Poached Eggs on Rye with Guacamole is a quick and easy meal idea for Meatless Monday or any of those other days when you’ve spent more time outside than inside. I was never really an ‘egg-person’ while I was growing up, but life has taught me that eggs are a very easy and very nutritious meal now and again. I ... Read More »
This is a recipe that I created kinda by accident. I have a suspicion that most recipes that call for celery could actually use rhubarb, instead, since they’re both stringy, fibrous, and have a ‘tang’ to the taste, so I’ve been experimenting with that. My husband doesn’t like potato salad very much, so I thought if I threw some sweet potatoes ... Read More »
We don’t do much in the way of summer vacations in our family, but we love day trips – loading the bikes up in the trailer, driving into Toronto, and taking the ferry across to spend the day on the Toronto Islands, or spending a few hours touring the Grand River in Brian’s 12′ aluminum fishing boat. Easy & healthy food ... Read More »
This no bake Grasshopper Pie isn’t so much a pie, but it’s definitely a very tasty dish. We were headed to a Holiday Monday BBQ and I left myself too little time to make dessert, so I headed straight to my No Bake Treats board on Pinterest. Follow Jennifer VanOosten’s board No Bake Treats on Pinterest. I used the recipe from ... Read More »
I think that I’ve mentioned that I LOVE eating breakfast for dinner. And for breakfast. And lunch. Maybe even for snacks, too. Screw it. I could eat breakfast all day long, every single day. I decided last week that crepes were going to feature on our Meatless Monday dinner recipe, but I also needed to work in some protein. I wanted ... Read More »
We’ve eaten a lot of black beans & chick peas this winter on Meatless Mondays. Recipes that are good sources of protein, but I’m a little bored of them already and I only make a meatless meal once a week! When I went to the Food & Drink Show in Hamilton last month, I was introduced to Paneer cheese as another protein option for ... Read More »
Good afternoon & Happy Meatless Monday! This week, I made my Meatless Monday meal on Sunday, but it’ll taste just as good on a Monday – I promise you! Pancakes are often a breakfast meal, but I tossed in some veggies and herbs to make these savory pancakes a great & filling dinner! I made these with El Peto Gluten ... Read More »
This was a meal that I distinctly remember eating (& liking! rare, because I didn’t like pasta when I was growing up) when I was living at home. I didn’t think of it for years until a friend on Facebook said one time, “I need help! I need a recipe for dinner that involves spicy sausage & pasta!” And boom. ... Read More »
I’ve always loved tortilla and cream cheese pinwheels. I’ve seen the Christmas tree layout a few times on Pinterest, so I thought I’d give it a try for our New Years’ celebration with the kids. I just made a basic mixture of 1 package cream cheese, 1/4 c. cranberries, 2 Tbsp. walnuts and about 1/3 c. shredded cheese. I ... Read More »
This has been my go-to recipe for brownies over the years, mostly because it’s very easy, and tastes great every time! It tastes amazing with ice cream, and if you make it in mini-muffin tins, it tastes like those two-bite brownies! Ingredients:6 Tbsp. cocoa1 c. sugar1/2 c. flour1/8 tsp. salt1/3 c. melted butter1 egg1 tsp. vanilla 1. Preheat oven to ... Read More »
