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 ragĂş that originated in northern Italy. Since we […]
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 […]
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 […]
The holidays are just around the corner which means it’s time to brainstorm holiday meal ideas. As always they are coming faster than we can plan. Since I am thinking about my menu for Christmas Day, I thought I would share some of my ideas […]
