Pork Picadillo Wraps

Several months ago, I had the opportunity to attend a cooking class at Well Seasoned in Langley BC on how to cook perfect pork, featuring Johnston’s Local Quality BC Pork.  Along with other local bloggers and foodies in media, I sipped Narrative wine while watching Angie Quaale from Well Seasoned prepare delicious pork dishes for us all to sample….

Smoky Corn Chowder

We’ve been pretty lucky here in BC to have beautiful spring-like weather lately. We took our boat out on the water this weekend, and I felt a little bad posting photos of our outing while the rest of Canada is immersed in snow.   Took our boat out on the water this afternoon. What a…

Easy Skillet Chicken Parmesan

While I share a lot of slow-cooker recipes on this blog, I also like to feature easy meals that you can put together quickly at the end of the day, because I know not everyone has the time or forethought to put something in the crockpot in the morning.  A lot of the time, I just…

Marshmallow Pops for Valentine’s Day

February is a pretty special month.  Not only is it the month of Valentine’s Day, it’s also the month of my daughter’s birthday, and the anniversary of when I met my husband. Coincidentally, Ayla’s due-date fell on the actual day of our anniversary, which I thought was kind of neat.  This year, I’ll have known Tony…

Whole Chicken in a Crockpot #MOLOmonday

If you love your crockpot like I do, this is a perfect way use it to its full potential. On this MOLO Monday, I’m showing you two meals made in the crockpot using one whole chicken.  This is actually from a post that I wrote back in 2010, but it remains one of my most…

Monterey Chicken Fajitas

It’s been a busy month so far, as we’re trying to settle back into routine after the holidays.  Cole is taking guitar lessons, both boys are in skating lessons, and I’m taking yoga. It’s been hard to get out of holiday mode, and many nights I just don’t feel like spending much time in the kitchen. I want…

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…

Roast Beef Fajitas #MOLOmonday

In my last post, I took a look back at the top recipes of 2014, and Slow Cooker Roast Beef was the #1 most popular post of the year.  I can understand why, because it’s such a simple recipe (only 5 ingredients!) with incredibly tender meat and rich flavourful gravy.  We have it quite often in our house….

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…

Vegan Sugar-Free Truffles {NuNaturals Giveaway}

  Everyone deserves a treat around the holidays, even those of us who can’t indulge the way we want to. I know what that’s like, because a couple Christmases ago, I had gestational diabetes, so I had to stay away from sugar and anything else that was high in carbs.   That’s tough to do at any…
