I’d have to say that pizza is my most favourite food. There are just so many possibilities for toppings and crusts that it never gets boring. If you have picky eaters like mine, you can let them build their own pizzas so everyone gets exactly what they want. I like to include a pizza night…

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…
Curried Cauliflower Lentil Soup
Yes, another soup recipe! Clearly, I’m obsessed with soup lately. I’m sorry, I can’t help it. There’s just something so comforting about a big bowl of hot soup. I’ve been experimenting with this particular recipe for Curried Cauliflower Lentil Soup for a while now, testing it until I perfected it. Although my kids may disagree, I think I’ve come up…
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…
Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons
My baby turned 3 last weekend. THREE! I guess she’s really not a baby anymore, especially since she recently decided she’s done with diapers. Just like that, she switched to wearing underwear and using the potty, and hasn’t looked back. I’m thrilled to never have to change a diaper again, but also a little sad…
How to Freeze and Reheat Cooked Rice for Quick Meals
You know those evenings when you wish you could just have food magically appear on the table? I have a lot of those evenings. Sometimes I need something lightning fast to eat while rushing from work to soccer practice, or when I’m working late at the office, or when I just want to wind down…
Crockpot Mongolian Beef
Sometimes after a busy day when we just want to relax, our family likes to watch a movie together and eat Chinese food. It’s the one time we let the kids eat in the living room instead of at the dining room table. We have a big round coffee table in the middle of our living room where I set…
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…
Pulled Pork #MOLOmonday
If this is your first time visiting a MOLO post on Food & Whine, you’re in for a treat. On the first Monday of each month, I share creative ways to use up your leftovers. This time, I started off with an easy pulled pork that I cooked all day in the slow cooker. The first night, I made pulled…
