We’re very lucky because like so many Canadians, on the weekends we pack up our car and head to the cottage. During ski season it’s the most fun anyone could imagine. Every weekend is filled with friends, activities, parties….ummm ya and a few runs here I know most people hate the winter but truthfully I […]
Chicken and Avocado Mousse wrapped In Prosciutto with Herb Tortellini and Spring Peas
Those are some Sweet Peas you got!! One of our first bounties in the Spring are Sweet Peas (Spring Peas) ! I love the bright green colour of them and the giant pods full of beautiful round goodness. I know they say the little ones are the sweetest but I always get a thrill when […]
Mint and Pea Soup with Ricotta whipped Beets and Egg Parmesan Tulles
The Irresistible Flavours of Spring!! It’s March break here in Ontario and being a big ski family, for us that usually means a week at the cottage skiing! There really isn’t anything better than those Spring ski days. We wait all year for them. Warm, sunny days that make us feel closer to nature and happy to the core. […]
Quinoa Risotto with Chicken Supreme, Poached Eggs and Trumpets
Move Over Rice. We’ve got a Leaner Meaner Grain Movin’ in! Well with that being said, I still have to say I still love you Mr. Rice! Sorry but the guilt got me… I don’t want to bash my old faithful! Quinoa is the new IT girl though right?! Everywhere you turn this tiny little grain […]
Chicken Shawarma with Quick Pickled Beets and Lebanese Rice
This chicken is keepin’ me Sha-Warma!! We don’t eat out often I have to admit, but when we do Shawarma is often something chosen by the family….especially my husband!! Usually we get the plates rather than the wraps because 2 can easily be split between 4 people!! I so often get into conversations with people […]

A Tomato Twist! When summer starts to feel like it’s around the corner, my mind always goes to Spring and Summer produce… especially tomatoes!! Come on people….is there really anything better than the taste of a locally farmed summer tomato?? The other thing that motivated this dish was a new book I’ve been reading… this Donna […]
Chicken and Apple Breakfast Sausage
These Little Patties are the Apple of my Eye!! Who doesn’t love sausage? Not me that’s for sure! If I had to chose one thing that I secretly could eat with wild abandon it would be fabulous tasting sausages. But come on, let’s be honest most of it really isn’t that great for you!! So […]
Candied Pecans
We all need a little Nutty in our life right??!? Lets just say this recipe and my life lately are both the nut in Nutty! I’ve been very AWOL lately I know. I can’t believe May was the last time I posted a blog! Life has been very busy with the family, summer, Christmas, one […]
Greek Chicken Pie
You can never get enough of this killer combo of ingredients!! It’s been a looong day, kind of one of the longest! I’m not going to get into it but let me tell you the teen years with a daughter are not for the faint of heart. I’m presently feeding my wounded soul with beef […]
French Onion Chicken No
Bowl Required!!! So I’m feeling pretty rusty at this writing thing! It’s been too long and I’ve forgotten how! lol Is it terrible I really don’t have anything brilliant to talk about or say today….even after all these months saying nothing. French Onion soup in Canada isn’t just a comfort food, its a tradition! In […]
