Have you indulged or out of desperation bought one of those rotisserie chickens from the grocery stores – oh my goodness so tasty (what?! I happen to like that salty crispy skin). We don’t do it often and no I didn’t do it now. But I think every once in a while, you need an [...]
I will try and send out some recipes to make with items from your pantry. I'll create a section called "Pantry Staples" and will populate it with recipes as I make them. Here's the first recipe. I don't think I know of anyone who doesn't have a can of kidney beans in their pantry. Whether [...]
Think of this as an alternative to a traditional pizza crust. It uses chickpea flour which makes it gluten free (and is high in protein, iron and fiber – closing google), so everyone in the family can enjoy it – please don’t tell me you are allergic to chickpeas! There are versions of this chickpea [...]
I know it’s as natural as the seasons changing or night following day but it is never easy to let someone go when you love them - even if it is their time. My father passed away a few weeks back, he was 98 and I miss him very much. I often joked in my [...]
I know I've given you a lot of baking recipes - still seems like Christmas Treats rule this house. I'm changing it up a bit with this recipe which is one of my favorite dishes to make. It has some heat to it – lots of heat actually, but you can tone it down if [...]
One of my favorite treats when I was growing up was Scotch Eggs. It was one of mum’s specialty dishes and although I loved them, I never made them – until today! As a kid growing up, it was like having breakfast for dinner. Mum would use ground pork and an array of spices to [...]
Picture this if you will. It's Saturday afternoon and I'm headed for the grocery store to pick up some items for dinner. After 10 minutes of roaming around aimlessly, and no inspiration in sight, I call home. A beautiful sultry (she has a cold) voice answers "Hello! Hello! I say back! What would you like [...]
It’s been a while I know – at least a month since my last posting (I feel like I’m in confession!). There’s good reason though, we were in Portugal on vacation. To say we had a great time would be an understatement. The people, the culture, the history and oh yes – the food! People [...]
I know, I’ve been posting a lot of baking recipes. That's what the holiday's do to you - okay it's almost summer, but I like giving you different ways to eat sugar! Now that we have them out of the way, I thought I'd make a simple dinner tonight. Prosciutto wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breast with [...]
Carrots, you have to love them! They can be enjoyed raw, baked, grilled, pureed, stewed , juiced – oh yes, in cakes and so much more. They contain betacarotene and fibre. Wait - putting my science hat on, the betacarotene - is converted to vitamin A, and is attributable to healthy skin and may protect [...]
