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 […]
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 […]
Turkey & Sausage Jambalaya
When someone asks me at work if it’s ok for them to paint while pregnant, I feel like they think they are looking at an 8- month-pregnant party girl with a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other. Really, are you asking me, in my obviously pregnant state, if it’s ok for […]
Love me Chicken Tender
You know that thought you have when it’s summer time, and it’s beautiful outside, and someone offers you a plate of something sinfully delicious, and you have that nagging thought: “Oh dear, I’m probably going to get coerced into a bathing suit only minutes after I finish this”? Well, it’s officially time to welcome Fall!! […]
First on the First: Empanadas
I have the fever. It’s true. Now that the family is finally over the kind that makes you feel hot, then cold, then hotcold then HOOOOT then coldhotcold (ugh), we can focus on the very good kind. The Olympic kind!! I don’t know what it is about the Olympics. Maybe I secretly love seeing fit […]
Juicy Chicken Parmesan
I’m off for a mom-and-sisters’ pedicure soon in preparation for tomorrow’s wedding, but I just wouldn’t feel right relaxing without sharing this easiest of recipes with you all :) Really, it could well be that I’m the last to get on this mayo-chicken bandwagon, but just in case there are a few stragglers out there […]
Barbecue Pulled Pork Enchiladas
I am a slave to what you people want. You worry about all the sweets I eat: I join boot camp. You coo at pictures of babies: I make more babies. You ask for more savoury recipes: I deliver. And by “deliver“, I mean I ROCK ME SOME SAVOURY. Yup, I said it. I am […]
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 […]
Butternut Squash & Jalapeno Cream Soup
Ok, I know it’s spring and people are turning away from thoughts of squash and soup, but seriously, this cannot wait for fall. Despite my super cute new bathing suit and an exciting trip and family wedding in the plans, I am putting off thoughts of summer for as long as I can, and the […]
