Lemon and Garlic Grilled Vegetables – Using your countertop home panini press to grill vegetables

It’s starting to look really nice out here. Of course, we still get the occasional rain and wind but it’s mostly above zero temperature and the feeling that winter is (finally!) over. And when the weather is nice, all I want to do is grill my food. I just love the BBQ and the fact […]

Vegetarian Chickenless Pot Pie With Amazing Coconut Oil Crust

The first day of spring is tomorrow – yay!! but in reality, I just heard that we’re expecting 5cm of snow tomorrow with rain and winds for dessert, so really, I’m not buying this whole “first day of spring” thing, not here in Nova Scotia. BUT, since it is the first day of spring in […]

Fantastic Baked Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Ever since I was a child I remember loving stuffed peppers, stuffed cabbage, stuffed everything. With sour cream on top, as far as I’m concerned, you don’t need anything else. Unfortunately the peppers here in Halifax are not a cheap treat and that’s why I barely get the chance to make some of my favorite […]

Whole Wheat Pizza Fingers

I’ve never been a fan of game days. I mean those days when a tournament starts or even the Olympics. Don’t get me wrong, I like sports. I used to play Tennis, watch Basketball and even F1 races. But I just don’t find it too interesting any more. I guess people mostly get excited about […]

Mini Chicken Steaks with Fresh Herbs

It’s another cold, white day here in Halifax. Gosh I miss the sun! Just imagining myself lying on a nice warm sandy beach makes my heart warm. Yeah, snow is beautiful I’ll give you that, but time after time after time, it gets kind of boring and annoying. All the layers, the places you can’t […]

Easiest Beef Stew With Potatoes

I’m going to start with a statement here: “I love my mother in law’s food” I really do, I’m not just saying it to become her favorite, it’s been too long and it’s too late now 🙂 I’m just being honest with you. After we moved to Canada and had to adjust to life with […]
