Asian Noodle Soup (Instant Pot) A couple months ago, I finally bought one of those Instant Pots that everyone is raving about. When we were doing our kitchen renovations, I was a little overzealous in purging kitchen items, and I ended up accidentally getting rid of the lid of my slow-cooker. It wasn’t a great…

Cedar Plank Salmon with Moroccan Spice Rub
Cedar Plank Salmon with Moroccan Spice Rub I’ve been hearing about how good salmon is when cooked on a cedar plank for some time now, but I only recently gave it a try for myself. I was in Safeway and I happened to notice a nice pink slab of salmon stretched out on a cedar plank…
Kare Kare Toasted Peanut Salmon {Pulo Cuisine Giveaway}
I love salmon, especially when Tony brings it home from one of his “business” trips. I suspect these trips are more of an excuse for guys to get together and fish than to actually conduct any business, but I don’t mind as long as I get some gorgeous fresh salmon out of it. The…
Salmon, Asparagus & Rice Casserole #MOLOmonday
This post is going to be the beginning of a new series of posts called MOLO Monday. On the first Monday of each month, I’ll be sharing a basic meal with creative ways of making over the leftovers into a brand new meal. This is a really great way to save money, time, and reduce wasted food. If you like…
Salmon Burgers #FlavourStory {Giveaway}
One of my favourite memories so far this summer was when the boys caught their very first fish. It was such a thrill for them to feel the tug on the end of the line as the fish grabbed hold of the bait. They were totally enthralled as the fisherman showed them how to reel…
Grilled Shrimp with Mixed Greens and Maple Vinaigrette #FlavourStory
With the weather heating up, it’s the perfect time to heat up the grill and give the oven a break. It also feels like a break for me when I get to spend time outside on the deck, enjoying the sunshine while grilling a delicious summer meal (or better yet, when Tony does the grilling!). Sadly, we have…
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…
Wonton Soup
I love pretty much all types of dumplings. Whether they’re wontons, gyozas, empanadas, samosas or perogies, I love biting into carblicious dough to uncover the yummy fillings hiding inside them. Not only are they fun to eat, they’re also fun to make. The kids loved helping me make these wontons for our wonton soup. It was surprisingly easy to…
Thai Coconut Shrimp Soup
Sometimes I feel like making something a little more exotic than the usual vegetable or chicken soup. I thought a Thai soup would liven things up. Cole had been leafing through my collection of cookbooks and was particularly interested in the recipes with shrimp, so I had bought a package of frozen shrimp for him. This…
Creamy Broccoli and Seafood Pasta
I’m writing this as my husband prepares to watch the Stanley Cup finals, game 7 between the Canucks and the Bruins. This is a very special day for him, a day he’s been waiting for since he was a boy. Oh yeah, it also happens to be our 9th wedding anniversary. Needless to say, we’ll be spending…
