My boys and husband are real meat and potatoes guys. They tend to prefer simple meals rather than complicated culinary masterpieces, which works out well for me when trying to prepare a quick meal that everyone will like. Basically anything with meat and potatoes is sure to win them over. Cottage pie combines the two…

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…
Spanish Rice #MOLOmonday
I have to say, I really look forward to writing these MOLO posts each month. I love getting creative with leftovers, and I get so excited when I stumble upon something exceptionally good that I can’t wait to share. When I made this Spanish Rice, inspired by Lil’ Luna’s recipe, I knew it would be…
Easy Chicken & Broccoli Divan
Well, we’ve made it through the first week of spring break! Just one more week to go! I did my best to keep the kids occupied, but I had to work (I have a home office), so they had to entertain themselves a lot of the time. And that’s not a bad thing – it gave…
Salmon, Asparagus & Rice Casserole #MOLOmonday
This post is going to be the beginning of a new series of posts called MOLO Monday. On the first Monday of each month, I’ll be sharing a basic meal with creative ways of making over the leftovers into a brand new meal. This is a really great way to save money, time, and reduce wasted food. If you like…
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…
Chicken Pot Pie {No Condensed Soup}
A few years back I posted a recipe for Lazy Chicken Pot Pie. It was a really simple and tasty dinner, but the one thing that always bugged me about it was that it used condensed cream of mushroom soup. Condensed soups are full of sodium and they’re so easy to substitute “cream of…soup” with…
Tomato Soup Mac and Cheese
Sometimes you just need some good ol’ comfort food, and this tomato soup mac & cheese is the ultimate comfort food. It’s mac & cheese bumped up a notch with the addition of canned tomato soup. I generally avoid condensed soups but I couldn’t resist giving this a try. I saw it on Pinterest…
Sweet Potato Gardener’s Pie
I’m part of a 7book club, but I think it should really be called an eating club because it’s the food more than the books that make our meetings memorable. Last month we read Gone Girl (I loved it!), and our food theme was pub fare. I knew there would be a lot of deliciously…
No-Noodle Zucchini Lasagna
I’m approaching my final month of pregnancy, which will also be my final month dealing with gestational diabetes. I’ve been blogging about it at GD Diaries if you’re interested in reading more about my experiences as a gestational diabetic. I’ve had it with all three of my pregnancies, and although it goes away after the…
