Raise your hand if you love Taco Tuesdays! Ever since the Lego Movie came out, Bennett gets excited when we have tacos on a Tuesday, but there’s never really a bad day for tacos, is there? I love having them on weeknights because they’re so quick — I just set out all the ingredients and everyone makes their…

You-Choose Chili
I’ve put a great deal of thought into meal-planning over the years, and I’ve come to the conclusion that (for me, at least) the best method of meal-planning is to create a list of meal ideas. They’re not necessarily recipes, just general guidelines on what to make for dinner each night. So Monday might be…
Cincinnati Chili
It was a rainy, cold Saturday when I made this Cincinnati chili. It rained so hard that Bennett’s soccer game was cancelled. And that’s saying a lot, because normally they play “rain or shine” — which actually means mostly rain, seeing as we are on the west coast of Canada. And you’d think I’d be unfazed by the rain by…
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…
Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas
We’re starting to see a lot more sunny days now that April has rolled around, which means we all want to spend more time outside and less time in the kitchen. I find myself gravitating towards recipes that I can make quickly without even turning on the oven. These Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas from Cook with…
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…
Roast Beef Fajitas #MOLOmonday
In my last post, I took a look back at the top recipes of 2014, and Slow Cooker Roast Beef was the #1 most popular post of the year. I can understand why, because it’s such a simple recipe (only 5 ingredients!) with incredibly tender meat and rich flavourful gravy. We have it quite often in our house….
Turkey Enchilada Pasta
Mexican food has got to be my favourite food. No wait – make that Italian food – because I love pasta so much. It’s just too hard to decide…or it was, until I had this enchilada pasta. It’s the best of both worlds! This is a great weeknight one-pot meal. It’s easy to make, and with turkey and shredded…
Mexican Chicken and Corn {Lettuce Wraps or Tacos}
I hate wasting good leftovers, so I’m always looking for creative ways to turn leftover food into something new and delicious. In my last post, you saw how I made corn on the cob in the oven (yum!). Now here’s a great recipe idea to use up any leftover corn you may have. If you also baked…
5 Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas
It seems like homemade gifts are all the rage right now. I admit, I’m jumping on board with this fun DIY trend this holiday season. I’m not very crafty, but I like making food, so my homemade gifts are all food-related. So far I’ve made muffin mix, soup mix, dip mix, spice blends, and sweets….
