Fall is all about family feasts, falling leaves, pumpkins, frosty mornings, and comfort food. Today I have a recipe for a sweet potato casserole, a fall favourite, that will warm up your insides!! It’s sweet, and almost like a dessert, but makes a perfect side dish for a roast turkey dinner, pork, or beef. If …
Thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays. It has the beauty of the fall season and time spent with family and friends, without all the commercialism and sometimes stress, of Christmas. I also love a holiday where the focus is on the meal… and family, of course! 😉 There’s turkey, potatoes, cranberry sauce, squash, corn …
September means back to school time for most, and if you are like me, you need a few recipes with some really quick prep. It’s also a great time to get the crockpot out and put to use. With some meal planning and adding a few slow cooker recipes, your week can feel much more manageable …

It’s just the beginning of BBQ season, which makes me crave some delicious, fall-off-the-bone ribs. This BBQ ribs recipe, though, calls for dry-rubbing the ribs and cooking them low and slow in the oven. The last few minutes the sauce is put on and you can finish them on the BBQ to get the nice …
Today’s recipe makes me feel like spring! We are going to try a Taco Salad – the great taste of tacos without the carbs of eating them the traditional way. Salads just seem right for this time of year! You can feel free to modify to your tastes and diet requirements, because this is a …
Today I wanted to share a favourite pasta recipe. It is a light, creamy pasta sauce that somehow makes me think spring. The sauce gets its flavour from the crispy prosciutto (an Italian ham that is similar to bacon) and from the sweet peas. You can use low-fat prosciutto if you are mindful of fat, …
This next cooking adventure sounds ambitious — homemade pizza! Yes, everything made at home, by you. I have made homemade pizza, but I struggle with finding a recipe that I’m happy with for the dough. So for this post I’m going to invite some guests to help us out: Gordon Ramsay and his wife, Ramona. …
