Recipe: Fresh Zucchini Boats
Fresh zucchini boats – the perfect dinner on this beautifully sunny spring day. Not only are they fresh (well, by fresh I mean not all hot and filled with melted cheese), but they are tasty, too. In this recipe I cook the zucchini first and then add the other ingredients – I don’t bake them all together. Let’s get cooking. Ingredients 1 zucchini cup of corn 2 cups of black beans (I soak my own, better than using a can) 3 tablespoons of fresh cilantro…

Recipe: Spicy Roasted Chicken
Spicy roasted chicken is the perfect little meal for your Easter Sunday dinner – or any family dinner, for that matter. It goes well with the chili cream corn I made earlier this week.

Ingredients whole chicken 1 1/2 teaspoon of ground jalapeno 1 teaspoon of ground chipolte That’s it for the ingredients, nice and simple. Set…

Chili cream corn – just in time for your Easter dinner this coming Sunday. I’ll have a couple of other items for your dinner table this week, too, so be sure to stop by again.

It’s the kind of dish that you’ll look forward to each Sunday family dinner. Let’s get cooking! Ingredients 8oz of cream cheese 1/4…

Recipe: The Best Gluten Free Pizza
The best gluten free pizza – it truly is. I posted this recipe a while back – gluten free pizza – and I’ve made some improvements. Necessary improvements. As you know it’s been a hard week, saying goodbye to Bella was tough, and still is at times. We’ve spent the week talking and sharing about our sweet pup and tonight we’re going to do what we did last Friday night – sit on the couch, eat delicious food and watch The Americans. Bella loved to…

Recipe: Gouda Mac and Cheese
Gouda mac and cheese – oh, and it’s gluten free. Awesome! Earlier this week I made gouda quesadillas and they were good, this mac and cheese, however, is better. Maybe because I was more in the mood for it, but either way, this is a must try. Let’s get cooking. Ingredients 1 box of pasta (I used gluten free) 5 oz of shredded high quality gouda (I used De Waag 3 year aged) 1 pack of Boursin cheese (I used chive and garlic) 3 tablespoons…

Recipe: Roasted Butternut Squash Salad
Roasted butternut squash salad – basically this is roasted butternut squash stuffed with avocado, feta cheese, toasted almonds all in a winter vinegar dressing. So good. It doesn’t look that pretty, but it sure tastes great. This salad uses the same dressing for the quinoa fall salad I made a few weeks ago. It’s one of my new favourite dressings. Okay, time to roast up! Ingredients 1 medium butternut squash 2 tablespoons of olive oil 1 large avocado 1/2 a cup of feta cheese handful…
