When the weather gets colder, it’s all about the comfort food. Pot pie is one of our favourites because it is quick and easy to make and tastes so simple and delicious! I make this after we have had a roasted chicken or turkey. I’ll cut up the leftover meat into cubes and freeze inContinue reading “Easy Pot Pie”

English Muffin Pizzas
I usually start my posts off with a picture of the finished meal. This time, I featured a picture of the Chef! This week we started having our daughters each pick, prep and cook dinner once per week. They are 11 and almost 13 now and becoming quite adept in the kitchen. We wanted toContinue reading “English Muffin Pizzas”
Healthy Tuscan Chicken
Many of our meals are decided on by ingredients that I need to use up. This one came along because I had peppers and tomatoes that needed to be eaten. We had chicken breasts in the freezer and I had been watching a cooking show, Wall of Chefs, with my eldest the night before whichContinue reading “Healthy Tuscan Chicken”
Simple Beef Stroganoff
I used to dread this as a kid. I thought it looked awful, didn’t want to eat it and wondered why mom made it for dinner. Fast forward a few years (okay, decades) and I decided to try making Beef Stroganoff for my kids. I looked up different recipes, I wanted something simple, easy, usingContinue reading “Simple Beef Stroganoff”
Quick and Easy Shepherd’s Pie
This recipe is not a traditional Shepherd’s pie. It’s a variation for a quick and easy dinner that kids gobble up! I usually plan this meal to follow a night we have had mashed potatoes. I make a bigger batch with dinner the night before so prep for the Shepherd’s pie is so fast andContinue reading “Quick and Easy Shepherd’s Pie”
Fish in a Bag
Weird title, right? But that is LITERALLY what this meal is. Fillets of fish, on a bed of vegetables, wrapped up in a parchment paper “bag” and baked. The veggies steam and give the fish such a fresh flavour, there is nothing better! This meal can be done with almost any type of fish, itContinue reading “Fish in a Bag”
Hearty Lasagna
Every year when I ask my husband what he wants for his birthday dinner, nine times out of ten, his response is lasagna. Not take out, not a big, juicy steak, all he wants is a giant, homemade lasagna. It is a fantastic family meal, easy to make and share with a large group, orContinue reading “Hearty Lasagna”
Quinoa Summer Salad
When the weather gets hot, I find we like to eat lighter meals. Trying to find meals that aren’t too heavy, but still pack a lot of nutrition can be harder, especially when we’d rather be playing in the backyard or park with the kids than cooking. Quinoa is such a healthy grain, full ofContinue reading “Quinoa Summer Salad”
Pizza Buns
I love taking a simple item and seeing what else can be done with it. I’ve posted before about using frozen bread dough to make buns, but there are so many more things that one loaf of dough can be turned into! One of my kids’ favourite things for lunch is pizza. A quick andContinue reading “Pizza Buns”
