I’ve been sharing some older Easter posts. This is a re-post from April, 2017. I’ve been mixing up a few treats for the weekend activities. There was a wonderful Good Friday concert at our sending church last night. What an amazing evening with a beautiful group who loves Jesus. We listened to several talented musicians and we…… Continue reading easter treats
If you’ve spent any time around here, you know how much I enjoy a comforting and nourishing bowl of soup. Soup is one of life’s perfect solutions. Bits of this and that in your vegetable crisper? Make soup. Leftover chicken, turkey or beef? Make soup. Ham bone? Soup. Beets in season? More soup. Giant package…… Continue reading soup’s on ~ potato soup
Ever have ‘one of those days’? You know the kind…from the moment you get outta bed, things just go decidedly wrong. As I went to get dressed this morning, I put on a top. Inside out. Turned it right-side out. Backward. Turned it around. Ugh…I don’t like this top. On to another. I just knew…… Continue reading kitchen mishaps
I like to use my crockpot on Sundays as much as possible. I can prep some of the ingredients the night before, and the slow cooker does all the real work. Stew is one of my favourite things to make this way. The wonderful thing about stew is that you don’t need to be…… Continue reading crockpot beef stew
So…right before Christmas I went and hurt myself. Christmas baking is on a bit of a back burner (pun intended) because of it. As I was cutting Bible verses to put in our candy packages for the parade, I managed to be distracted enough to grab the blade of the paper cutter. Our ladies’ Bible…… Continue reading taste of christmas ~ baking to-do list
The other day I wanted to make something other than sandwiches for our fellowship meal which follows our communion service. We have been having a cold potluck (our space does not have an oven) lunch as an extension of the Lord’s Supper. I was perusing Pinterest and was inspired by this recipe. They had me at pesto and…… Continue reading pesto & parmesan pinwheels
Are you wondering what exactly constitutes a donair? According to donair.org (yes, believe it or not, that’s a thing), donairs are also known as “doners”, “gyros”, “doner kebabs”, and “donners”. Whatever you may call them, they are traditionally either Greek or Turkish in origin. We were introduced to the donair pizza on our first trip…… Continue reading donair…cheater-style
The leftovers from our giant Costco package of skinless, boneless chicken (see this post) went to the following night’s dinner–chicken parm. This is one of my faves. In the interest of trying to make it a little healthier, I bake it. It still comes out crispy on the outside and juicy inside, without the added…… Continue reading tastes like chicken ~ easy baked chicken parmesan
What, you may ask, is a fatayer (or fatayir)??? We first had fatayers in a little restaurant run by a Syrian woman while traveling. The place was rather obscure from the outside, but trip advisor gave it a good rating, so we were game to give it a go. We would much rather try something…… Continue reading makin’ fatayer
My Love recently had some meetings in the ‘big city’ so ya know what that means? Costco run! I do miss me my Costco. It’s so wonderful to be stocked up on some of the Costco essentials…coffee, cocoa, olive oil, and veggie straws among a myriad of other goodies. My Love is a man. He…… Continue reading tastes like chicken ~ crockpot tikka masala
