My Sunday was dedicated to making food for my almost 8 month old, Parker. In just 2 hours I managed to prep, cook, and portion out enough food for her for one month!! This is a pretty considerable cost savings, as the premade baby food pouches range from $1.29-1.99 per pouch. If you went through … Continue reading Baby Food Blitz
Haddock happens to be my gateway fish into the world of seafood. Growing up in a Northern Ontario community, predominantly Italian, meant little exposure to fresh seafood. In turn, any experience I had eating seafood was usually a negative one. It either tasted too “fishy”, or I’d chomp down on a bone, or the texture … Continue reading Cajun Panko-Crusted Baked Haddock
This recipe will satisfy your craving for a creamy coleslaw but is a healthier alternative using fat free Greek yogurt. Pair this coleslaw with fish (like this Cajun Panko haddock), use it for a topping on fish tacos, use it as a sidedish to bbq’d fare, or be like me and eat it straight out … Continue reading Creamy Greek Yogurt Coleslaw
Having two little ones at home, one of whom keeps me up all night and wakes me up before the sun almost every day, means I’m living in a constant zombie-like state. What I want to eat when I’m tired: anything containing sugar, in other words carbs on carbs on carbs. What I actually eat: … Continue reading Tired and Hungry
I just roasted another batch of beets to have on hand for salads, dips, baby food, etc. I think beets are becoming more popular. I see them more and more on restaurant menus, which makes me happy! Not only are they a very versatile root vegetable which can be used in so many different dishes … Continue reading Just BEET it
This week we went heavy on the vegetables, which to me is heavenly. I could easily leave meat out of my diet and be a vegetarian but my husband is a serious carnivore. What he has come to realize though, is that some vegetarian dishes are really tasty. After downing a bowl of this Coconut Lentil … Continue reading I ♥️ veggies
You’re probably thinking, does this girl have anything else in her kitchen other than avocados?? I think the majority of my posts so far have contained an avocado, but that is what happens when you buy a bag of avocados at Costco and need to use them up before they go bad! So let me … Continue reading Avocado “mayo”
Today was one of those days, I was running on empty in the sleep department and I just needed a little pick me up in the afternoon. I had some avocados about to go bad so figured I’d try and use them up. I’ve seen recipes for avocado pudding before so now was the perfect … Continue reading Chocolate Avocado Pudding
One of my fond memories of serving was the time I asked my customer if he wanted “soup or salad” with his main dish. He replied “sure, I’ll try the super salad”. I suddenly realized I needed to reword that question and lead with the salad, as to avoid any further confusion! But while we’re on … Continue reading Soup ‘er salad?
After spending a great sunny vacation in Mexico with my family, it’s always a bit bittersweet to come back home to real life. I definitely enjoyed the break from cooking and cleaning up while away, but also probably ate one too many tacos and sipped a few too many mojitos, so getting back to … Continue reading Back to reality
