As you may have guessed by my lack of blog posts lately, this month has been crazy busy so far. The boys were both born in September, and now that they’re older and have their own sets of friends, they want their own separate birthday parties. My family also wanted to celebrate their birthdays with…

Cheesy Mexican Rice and Beans
This recipe is inspired by Kevin & Amanda’s Cheesy Chicken Bacon Broccoli and Rice. I love the idea of adding cheese sauce into the rice for an incredibly creamy, extra cheesy dish. Instead of chicken and broccoli, I’ve used green peppers and black beans. It’s similar to a family favourite of ours, Mexican Rice and…
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…
Quick and Easy Fish Tacos
With a new baby keeping me busy, I’ve had to find ways to save time in the kitchen. The first step was to be as organized as possible with the initial meal planning and grocery shopping. On Friday nights at dinner, we decide as a family what meals we’re going to have for the following…
Vegetable Chili
I don’t know about you but after all the delicious and fattening food I had over the holidays, I’ve been craving veggies in a big way. This chili, being packed full of vegetables, really hit the spot. Tony and the boys loved it too. It was easy to tell, because all three of them polished off…
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…
Mexican Chicken Crockpot Soup
I can’t get enough of Mexican food. I could probably eat Mexican meals every night of the week and not get bored. Probably the only thing I love as much as Mexican food is slow cooked food, so a recipe that combines these two things is sure to be an instant favourite with me. We’ve been eating a…
Mexican Pizza
I love pizza, because it gives me a chance to be creative and imprecise. You don’t need to measure everything perfectly, and it’s okay if you don’t have all the right ingredients. Basically you just need the dough, and something tasty to put on top of it. For pizza toppings, I often use whatever I have in my…
Black Bean and Yam Enchiladas
Black beans. Yams. Whenever I see these two ingredients together in a recipe I swoon. I love them both on their own, but when they’re together it’s a beautiful thing. I usually put black beans in my enchiladas, that’s nothing new (see Chicken and Black Bean Enchiladas and Black Bean and Sausage Enchilada Casserole), but I…
Mexican Cornbread Strata
The thing about cornbread is it doesn’t keep very well. It really tastes best when you eat it warm out of the oven, and then nobody in my house seems to want anything to do with it after that. So there it sat in my fridge, the once loved cornbread that was now sadly unwanted….
