This recipe is a spin on an old family favourite, Gnocchi and Chickpea Skillet Dinner. I love to combine gnocchi in a skillet with whatever veggies and protein I happen to have on hand. In the original post, it happened to be chickpeas, mushrooms, broccoli, and a little bit of turkey bacon. This time I…

The Best Meatball Subs
OK, now I don’t want to start any fights over whose meatballs subs are actually the best. You may say your Grandma’s are the best, or the ones at your favourite restaurant down the street are the best, and who am I to argue with that? All I mean when I say these are “The…
Deconstructed Minestrone Soup
I know that my last post was about soup (a very scrumptious tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons, by the way), but this one is so much more than just a soup. It’s deconstructed soup. I’ve seen a few bloggers playing around with this idea, and I absolutely love it. Food Bloggers of Canada…
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…
Spaghetti with Turkey Sausage & Kale {Catelli Giveaway}
If I could only keep one thing in my pantry, it would definitely be pasta. You can stock up on it without worrying about it going bad, it’s quick and versatile to cook with, and we all love eating it. Yay for pasta! I was really excited to be invited to attend a “virtual” cooking class by Chef Lynn…
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…
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…
Skillet Lasagna
My family is weird. None of them like lasagna. I can’t even believe that I’m related to any of those crazies. I mean, what is there not to like about lasagna? It’s just layers upon layers of noodles, delicious sauce, and don’t forget all that melty cheese. I love pretty much everything about lasagna, except for the time and…
Spinach and Pesto Tortellini
I hesitate to even call this a recipe because it’s embarrassingly simple. The fact is that sometimes you need simple. There are nights when I just don’t have the energy to think about making dinner. This meal is perfect for those kind of nights. I usually buy tortellini when it goes on sale and keep…
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…
