Another winning recipe found within the pages of the Toronto Star – this one from February. Full disclosure – three of us LOVED this dish (yours truly included) and two weren’t crazy about the fish and the tomato sauce – but one thing we all agreed on: the Mexican-style rice is to die for. Even…
My friend Sandra swears by this recipe for homemade granola bars originally found at Inspired Taste. I made a few changes and I won’t lie – it took me a couple of tries to get it right. My kids weren’t crazy about the dried cranberries and sunflower seeds I put in the first batch AND…
This recipe hails from my friend Michelle who claimed it as a surefire way to get the kiddies to shovel Brussels sprouts into their mouths like there’s no tomorrow. I’m happy to report that the initial claim is true. But do not make the fatal mistake that I did – and tell the kids (before…
My friend Melanie passed this one on to me last year – and it’s a family hit over here. It’s an easy dish to put together earlier in the day and then throw in the oven an hour before supper. I served it over rice and froze some of the leftovers. Enjoy! Ingredients: 4 boneless,…
I came across this recipe on a blog I follow called Insecure Housewife. I’m always on the lookout for quick and easy homemade snacks to have on hand – for the kids, for entertaining. So I gave these a try. Not only were they relatively quick and simple to make – but they only require…
Found this one in a recent edition of the Toronto Star and waited until I had time on the weekend to put it together. It’s not one of those make-it-ahead-of-time sort of dishes – but that said – it still didn’t take all that much effort to make. I made a few changes in order…
Another awesome recipe from my friend Cathy — she’s the mother of three, including two hungry teen boys so when it comes to delicious casseroles, she knows what she’s doing. Based on the Taco Fiesta Bubble Up Casserole found at Drizzle Me Skinny, I made a few changes and the finished result was eagerly gobbled…
Another gem mouldering in my hand-written recipe book – origins unknown. I guess I’ve been in a pasta casserole sort of mood as of late. But hey – anything that I can throw together and forget about is a definite winner over here! Can’t say if it freezes well – we never have leftovers from…
I’m not sure where this recipe came from – but it’s been a part of my cooking repertoire for at least the past ten years or so. It’s a quick and easy version of beef stroganoff that I often put together in the morning, leave in the oven on a timed bake and then throw…
Long ago when I actually got paid to work, I picked this recipe up from a co-worker of mine. It has served me well ever since. The recipe below will make roughly 25 to 30 tortilla wraps worth – I keep them in my deep freezer wrapped up in a lasagna dish. Then I simply…
