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,…

Spaghetti with Turkey Sausage & Kale {Catelli Giveaway}
If I could only keep one thing in my pantry, it would definitely be pasta. You can stock up on it without worrying about it going bad, it’s quick and versatile to cook with, and we all love eating it. Yay for pasta! I was really excited to be invited to attend a “virtual” cooking class by Chef Lynn…
Leftover Turkey Sloppy Joes
Now that the chaos of Christmas is over with, I just want to relax and enjoy some quick and simple meals. Luckily, there are lots of leftovers to make meals a little easier. If you had turkey for Christmas dinner, you probably have some leftover turkey that you don’t know what do to with. Well, I…
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…
Turkey Meatball Curry
I love the combination of curry and coconut milk. The heat from the curry and the cooling creaminess of the coconut milk pair so well together. My kids hate anything spicy, so I don’t add a lot of curry, but I think it’s important for them to try different spices, even if it’s just a little…
Butternut Squash and Bacon Penne
With all the sweets and rich food we’ve enjoyed over the holidays now behind us and a fresh new year ahead of us, it’s a good time to start eating lighter foods. It’s not always easy to make that transition, but this pasta can help. It tastes so good that you’ll think it should be…
Tips for Stress-Free Holiday Meals
I remember the first Thanksgiving meal that I ever prepared by myself. This would have been about 10 years ago, when I was newly married and didn’t know my way around the kitchen very well yet. I had helped my mom prepare turkey dinners before, and she wrote directions down for me on recipe…
Crockpot Gyros
An authentic gyro is roasted in a vertical spit, but this crockpot version is a great homemade alternative to the real thing. I discovered this recipe through Pinterest at Rainy Day Gal. Her recipe is an adaptation of one by A Year of Slow Cooking. I couldn’t find ground lamb, so I used beef instead….
Creamy Gnocchi Soup
My children seem to be more excited about Mother’s Day this year than I am. They’re so excited that they have trouble keeping their surprises for me a secret. Bennett burst out of his preschool on Friday with a Mother’s Day gift in his hot little hands. As soon as we got to the van,…
Lentil and Kale Soup
As the weather grows colder I start to crave hot, hearty, comforting soups for dinner. This lentil and kale soup hits the spot. I love the smoky flavour from the bacon and smoked paprika. I also love that it’s so nutritious and full for fibre (8 grams per serving!). Bennett gobbled it up and Cole seemed…
