We’ve had our first snowfall of 2016 here in Montreal! As I sit here writing this, I can look out my window and see big, fluffy snowflakes falling. When we start to get the cold and snowy weather, I always look forward to finding ways to make our home cozy and warm. A perfect way…

After falling in love with cooking over ten years ago, I’ve made it a goal to cook and learn about various ingredients and dishes. It’s all about learning- not about the meals being perfect. Please join me as I continue this adventure! (98% of the recipes end up being delicious- it’s worth following along!)
Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Soup
Yes, another slow cooker recipe! I love how easy it is to throw ingredients together and give them time to cook and absorb each other’s delicious flavors. While this version is a tad time consuming, there are several shortcuts you can take to have the soup done in a “One Pot” 30 Minute fashion as…
One Pot Chicken Noodle Soup
I love one pot/slow cooker meals and recipes that use leftover food so this is a two in one! This recipe is so simple and instead of worrying about preparing chicken in advance, you can use leftover shredded chicken. Or, if you don’t have any, you can do what I did and pick up a rotisserie chicken…
Slow Cooker Bolognese Sauce Recipe
It is definitely no secret that I LOVE pasta and I can eat it every single day. When I found this recipe on Spend with Pennies, I knew I had to try it. I altered the recipe just a bit to accommodate what I had in my fridge and pantry, but it was delicious! I…
Delicious Pork Roast Recipe
I know I have posted several Pork recipes in the past. Some are one pot dishes and others have the pork wrapped in bacon (how can you go wrong?). It is rare for me to have good cuts of pork to work with, so when I do cook with this meat, I try to make…
Zu-Canoes Recipe: Delicious Hot or Cold
Originally found on Eating Well, these zu-canoes are perfect to make as a side dish. They taste amazing and you feel good while eating them. While microwaving the zucchinis is fast and easy, you can also grill them on the BBQ during the summer months. If you have leftovers, you can alter the assembly and…
Couscous Tabbouleh Salad Recipe
We made this Couscous Tabbouleh Salad recipe for our Father’s Day picnic and it was delicious. It uses simple ingredients and you don’t have to worry about any salad leaf mixtures getting soggy or wilting if you make it in advance. If you would like a Gluten-Free option, simply use Quinoa instead of couscous. The…
Honey Mustard Chicken Salad
I found this great recipe for a Honey Mustard Chicken (and plenty of yummy extras) Salad by Cafe Delites (thanks Pinterest!). I altered the recipe and made it a bit differently, but it tasted delicious and I’m so glad I tried it. The recipe calls for boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts and I highly…
