My friend Sandra passed this recipe on to me — it was simple and delicious to make. The original recipe is from The Happy Foodie but I made a few tweaks to it. And because I let it simmer for the afternoon, it got a tad mushy – but it tasted just as good and…
It was Saturday – late morning – I was neck deep in dirty laundry and the riveting Netflix show The Stranger. Only one episode left and it would all make sense . . . hopefully. My daughters needed (read: wanted) to go to the mall. One needed (read: wanted) new shoes and the other needed…
Another awesome find thanks to my good friend Melanie. All I can say is that my recipe books are literally filled with simple yet amazing recipes courtesy of Mel. Originally found on My Food And Family, I made a few slight changes to it. My kids loved it – even the tomato-hater. I’ll definitely be…
Not everyone is lucky enough to experience the wonder of time travel. But I get to – every time I visit my parents. First of all, they still live in my childhood home and second of all – my old bedroom walls are the way I left them more than 20 years ago: covered in…
This tasty meal was sent to me by Cousin Sarah and originates from Allrecipes. I made a few minor changes to it and served it up for Sunday dinner. Everyone gobbled it up except for one child – who said it was “just okay” and fiddled around with it before eventually eating it up. It…
Another best picture nominee for this year’s upcoming Oscars. With the steep competition this time around, I doubt it will win – but the movie was still a great one nonetheless. Gerwig made it her own but it’s still the classic I know and love. Tanya’s Score: Great* Rated: PG Starring: Ladybird, Hermione, Saul Goodman…
On a dark and cold winter’s night, I can think of other things I’d rather be doing than shivering on a frigid bench in a musty arena with the unflattering glare of overhead lights shining down upon me. Come summertime, nothing makes a long, lazy day even longer than having to sit on uncomfortable bleachers…
I found this one in the Toronto Star a while back. It is quick and easy to throw together – and I leave it simmering on the stove until dinner time. The kids love it. Enjoy. Ingredients: olive oil skinless, boneless chicken thighs (enough to fill a large skillet – I use about 15 or…
In the words of Parasite director Bong Joon Ho: “Once you overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.” Truer words have never been spoken. This movie is unique and darkly entertaining and if you skip it because it’s in a foreign language – you just…
This soup recipe originally hails from the Toronto Star – but I somehow missed it. Luckily my mother-in-law made it for me and then passed along the recipe (to which I’ve made a few minor tweaks). I made it for dinner along with some cheddar biscuits and everyone licked their plates clean – my youngest…
