We’re in a weird place right now with the seasons. It’s officially spring but it’s still chilly outside. Beautiful green leaves are sprouting on the trees but then a bitter cold wind blows off the ocean. It’s that weird time of year when I really don’t know what to drink. I know that sounds odd.… Continue reading Toronto Cocktail

Mediterranean Shrimp
In my goal to eat healthier the family and I have started eating fish and seafood at least once a week. While Hubs and I eat all kinds of seafood, the boys can be picky. A loves poke and some white fish while T can’t get enough salmon or sushi. But both boys love shellfish.… Continue reading Mediterranean Shrimp
Irish Soda Bread
In case you’re living under a rock, you may not know that St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow. Well, I’m here to tell you that it is!

Red Wine Lamb Chops with Dried Fruit
When winter hits, all I want is warm comforting meals. Dinners that will coat my throat and stomach and make me feel all cozy inside. Hearty proteins that will fill me up and keep me content until breakfast the next morning. Meals like chili or spaghetti and meatballs. A thick, rich risotto or savory stew.… Continue reading Red Wine Lamb Chops with Dried Fruit
Baked Polenta with Sausage
If there’s one thing I love, it’s an easy dinner. I’m so busy during the week, taking the kids to and from their various activities, that making something simple always makes me happy. I make a variety of things from taco salads to roasted chicken to pastas. Anything that takes a minimal amount of time… Continue reading Baked Polenta with Sausage
Roasted Chicken with Grapes
I make dinner almost every night for my family. Those dinners range the gamut from pasta, to seafood to steak and chicken. It really depends on what we’re in the mood for. While I love chicken and steak, my boys are partial to pastas and pizza. But since we can’t eat chicken nuggets and pizza… Continue reading Roasted Chicken with Grapes

Lemon Butter Cookies
I know I’ve been all about being healthy the past few weeks but even I need the occasional cookie or sweet treat. A simple cookie won’t tip the scales if you’ve been cutting back, but it could temper those cravings that we all get now and again. Personally, I love a good chocolate chip cookie,… Continue reading Lemon Butter Cookies
Roasted Salmon with Orzo
The past few weeks I’ve talked about how I’m trying to be healthy in the new year while still eating delicious, filling meals. I’ve cut back on the sweets (somewhat) and I’m making hearty dishes. Since it’s National Soup month and it’s been a pretty cold start to the year, the last couple weeks have… Continue reading Roasted Salmon with Orzo
Lasagna Soup
We’re still smack dab in the middle of National Soup Month and there’s nothing I want more on a bitingly cold day than a big, hot bowl of soup. I’ll take anything from the classic chicken noodle to a hearty vegetable. I especially love it when my soup has stuff in it. Stuff like noodles,… Continue reading Lasagna Soup

Happy New Year! New years mean new plans, new resolutions and plenty of new recipes. This is the time of year I start with a clean slate and think about what I want to do and eat over the next few months. A lot of it depends on the seasons and what fresh produce is… Continue reading Sausage Pasta Stew
