally sick of making dinner evvvverrry day, for so many people with different tastes, and it has been reflected in uninspired, getting-by dinners thrown together in those crazy hours after school and […]

Zucchini Basil Spaghetti

Zucchini Basil Spaghetti

The good thing about Carl going out of town is that my grocery bill is literally cut in half. The bad news is I have 4 boys who will be teenagers before I know it, and this makes me realize that I don’t think we’ll be able to afford to feed them anything but noodles […]

Bacon Caesar Pasta Salad

Bacon Caesar Pasta Salad

Summer’s officially over before I’m even getting a chance to tell you about the salad that’s been on repeat all summer over here. It’s still hot enough here for barbecues, but if it’s not where you are, you’re going to have to put this in your back pocket for next year. With two kids who don’t […]

Honey Soy Chicken Thighs

Honey Soy Chicken Thighs

Since we’re talking about thighs today, let’s talk about mine. Yesterday, I wore pants. It has been so hot, but enough forest fire smoke has blown in that the sun is essentially blocked, and yesterday was downright pleasant, both outside and in. While I pray for rain and for the safety of those brave firefighters […]

Chicken Avocado Pasta

Friends, it’s time I cut back on the blogging.  I got a new job I am so very excited about, but it means something has to give, and I’d really rather that something wasn’t sleep. I’m sure most of you, like me, find it absolutely horrifying that I could have chosen to have an abortion in Canada […]

Spaghetti Pie

Spaghetti Pie

So we sold our house and are now busy looking to find a house to move to, and it’s all very exciting, but Pinterest is seriously taking over my life right now. I want to see every living room layout imaginable, preferably in colours I like, with a crawling child included for ease-of-manoeuvring reference. I want […]

Favourite Pancakes

I don’t know about you, but I am all about the practical gifts. Besides the standard socks, Carl has bought me my stand mixer, waffle maker, pastry brushes and blender on various occasions over the past few years. These are some of my favourite gifts because I get to use them all the time, he likes to use them since […]
