Supper

Along with those super delicious spinachballs that my two-year-old just devoured, I made an attempt at my very first soufflé.My first exposure to soufflé was watching Sabrina (the classic movie with Audrey Hepburn, not the teenage witch).  She learned how to bake a soufflé when she went off to cooking school in Paris.  “A woman happily in love, she burns ...

Yes.  Spinachballs.  Like meatballs.  But instead of meat, spinach.  And you know what?  They’re really good.  My husband and I really liked them.  But our 2-year old toddler, who believes that he’s allergic to vegetables?  LOVED them.  I’m fairly certain that he ate about 1/2lb of spinach last night.  I’m not exaggerating. Yesterday during naptime, I was frantically searching my ... Read More »

Continuing on with the low-carb, high protein theme, last night I used this recipe for “Mediterranean Pizza Skillet” as a jumping off point.  However, I don’t like olives, I didn’t have Italian Seasoning, and I didn’t want to serve it with a side of carbs.  I ended up with a very tasty supper, and even my incredibly picky two year ...

This was the most. Amazing. Recipe. That I have so far tried on Pinterest.  It really does taste like take-out.  I will admit – it seems a little strange coating chicken with cornstarch. Why not flour?  And then dredging it in egg, and frying it just until the chicken starts to brown? It looks like some sort of strange scrambled egg ... Read More »

 A few weeks ago when I was visiting my mom with the kids, I went through her recipe box and took photos of my favourite recipes that my mom used to make when I was growing up.  I went in there looking for one in particular, which was this one, the Super Apple Bake. I’m not entirely sure where the ... Read More »

  While our friends south of the border are preparing for Turkey Overload, we up here in Canada have been finished with Thanksgiving for over a month now.  I squirreled away some of the leftover turkey in the freezer, and while I love turkey and gravy sandwiches, I wanted to find something a little more creative for the final container ...

MR – I was given this recipe by a friend.  It was supposedly the EASIEST bread recipe there is – no breadmaker needed.   As I read through the blog post, I was inspired by her beautiful photos and the hundreds of comments, agreeing that this bread was amazing!  So…I tried it.  5 minutes to measure & mix the 4 ingredients.  ...

MR – A year or so ago, I pinned this pin for homemade hamburger buns.  It is a HUGE recipe, and it is  made by hand.  Since we have a breadmaker, I prefer to make my dough in there, so I adjusted the recipe to make fewer, and to work in a bread maker. I love this recipe – it’s ... Read More »

As I continue my journey into wheat-free cooking for my dear little guy, I find that there seems to be no end to new recipes to try on Pinterest.  The latest was an imitation Tater Tot recipe – made with cauliflower!  Find the inspiration for my post here.  The brilliance of this recipe is that it has 2 ingredients: 1 ...

In keeping with the wheat-free trend for my little man, I finally got around to trying this Cloud ‘Bread’ recipe, found here.  My little H loves his bread, and breakfast has been a hardship since he’s had to give up toast. Fluffy meringues waiting to be baked. This recipe is extremely easy to whip up – so long as you ... Read More »
