Summer is starting to wind down (booo), but there’s still time to have a few more barbecues and picnics this season before fall comes. When I’m looking for a good side-dish, I love a good macaroni salad. It goes well with just about any barbecued meats, hot dogs, hamburgers, or sandwiches. The good old standard macaroni salad is great,…
The Canning Kitchen: Cookbook Review and Giveaway
I remember when I was a little girl, my mother did a lot of canning. I remember jars of juicy peaches, crunchy dill pickles, and endless varieties of jams. I remember the huge canning pot rumbling with boiling water on the stovetop, and the satisfying sound of popping lids on the jars as they cooled on the counter. Best of all,…
Design Your Own Cereal: mixit.ca Review & Giveaway
Have you ever eaten cereal from a box and thought, “This is pretty good, but I bet it would be even better with a little bit of this and maybe a little less of that…” Wouldn’t it be great if you could customize your cereal exactly the way you like it? Well now you can…
Slow Cooker Butter Chicken #MOLOmonday
Butter Chicken is probably my favourite Indian dish. The kids even like it, because it’s not too spicy, as some Indian food can be. I make it with mild curry so it’s totally manageable for them. The best part is that it’s very simple and easy to make, especially when you use a slow cooker. Yes!…
Chocolate Banana Loaf
I know this isn’t the first time I’ve posted a recipe with chocolate and bananas (like Chocolate Banana Oatmeal Cookies, Chocolate Banana Ice Cream, and Banana Maple Brownies) but I just can’t help myself! It’s one of my favourite flavour combinations. Bananas make this loaf nice and moist, while the cocoa powder makes it a little more…
Crockpot Caramelized Onions
Caramelized onions are pretty fantastic. They add a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavours to just about anything, like quesadillas, grilled cheese sandwiches, pizza, eggs, grilled meat, pasta sauce, hamburgers…whatever you want! They take your food to a whole new level. But they can be tricky and time-consuming to make, because they usually require a lot of…
Mango Chili Pork Tenderloin
Grilling season is upon us, and I’d love nothing more than to sit out in the sun with a cold drink while grilling up a tasty dinner for us. Unfortunately, we have no deck. Tony tore it down last spring, with plans to replace it over the summer, but due to unforeseen circumstances —…
RV Camping Food {Stuck on You Giveaway}
I admit, I’m not much of a camper. I don’t enjoy sleep on the ground in a tent with no electricity or running water, especially when I have small children with me. Camping is not for me, but “glamping,” on the other hand, is actually pretty fun. I get to enjoy the outdoors, with campfires,…
Mushroom Meat Sauce #MOLOmonday
June is here! It’s the last month of school, and it feels like we’re all running out of steam as we approach the end of the school year. It’s getting harder to think of creative ideas for snacks and meals. It’s times like these that I like to return to the basics, to remember the…
Cauliflower Cheeseburger Casserole
I was browsing through the produce section at the grocery store the other day when I spotted beautifully vibrant purple and orange cauliflower. I practically swooned. I know, it’s a little weird that I get so excited about oddly coloured produce, but hey, that’s me. After staring at them for a while, like the crazy food-obsessed blogger…
