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 […]
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 […]
Fruit & Granola Wraps
I have a new favourite breakfast. And a new favourite lunch. And I’m sharing them both with you on the same day, can you believe it? AND I’m sharing them conveniently close to sharing homemade granola with you, which can be put to good use in this “recipe” of sorts…although I admit I used a […]
Berry Balsamic Glazed Chicken
Oh, hello Monday. We meet again. I had an interesting chat with some other ladies about procrastination over the weekend, and this is the week things change. I will check off everything on my to-do list, even the dusting. A big part of this for me will be making more reasonable weekly to-do lists with […]
Saturday Sweets: Grilled Strawberry Nutella Sandwich
It’s not too often I recommend eating a Saturday sweet recipe for breakfast and/or lunch! This probably falls into the spot as #1 healthiest Saturday Sweet on our blog, but it is too sweet not to be considered perfect for the list. Not to mention you can be enjoying it a mere 10 minutes after […]
Buttery Pasta Skillet Bake
I am so happy to have my laptop up and running again! I thought it was beyond repair, but after 2 weeks of despair Carl finally took pity on me and opened it up, which means he found the giant hairball that was clogging the fan and causing the computer to shut itself down every […]
Quick Crustless Quiche
Quick Crustless Quiche. Say that 5 times fast. Fun, right?! So let’s talk about Breakfast for Dinner. I am not a big breakfast person, so, while I have to eat breakfast to avoid a massive crazy mood swing by 9:00, I tend to stick to a muffin or scone, or a smoothie…something light, reasonably nutritious, […]
Spinach & Sausage Soup with Homemade Croutons
I don’t surprise easily, but sometimes people surprise me. Sometimes the surprise might be big, like a last-minute, your-bags-are-packed-for-you vacation. Sometimes the surprise might be small, like someone remembering to turn on the bedside lamp for their wife who is afraid of the dark and of stubbing her toes. Sometimes the surprise might be medium, […]
Chicken, Brie & Pomegranate Wraps
Have you met my friend Brie? Well, truth be told, we’re more than friends. I am in love with Brie. I would take Brie for walks on the beach if I could, maybe to a nice restaurant. I would wine Brie and dine Brie. Well, I would dine on Brie with wine, at least. It’s […]
Mexican Pasta Bake
It’s been brought to my attention lately that we need to post more legitimate meals around here. Apparently cookies and nanaimo bars do not qualify for everyone :) We’re more than happy to oblige, if someone would kindly extend the daylight hours! Taking pictures with an old point and shoot which doesn’t like to be […]
