Recipe: Spicy Whole Turkey
Spicy whole turkey for Thanksgiving! Who’s in? I am! This recipe is quite easy and gives your whole turkey a bit of kick this November. When I used to teach in Dallas, Texas, Thanksgiving was amazing – why? Because we got a whole week off! That’s how a worn out teacher thinks…time to catch up on laundry, cleaning the house, grading papers, holiday shopping, the 1343537 emails in my work inbox. The week was jam packed and I was excited to get up because I…

Recipe: Biscuits
The best biscuits. Seriously. I know they are gluten free, but they are flaky and good. Really good. I’ve made them three times, and each time the same way. Do I follow the directions?

Recipe: Beef Stew
Beef stew freezer meal here on the blog today. About 3 weeks ago I made our neighbour some freezer meals. This one, beef stew, and the recipe I’ll be sharing on Saturday – noodle bake. Gordon lost his wife in the summer and she was such a good cook, so I though around the Canadian Thanksgiving I would share some of the love and bring him over 8 meals and some muffins. So, here we have the first one – beef stew freezer meal. It’s…

Sour cream mashed potatoes are the perfect side dish to any winter meal. Roast? Lamb? Or even black bean burgers – yes, these potatoes are creamy and delicious. Try them today! For this recipe, I doubled it because I used it for both a beef stew I made for our neighbour and for our thanksgiving meal. I never know what a normal serving of mashed potatoes looks like because I just love them so much – I think I eat like 2 or 3 servings.…
