This recipe reminds me of one of the very first recipes I posted on this blog over 4 years ago, Turkey Kielbasa and Lentil Stew. That one was a crockpot recipe, while this new version is a quick weeknight recipe you can make on your stovetop. Cole really liked this one! His plate was empty…

Healthy Banana Oat Squares
I’m not sure where the recipe originated for these squares, but I came across it on Facebook. I shared it on my facebook page and then gave it a try for myself with a few minor changes, which I’ll share with you here. They were a big hit, especially with Ayla. They make such a…
Lasagna-Style Quinoa with Kale
It’s a brand new year, which is always a great time to start eating healthier. There are certain foods out there, known as ‘superfoods,’ that are packed full of nutrients and anti-oxidants to help keep you healthy. Quinoa and kale are two of these amazing foods, so I combined them in this lasagna-like casserole. It’s…
Slow Cooker Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup
When the weather gets colder, I start to crave soup. There’s nothing better than a warm belly full of soup on a blustery day. I love making soup in the slow cooker earlier in the day so we can come home after being out in the cold to the comforting aroma of soup and dig…
Roast Chicken Thighs with Fennel and Lemon
Fall can be a busy time of year for many of us with children going back to school and starting activities. Dinner becomes a rushed affair, leaving us stressed out as we try to come up with simple and fast meal ideas. Chicken is my go-to meal idea during these busy times. When Tony asks…
Cheesy Spaghetti Squash with Marinara Sauce
I’ve always been intrigued by spaghetti squash, even as a kid. I thought it was pretty neat that a squash could turn into spaghetti-like strands. Back then I didn’t think much about the fact that it was good for me too, but now it’s one of the main reasons I like to cook spaghetti…
Pesto Chicken Kabobs
Kabobs are one of my favourite things to grill on the barbecue. They’re simple to make, they taste delicious, and they look beautiful too. They’re the perfect thing to serve when company comes over on a summer evening. THE WHINE CRITICS Again with the so-so gesture! This time Cole said it was because he liked…
Summertime Salsa
Summer is the time for barbecues, picnics, pool parties, cookouts on the beach, and sitting out on the patio visiting with friends and relatives. These are all perfect opportunities to make a big batch of salsa for everyone to enjoy. I tried out this Corn and Queso Salsa from Life Made Delicious, but decided that…
All But Gluten. It’s all good.
I was recently given the opportunity to sample a couple of All But Gluten products. Although I’m not on a gluten-free diet myself, my mom has a gluten sensitivity so she avoids gluten whenever possible. When she comes to visit I try to have gluten-free foods for her. I’m always impressed with the amount of…
Vegetable Lentil Curry
I should really make curry more often. It’s the perfect weeknight meal because it’s fast and easy to make on your stove-top, and you can pretty much use whatever is in your fridge or pantry. And of course let’s not forget that it tastes so good! My kids are not spicy food fans, so I…
