We eat a ton of hummus in our house… a TON! And it’s great because it’s so healthy and versatile. It can be used as a dip, a spread, or even mixed into muffins (yes, really! I’ll share my recipe for it soon). I think Im going to put this on my sandwich or on […]
As you know, we love salmon! The girls love salmon. Even our dog likes salmon. So, we eat it every week (as evident by a sampling of my salmon recipes below). It is so easy to make, which makes it the perfect weeknight dinner. And it’s fast, so you can get all the superpowers of […]
I love shrimp. Trevor does not. He kinda feels the way about shrimp that I do about mushrooms (read more about that here). So, I don’t make shrimp that often. But when I do, it has to be good. So tonight, I’m making a simple grilled shrimp quinoa bowl using leftover quinoa, leftover corn-on-the-cob, tomatoes […]
Apparently, I’m in a vegetarian mood this week. Last night, it was a Tomato Feta Panzanella Salad, and tonight it’s stuffed portobello mushrooms. Now, if you know me, you know I don’t love the texture of mushrooms (cooked or raw, any variety). But I absolutely love the flavor. Trevor could live on mushrooms – that’s […]
Another busy summer day means another quick dinner. Tonights dinner is inspired by what I found in my cabinet (tomatoes & garlic) and freezer (chicken) that had to be used up. I’ve been picking tomatoes left and right from our garden and keeping them in the cabinet. So I wanted to highlight them in tonights […]
Summer should be all about fun and not always being stuck cooking in the kitchen or at the bbq (unless you want to!). So, today, I took my own advice and just let loose. We had the BEST day playing in the splash pads, playing in the sensory bins at the park, seeing lots of […]
I must be craving chicken this week because I haven’t had it in a while, and now I’m making it two nights in a row! This is a great way to enjoy chicken in a bold, flavorful way. It tastes like a full-fat version of chicken salad, but part of the mayo is substituted with […]
Every now and again, I look forward to tasty, carb-free dinners. I spent so long eating them when I was doing Whole30 in January, that I still look forward to them now (in moderation, of course). If I was doing Whole30 again but in the summer, this is one I would definitely have on repeat. […]
I made a quick, off-the-beaten-path green salad for lunch today with everything green I had in the house. It turned out better than I could have thought with a mix of sweet, salty and crunchy. Avocado would taste great in this, if you have any. I wish mine was ripe, but I seem to be […]
Even though I cook everyday, I still find that I get in a rut with food sometimes and I need inspiration. This seems to be the week where that’s happening. So, I went to the supermarket yesterday and just walked around. I let the food inspire me. When I walked past the fish counter, the […]
