Tomato soup with toast

Simple 5-ingredient Tomato Soup

Growing up I was never a big fan of tomato soup but somewhere along the way, I have learned to appreciate it. Perhaps more for its ease of cooking than anything else but the truth is, my kids love it! At the moment, this is […]

Finished 4-minute breakfast sandwich

4-Minute Breakfast Sandwich

Breakfast sandwiches are a family favourite around here. We are always trying to change things up because we make them so often. I recently remembered this super-easy way to make egg sandwiches and I just had to share it. My first ‘real’ job, other than […]

spaghetti bolognese plated topped with parmesan cheese

Spaghetti Bolognese

Spaghetti Bolognese is a pasta that I can eat every day. There is nothing easier and tastier than the rich, meaty tomato sauce. While all the Italians cringe, let me clarify that this is not the traditional ragú that originated in northern Italy. Since we […]

Greek style Chicken Burger with toppings

Greek-Style Chicken Burgers

Chicken burgers often come either breaded or with a grilled chicken breast but neither of these methods really captures the juiciness or flavour of a hamburger. I love a good hamburger any day of the week and these chicken burgers are right at the top […]

Blender Pink Pancakes

I never used to eat pancakes for breakfast, better yet pink pancakes. I used to think that pancakes were a treat when going to a diner for breakfast. I also used to think that pancakes took a lot of time to make. Then I had […]

Baked beer can chicken plated.

Roasted Beer Can Chicken

I’ve always been a big fan of oven-roasted skin-on bone-in chicken, but baking a whole chicken was always very intimidating. That was until my late mother-in-law introduced me to beer can chicken.  Though this recipe is not hers, we do make this beer can chicken […]

Everyday French Toast (Freezer-Friendly)

French toast does not have to be a special weekend meal. Make a double batch and freeze to throw into a toaster and serve mid-week, or pack it for a school lunch. Everyday French toast is for every day of the week, or any day […]

Freezer Meal: Shepherd’s Pie

Preparation Put the ground meat into a large frying pan and cook on low heat. The low heat allows the release of the liquid from the meat without cooking it off quickly. We want all that goodness for our sauce. Stir the meat occasionally to […]
