Tuna Melt Stuffed Tomatoes
I love tuna melts. They carry such an interesting flavour combination with their tuna, tomato and cheese combination of deliciousness. I was perusing the latest All You Need is Cheese Magazine, put together by the Dairy Farmers of Canada, and I came across a recipe for Tuna Melt Stuffed Tomatoes....

Baked Ranchero Eggs
Good morning all! I’m so sorry that I’ve been MIA recently. Things have been a little crazy over here. We’ve had kitchen renos done! Yay! We now have direct access to the back yard through a sliding patio door, as well as a more open kitchen with a hole in the wall leading betwe...

Coconut Crusted Sole with Mango Lime Salsa
My goodness! It’s been over a month since I last posted. May has been an absolutely balls-to-the-wall crazy month for us over here. Justin applied for and got a promotion, we’ve been trying to rent our basement, and I started my own business. Add trying to find child care for Anna int...

Adventures in Sourdough Bread Baking
Guys, I’ve done it. I’ve finally taken the plunge into learning how to bake my own bread. I’ve tried baking with yeast in the past and have had so many mixed results that I quickly gave up. I’ve read many accounts that baking with sourdough culture is actually easier to ge...

Orange Ginger Glazed Chicken
I’ve been on a ginger kick lately. I’ve used so much ginger in the last few weeks that I’ve decided to invest in a pot of pre-ground ginger. I know, some of you a horrified, but the amount of time is takes to peel then mulch up the ginger sometimes makes me want to use […]

Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp Soup
I’ve been battling a naaaasty cold over the past few weeks. Coughing, sinusy stuff. Ugh. No fun. And with that cold has come a very strong hankering for soup. This soup helped the cold and made me feel a lot better! First things first, melt some thai red curry paste in the bottom of a [R...

Honey Garlic Stew
Some of my favourite recipes come purely from the inspiration of the ingredients I have in my fridge or my freezer. For instance, this recipe was inspired by these amazing honey garlic sausages we picked up at Costco on our last run. From there, I chopped up all the veggies I had in the fridge [&...

Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos
We took baby on vacation for the first time last week to Mexico. It was a blast! We rented a super huge house for my whole family. There were three babies, two kids and 10 adults. Quite the traveling party, let me tell you. When I got home, I couldn’t be happier to be in […]

Veggie Packed Bolognese
I’ve been having a lot of fun in the kitchen lately. Anna’s naps are getting longer, leaving me more time to exercise my creative spirit in the kitchen. We’ve had a really nice winter so far, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to eat hearty stewed meals that simmer on t...

Sesame Ginger Salmon
I’ve recently read that breastfeeding moms should be consuming 400mg of DHA (omega 3) per day, to help to pass along those brain-building nutrients to their babies. Well, if that gives me an excuse to eat more salmon, I am all for it! Also, with the rising cost of groceries lately, I’...

California Chicken Flatbread with Chipotle Ranch Sauce
I’ve been having a lot of fun in the kitchen lately. Now that Anna’s naps are hopefully starting to normalize (uh oh… did I just jinx it?!), I’m finding longer pockets of time to play around. Justin went out with his Dad for a Robbie Burns event on Friday, and since I was ...

Chana Masala and Coconut Curry Chana Masala
I love Chana Masala, and I have John Schneider from Gold Forest Grains to blame. Back when I was pregnant, John introduced me to Remedy‘s Chana Masala wraps, and my life has never been the same since. Seriously. In the last month of pregnancy, I got to the point where all I wanted to eat [&...

Cinnamon Apple Baked Oatmeal
I’ve been on an oatmeal kick lately. It’s really quick and easy to make, and it fills me up (which is something that is hard to do lately. Breastfeeding burns up so much energy!) This baked oatmeal has a really good texture to it. First things first, mix your dry ingredients in a bowl...

Vanilla Spice Steamed Milk
I love steamed milk. It’s the ultimate in a comfort beverage for me. I love to try and create new ways to bring out the natural sweetness in milk, without adding too much. This flavour combination is reminiscent of a chai late, without too much bite. There are only three ingredients to this...
