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…
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…
