Easy Skillet Chicken Parmesan

While I share a lot of slow-cooker recipes on this blog, I also like to feature easy meals that you can put together quickly at the end of the day, because I know not everyone has the time or forethought to put something in the crockpot in the morning.  A lot of the time, I just…

Monterey Chicken Fajitas

It’s been a busy month so far, as we’re trying to settle back into routine after the holidays.  Cole is taking guitar lessons, both boys are in skating lessons, and I’m taking yoga. It’s been hard to get out of holiday mode, and many nights I just don’t feel like spending much time in the kitchen. I want…

Kare Kare Toasted Peanut Salmon {Pulo Cuisine Giveaway}

  I love salmon, especially when Tony brings it home from one of his “business” trips. I suspect these trips are more of an excuse for guys to get together and fish than to actually conduct any business, but I don’t mind as long as I get some gorgeous fresh salmon out of it. The…

What Kind of Kitchen Clean-up Rockstar are you?

It’s the start of a new year! I like to think of it as a good time to start fresh and give the house a good cleaning. Tony had some time off over the holidays, and all of us pitched in to clean the house top to bottom. We de-cluttered, getting rid of a lot of stuff…

Leftover Turkey Sloppy Joes

  Now that the chaos of Christmas is over with, I just want to relax and enjoy some quick and simple meals.  Luckily, there are lots of leftovers to make meals a little easier. If you had turkey for Christmas dinner, you probably have some leftover turkey that you don’t know what do to with.  Well, I…

Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce

Oh yes! Two of my favourite things in one post: spaghetti and slow cookers.  We eat spaghetti quite often, and I also cook with my slow cooker a lot, so I’m surprised I’ve never shared a recipe for slow cooker spaghetti sauce before now. What I love about this particular recipe from Cook with Campbells…

Mango Chili Sweet & Sour Meatballs

You might remember that I blogged about Chicken and Mango Flatbread not too long ago, using Pulo Cuisine sauces and marinades to create a unique recipe.  That post was my submission to Pulo Recipe Challenge from Food Bloggers of Canada.  There were so many incredible recipe submissions, so I know it must have been really tough to select…

Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo

There’s one vegetable that my kids will always eat, and that’s broccoli. Other veggies can be hit and miss, but broccoli never fails to entice all three of my children. I don’t really know why that is, and frankly I don’t really care, I’m just happy they actually like something so healthy.  Because of my…

Back to School Snacks #DarePeanutFree {Giveaway}

Both my boys are in elementary school (or they will be, once the strike ends!) and my daughter is in daycare full-time, so that means there are three lunches to pack every weekday. The boys are actually really good at packing their own lunches now, but they still need ideas from me, and sometimes I struggle with…
