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.…
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,…
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…
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.…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
