“Beef – it’s what’s for dinner”. Anyone else remember that tag line from years ago? I still say it in my head every time I say the word ‘beef’, so it must have been good advertising! Well, this beef is divine. It starts off sweet and ends with on a spicy note. It has great […]

Basil Walnut Pesto
Summertime smells like basil if you walk out in our garden. We grow it in larges batches because of how good it smells and tastes. You can mix it into anything too from smoothies to sauce. I particularly love it on pasta and bread, but it can easily be mixed into muffins or as a […]
Orange Maple Glazed Salmon
Trevor lovesssss eating sweet and sour chicken from Chinese restaurants, but I hate that it’s fried. So I came up with a sweet and sour sauce recipe that I use on lots of different proteins. This recipe takes elements of the sweet and sour chicken and elevates it to the next level. It touches all […]
Homemade Tomato Sauce
Tonight, I ran out of tomato sauce for our spaghetti and meatballs. But I always keep crushed tomatoes on hand, so it’s easy to have fresh tomato sauce quickly! This is so tasty and even better if you cook the meatballs in it!
Spaghetti & Turkey Meatballs
Spaghetti & meatballs, a true classic. Who doesn’t love this dish? It’s actually my all-time favorite meal. If someone gave me a choice of any food in the world, this would be it! I’ve tried making the meatballs with just beef, a mix of beef, veal and pork, and just turkey. They’re all great! My […]
Baked Challah French Toast
Much like my traditional challah french toast recipe, this recipe has a similar ending even though the process is different. You can add any fruit or nut to this recipe and it freezes great!

Cabbage & Chicken Sausage Dinner
We had a LOT of leftover cabbage from our bbq this weekend (I made Trevor’s Famous Coleslaw recipe), so this dish is a great way to use it up. In about 15 minutes, this healthy, low-carb dinner was ready to serve. It’s buttery and crunchy and more filling than you’d think. I served it with some […]
Mini Egg Frittatas
When I had Amelia, I realized quickly that one-handed foods are a must for any new mom. I really struggled with getting healthy foods in because I wasn’t able to sit down for a proper meal. So, my cousin, Carolyn, made these egg muffins for me and I’ve been making them ever since (even though […]
Trevor’s Famous Coleslaw
We BBQ most nights in the summer – it’s easy to cook and easy to clean-up. I like to make sure we change up what we’re eating each time, but one recipe we always make is Trevor’s Coleslaw. It’s a recipe he brought here from England and every time we make it, everyone raves about […]
