So as it is approaching Valentine's Day, I thought I would share another recipe that combines chocolate and alcohol, whether this is to share with your loved one or guzzle on the couch by yourself. This is also a very appropriate time for this drink because it...
SS: Leg of Lamb with Garlic Mashed Potatoes
This Supper Sunday I have made a leg of lamb. If you, like me, feel very intimidated by the idea of cooking lamb- never fear it is a lot easier than you think- at least the way I do it! and oh my is it tasty! - I do apologize for any vegetarians/vegans/non-meat eaters...
WW: Sneaking Veggies into Breakfast 2: Green Smoothie
For this Wellness Wednesday- I'm doing a second round of sneaking veggies into breakfast- with my version of the Green Smoothie. I feel like the Green Smoothie is a fairly common and established thing- but since it is always good to see everyones different versions...
Supper Sunday: Curried Pork Stew with Samosas
This has to be one of my all-time favourite meals that my mom makes- it is so delicious! It is a very indian-style dish and I love indian food it is probably my favourite. This is also quite a large batch- so if you make the full batch you will have enough for a...
Tipsy Treats Tuesday: Boozy Brownies!
So this Tuesday, my alcohol-related post is about these delicious treats! These cocoa brownies are so good! I have to say that I am generally a much bigger fan of cocoa based brownies, as I find them to be more fudgy and chocolate-y than ones that are made with...
Supper Sunday: Dinner at the Malt Shoppe!
This Sunday is a dinner I made for a girls night with my sister & friend! And I felt like going with a theme: Fast Food- but more like 50's diner style with the malt shakes! 🙂 I have to say that I'm really not a lover of fast food. I don't know if it's because I...
Wellness Wednesday:Sneaking veggies into breakfast- Pumpkin Oatmeal
I love oatmeal- apparently I always have (mom says she couldn't heap the spoon high enough for me when I was a baby). I suppose some things never change- but lately I've been ramping up my morning oats by sneakily adding some extra healthy ingredients. I am one...
Tipsy Tuesday: White Wine Sangria!
I thought I would share the drink of choice at my last girls night- white wine Sangria!! Also introduce my new feature: Tipsy Tuesdays- which should be self explanatory! This was super tasty and perfect for sipping away while snuggling on the couch, chatting, watching...
Supper Sunday: Beef Stroganoff
Happy Sunday everyone- this Sunday I have something very delicious! Beef Stroganoff, I know that there are lots of different ways to make this- but this is how I make it! Beef Stroganoff 2 lbs beef- sliced thinly into strips (best to use a leaner cut of beef)...
Supper Sunday: Pretending it’s Summer with Steak!
I don't know about you all, but I am pretty much over this whole 'winter' business. I mean snow can be pretty and whatever, but I have found that the weather in Southern Ontario so far has left much to be desired. I mean an ice storm over Christmas? really? Anyways,...
Soup Sunday: Spicy Chili
This Soup Sunday is CHILI!! I love chili- and this is a super spicy chili. Nice for those -23 C days, when you need both a steaming & spicy bowl of delicious dinner! Not to mention a super quick and low mess recipe. This recipe is all made in one soup pot, so...

You are all about to learn what I do with all of my Christmas leftovers. Turkey Stew. A rich and delicious stew so full of flavour and full of all my leftovers from the big dinner! This is- like all of my other recipes- very flexible, and I generally just use...
My Pie Crust
This recipe has been requested by some of my friends (Claire- this is for you!), generally after I've had them over for dinner & dessert with pastry involved, whether it be a chicken pot pie, tourtière, or one of my famous fruit pies. (exemplified here in a...
Not so Soup & Not so Sunday: Tourtière on a Monday
Yes, it is the second installment of a failed Soup Sunday- I was thinking that at some point in the new year this feature might become Supper Sunday instead- because I will eventually run out of soups... but I suppose I can keep it, in this cheating way for a while....
Soup Sunday: Black Bean Soup & Hummus
Mmmmm, I have to say that of all the soups, this one is my favourite. It is so tasty, warming, and filling- and full of one of my favourite and least glamorous foods- beans. I just love beans, the taste and the texture, and they are the main ingredient in this...
Soup Sunday: Wonton Soup
Hi All, this Soup Sunday I have a bit of a different soup, something that I had never made before but I really enjoyed!- Wonton Soup Now I would say that this soup is more of an appetizer soup, as there aren't very many veggies involved, and fairly small servings of...
Not so Soup and not so Sunday: Lasagna on Monday
Only my third Sunday into Soup Sunday and I have already failed. No soup and dunkable companion this week, this week is Lasagna Monday (notice my post title rhymes- I'm just that cool). But really- what's a girl to do when she is craving some cheezy delicious...
Soup Sundays: Vegetable Beef with Cheddar Biscuits
This Soup Sunday is a classic soup, one of the heartiest, tastiest and warming soups of all- Vegetable Beef-, with one of the tastiest dunkable companions- the cheddar biscuit. This soup should almost be named the 'anything and everything' soup because you can put...
Friendship Cake
Around this time every year, if I am attentive enough, I will remember to start the best 30 day process -the process of friendship cake. Friendship cake is one of my grandma's recipes. It takes 30 days to make, and it is usually started in late November so that it can...
Soup Sundays: Ham & Potato Soup with Cornmeal muffins
I was at home this weekend, enjoying the wonderful chill of fall, and one thing that made my weekend just that much better was a lovely bowl of homemade soup. There really is nothing better than homemade soup, especially when it is fall, when your mom made it, and...
