Supper

Green onions, green beans, beets, zucchini, & concord grapes. My garden is literally exploding with produce right now, and I couldn’t be happier!  Every day, supper is planned not around what is in the fridge, but what’s ready to come out of the garden.  And right now, the zucchini is ripening by the pound!   DH’s favourite food is lasagna. ...

All of a sudden we’ve noticed that the air is a little cooler, the skies are crisper and bluer, and some of the trees are starting to change colour.  That makes me think of fall and warm comfort food.  So when this recipe from the Pioneer Woman showed up in my Facebook feed today, I figured that I may as well ...

I happened to get a bunch of zucchini on clearance yesterday and wanted to do something fun with it.  The kids and I searched on Pinterest and decided on zucchini boats.  (They also thought we should try to float them on water before eating them…) I looked at a variety of recipes and settled on winging it with ingredients on ...

MR – I have never liked cauliflower – ever since I was really young.  I just remember the mushy texture and the odd taste.  My dad would always mash it into my potatoes so I wouldn’t have to taste it, but it didn’t help much.  So I have avoided it for much of my adult life.  But then there was ...

Happy Meatless Monday!  I’m going to share with you a recipe that I tried out a couple weeks ago – and I REALLY apologize for horrible pics – they don’t look good, but the dinner was actually really tasty!  It was the kind of meal that I felt could have been served on April Fools – Gluten-free pasta with alfredo sauce ...

MR – I was making chicken caesar salad last night, and realized that I would love to have some croutons in it.  I’ve never bought them, just because it never really crosses my mind to do so.  Then I remembered a recipe I learned way back in highschool for making your own croutons in the microwave.  It’s SO quick, so simple, ...

I’ve tried a few different Eggplant Parm recipes in the past couple years, but all of them just required way too much work for me to repeat them again – the egging, breading, & frying BEFORE all of the work to make them actually happens!  So I was thrilled to find this recipe from Chic galleria in which the eggplant was ...

Wow- it’s been a while. Sorry about that!  Many things going on, I hadn’t realized that it had been so long since I had posted last! Last Monday, I chose a recipe that I had made once before – Spinach Chickpea Burgers.  Chickpeas are inexpensive and versatile, and the weather was perfect for a BBQ. The recipe that I started ...

MR – Having spent a semester in Paris, I’m very partial to French foods, especially crepes.  You can get sweet dessert crepes or savoury dinner crepes.  You can buy them from a stand on the corner, and they are still amazing! My dad always used to make the best crepes (we called them Skinny Pancakes).  We knew whenever it was ... Read More »
