When I stopped eating wheat, pasta was one of the things that I missed the absolute most (besides scones), and I was more than thrilled when I found out that rice pasta, when cooked right, is just as delicious! If you are sensitive to wheat, or gluten intolerant, and haven’t tried rice pasta, then go […]
Rosemary Garlic Roasted Beets
I’ve been meaning to try roasted beets for aaaages, but Carl was dragging his feet as he sometimes does in the new-veggie department so I put it off and tried to convince him to put them in his smoothies instead, which also ended unsuccessfully. I wasn’t willing to give up, though, because they are a […]
Mini Meatball Subs
I wasn’t sure what to call these, since in my mind they had to be called “slubs” but I realize that doesn’t really sound too appetizing. But that’s just what they are – slider buns filled with meatballs = slider subs = slubs. Amiright? Superstore/Loblaws started selling these eensy top-split hot dog buns, presumably to […]
Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos
This is definitely one of our family’s all-time favourite meals. It’s one of the few recipes in my regular rotation and is one of my go-to recipes when I want to help someone out with a meal for their freezer! The recipe doubles easily, and you can cook the taquitos from frozen in 15-20 minutes. […]
Freshness!
I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner. After spending close to a month at my parents’ house last summer before moving back to BC, I got kind of used to having fresh herbs in my food. My mom has a flourishing herb garden and threw them in all our dinners with wild, delicious […]
Happy (Easter) Cookies
Easter weekend! Easter is my favourite holiday, both for the Christian background and the totally unrelated candy choices that take over the grocery stores. Although, eggs = hatching = new life…so there is some logic I suppose? Cadbury Creme Eggs and Mini Eggs have to be my favourite Easter candies, along with “Mr. Munchy”, […]
Zucchini Bread
Well, since my love of zucchini is well-established, I’ll just get right to it. This is a delicious zucchini bread I’ve been eating since I was barely walking, and even more delicious if you add a crumble topping of approx. 1 tbsp melted butter, 1/2 cup oats and 1/3 cup brown sugar…adjust to your taste, […]
Teriyaki Beef on Lettuce & Quinoa
I love when I find recipes that are a little different from my usual and still delicious, and this definitely qualifies! My sister and I have been exchanging meal plans for just over a year now and it has definitely resulted in a huge stack of new “regulars” in my cooking schedule. One day when […]
