Another recipe sent my way by my friend Sandra – these took a bit of prep but can easily be made ahead of time and cooked at dinner time. Alternatively, the original recipe (found at Once Upon A Chef) says they can be baked ahead of time and even frozen before being thawed and re-heated.…
I’m in a discombobulatory free-fall right now. And if I may speak for everyone else – I believe we all are. The last time I felt this topsy-turvy was when I brought a baby home for the very first time. I was thrown into a tailspin of confusion like nothing I’d ever experienced before. Day…
Yet another simple and delicious recipe courtesy of my friend Melanie. Originally hailing from Food.com, I’ve made a few changes below. Everyone over here loved it – kids included. All our plates were literally licked clean. Enjoy. Ingredients: 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut in half)* 1 large onion, chopped 1 large red bell pepper,…
If you’re looking for a family-friendly movie that everyone will enjoy – then check out Onward – now streaming on Disney +. At first, I found it a bit heavy-handed from my adult high horse – but once I settled in, I actually liked it. Tanya’s Score: Good* Rated: PG Starring: Spider-Man; Andy Dwyer;…
My friend and neighbour Lise found this recipe and sent it my way. Not only is it relatively simple to make, it’s also delicious. We snacked on it over here – but I think it would go nicely with a bowl of soup or chili – even as a burger bun. I have it on…
Eight weeks and one day ago, I replaced my Brita water filter – then the world went crazy and I didn’t even see it coming. I’m a creature of habit and routine which means every two months, I religiously change that filter. I crack open a fresh one and hold it under a gentle water…
Found this one hidden in one of my old hand-written recipe books. Apparently, I pinched it from an old Milk Calendar. I won’t lie – there’s a bit of prep required in terms of vegetable chopping – but once that’s done – the rest is pretty much a breeze. Everyone liked it – kids included.…
Once upon a time, I thought staying at home with nothing much to do but read and watch movies all day was my idea of Heaven. And while I still do (to a certain degree) – the kids and I are going a tad stir-crazy. Just like everybody else. We’ve been watching a movie per…
I took note of this one from Real Simple magazine years ago but never made it until now. It was a quick and easy one to throw together for a weeknight dinner which is why I’m passing it on. Two of my three kids loved it – surprisingly the one who wasn’t crazy about the…
This movie is a modern twist on the classic. Featuring horror elements well-blended with suspense and a couple of shocking scenes thrown into the mix – I was riveted. Sure – the story could have been a bit tighter – but I found this movie entertaining and enjoyable to watch. Tanya’s Score: Good* Rated: 18A…
