Do you ever just stare into the fridge, waiting for dinner inspiration to magically hit? I like a good meal plan, but the reality is I often fall short of implementing one to its fullest potential. Sometimes the day has a shift in plans, or I forget to take my meat from the freezer. …… Continue reading creamy mushroom and spinach pasta
Fall means pumpkin everything. Amiright? I do believe I like fall for pumpkin-time as much as breaking-out-the-cardigans-time. And that’s saying something, because I do love me my cardigans and boots (I refuse to reveal the number of cardigans and boots I may own). The problem with baking, though, is that the recipes are often full of…… Continue reading healthy pumpkin muffins: gluten free, dairy free & refined sugar free
When I found this recipe on Pinterest, I didn’t realize it would be life altering. These rolls are light and fluffy, super yummy and best of all are done in under 2 hours! Yes, that’s right. Two hours. You’re welcome. Anytime I’ve served them, they’ve gotten rave reviews. My Love can’t resist sneaking one…… Continue reading easiest ever rolls
I miss having a garden of my own. It’s particularly sad because there’s nothing better than beans or tomatoes fresh from the garden. Thankfully, we have a local farmer who sells lovely produce from his garage at the best prices in town. As we were driving near his home one day we decided to stop…… Continue reading farm fresh balsamic beans
My Love recently went to our local fisherman’s co-op and brought home a new-to-us kind of fish–hake. It was fresh and reasonably priced. If silver hake is new to you, as well, it is described as “a close relative of the cod” by thisfish.info. Because I’d never cooked this particular fish before, I was unsure…… Continue reading what the hake?
Gluten-free? Check. Dairy-free? Check. Yesterday, we had some guests over that have some dietary restrictions. I don’t mind cooking this way as it is not entirely new to me. My dairy-free girl’s diet is, well, dairy free. She has a very sensitive tummy and we have tried to determine the underlying issues with the…… Continue reading no bake chocolate cookies
Lobster leftovers. Akin to bacon leftovers. Or cheesecake. As mentioned before (here and here), we like to cook more than we need for a meal. That’s the only way we have leftovers for rolls or sandwiches, and chowder. I believe I may need to try one of those delicious pasta recipes, as well. On the menu…… Continue reading lobster leftovers…no really
Since we began traveling to the east coast, we have been on a quest for the best cup of seafood chowder. There have been many tasty samples along the way, but I think our favourite, as yet, has been the offering from the Water-Prince Corner Shop in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. I believe we first heard…… Continue reading soup’s on ~ chowdah
Am I the only one who thinks of this jingle from back in the day? https://youtu.be/tzY7qQFij_M Let’s take a stroll down memory lane, shall we? Christmas time. Television ads capturing the hearts of children and the wallets of their parents. Remember Slinky, the wonderful toy song? “Batteries not included” caveats? The game of Trouble with the fancy pop-o-matic…… Continue reading cha-cha-cha-chia
If you’ve read my past posts, you’ll know that I’m 0 for 2 in my almond milk yogurt making game (see this post). My dairy-free girl was over the moon to find a reasonably priced yogurt maker on Amazon (this one, in case you were wondering), so she could once again enjoy one of her…… Continue reading win! almond milk yogurt success…finally
