Supper

I found this BLT Pasta Salad recipe last summer on Pinterest, and made it quite a few times.  Given the remarkably hot and humid weather we’ve had this week (it’s still only May!  Come on!), I’ve been wracking my brain for those easy to prepare, low energy, minimal cooking recipes that I dig out every summer.  I remembered the BLT ...

I love my crock pot.  Especially since returning to work, it’s so lovely to have meals ready to be eaten at the end of the day.  I’ve used it for a lot of purposes.  I’ve made pudding cakes, carrot cake, bread puddings, pea soups, stews, roasts, lasagnas, mac n cheese, apple sauce, etc., in it – but I’ve never thought ...

Even with a meal like pizza, one of our boys would still prefer a slice of buttered ... Read More »

I’ve never been a big fan of anything in the squash family.  But my sister (and co-author of this blog) made spaghetti squash for me once when I was eating gluten-free.  It was really good, especially how she made it.  She told me the basic gist of the recipe, and I made it for supper tonight.  It was a big hit, ...

I’ve noticed that in the past few weeks, leading up to the Christmas season, I’ve been using a LOT of bacon in my savoury treats.  I thought that if I’m doing this, others might be as well – and you might appreciate this tip!  This past summer, I picked up a fantastic tip from a good friend.  When it comes ...
