Sloppy Joe Stuffed Buns

The recipe I’m sharing with you today is one I’ve been making for many years, and it’s a family favourite.  Whenever I announce that we’re having sloppy joe stuffed buns for dinner, there’s a lot of cheering, fist-pumping, and exclaims of “YES!” from the whole family.  So why have I waited this long to post it, you ask? Let me tell you,…

Balsamic Maple Pork Tenderloin #MOLOmonday

It’s been a glorious summer, and although I’m a little sad to see it coming to an end, I really love the fall with all its colorful foliage, cozy sweaters, and warm mugs of pumpkin spice lattes. But before I jump into fall, it’s nice to take advantage of the remnants of good weather we have left. We’re…

Coconut Adobo Macaroni Salad

Summer is starting to wind down (booo), but there’s still time to have a few more barbecues and picnics this season before fall comes.  When I’m looking for a good side-dish, I love a good macaroni salad. It goes well with just about any barbecued meats, hot dogs, hamburgers, or sandwiches. The good old standard macaroni salad is great,…

Slow Cooker Butter Chicken #MOLOmonday

Butter Chicken is probably my favourite Indian dish. The kids even like it, because it’s not too spicy, as some Indian food can be. I make it with mild curry so it’s totally manageable for them. The best part is that it’s very simple and easy to make, especially when you use a slow cooker. Yes!…

Crockpot Caramelized Onions

Caramelized onions are pretty fantastic. They add a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavours to just about anything, like quesadillas, grilled cheese sandwiches, pizza, eggs, grilled meat, pasta sauce, hamburgers…whatever you want! They take your food to a whole new level. But they can be tricky and time-consuming to make, because they usually require a lot of…

Mango Chili Pork Tenderloin

  Grilling season is upon us, and I’d love nothing more than to sit out in the sun with a cold drink while grilling up a tasty dinner for us. Unfortunately, we have no deck. Tony tore it down last spring, with plans to replace it over the summer, but due to unforeseen circumstances —…

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…

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…

Gluten-Free Spaghetti Quiche

I don’t have a problem with gluten – in fact, I love the chewy texture that it gives to dough – but if you happen to have an intolerance to gluten, it can often be challenging to find gluten-free products that have a nice texture and taste. My mom has a sensitivity to gluten, so she knows this…
