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…
Slow-Cooker Roast Beef
Ever since I was a child, one of my favourite Sunday dinners has been roast beef. On Sundays when we’re home in the afternoon, I’ll roast the beef in the oven. A lot of times, though, we go out on Sundays to spend time together as a family. On those Sundays, I often cook a…
Hawaiian Meatballs
We’re thinking about going to Hawaii for a family vacation this summer. Tony and I used to travel to there a lot before we had kids. He works for an airline so we get standby passes for pretty cheap. We were young and adventurous with no parental responsibilities, so it was easy to take a…
Crockpot Gyros
An authentic gyro is roasted in a vertical spit, but this crockpot version is a great homemade alternative to the real thing. I discovered this recipe through Pinterest at Rainy Day Gal. Her recipe is an adaptation of one by A Year of Slow Cooking. I couldn’t find ground lamb, so I used beef instead….
Beef and Bean Oven Tacos
Since the Easy Fish Tacos went over so well in our household, I decided to try more taco recipes. Oven tacos sounded like a great idea and I was eager to try them. They did not disappoint! Or at least, they did not disappoint Tony or me. The boys were a different story. I think…
Greek Meatloaf in Muffin Tins
When I was a kid I used to hate meatloaf. My mom would try preparing it different ways, or serving it with ketchup, or putting it in a bun like a hamburger, but I just had it in my head that I didn’t like it and nothing could convince me otherwise. I was a pretty…
Cheese-Stuffed Meatballs
It’s funny that out of the huge variety of meals that I’ve cooked, it’s still good old spaghetti that the kids will most often request. It’s a request that I’m more than happy to fulfill, since I’m a big lover of spaghetti myself. If we’re in a rush, I just pour plain pasta sauce over the noodles, but…
Pumpkin Enchiladas
Pumpkins are so versatile. They taste great in sweet baked goods, but they’re also wonderful in savoury meals such as this enchilada recipe. I’ve seen many versions of pumpkin echiladas floating around Pinterest, and they inspired me to make my own. They take a bit of work, but they are so worth it! I think they make a great Saturday night…
