There's no better way to beat the heat than with lots of cold food. Our food preferences tend to shift as the weather warms up regardless, but with this last heat wave, the desire for colder foods has only increased (the thought of having the oven on more than necessary...
Asian Chicken Meatballs
As I'm continuing to experiment with ground chicken recipes, I figured meatballs were a great place to go next. They're usually pretty easy to make (meat + spices + binder = yum) and I've made beef ones many times over for friends and family. Since I love an Asian flavour...
Ground Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry
For the last 10 years or so I’ve eaten a diet that’s primarily pescaterian. I’ve never had a particular issue with eating meat, I just didn’t really have a taste for it, and I never force myself into eating foods I don’t enjoy. Naturally we’ve been home significantly more since...
Brown Sugar Garlic Baked Chicken
This recipe is reminiscent of one my mom use to make for us as kids. She used to call it "sticky chickey" and it was basically a sticky Asian inspired chicken wing. I decided to mirror (or try to anyway!) the recipe last night for the hubs, but using chicken...
Broccoli Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
This salad was a really nice change from my usual recipes. I always love a good chopped salad, but tend to gravitate towards the same basic salad structure- cucumbers, bell peppers, and then some variety of olive. Even though I used a lot of the same ingredients I typically would...
Hot and Sour Soup
Last night, I decided I was in the mood for some Asian cuisine. We have not been ordering for the last 4 weeks, so I decided to whip something up instead! I made a giant pot of hot and sour soup, and I also made a small batch of peanut...
Spinach Pesto Pasta
I've always liked pesto, but hadn't fully figured out a recipe that I really loved, that is, until this one. Really, I was just looking for a way to use up spinach that was nearing the end of it's shelf life, so I figured why not throw it into a...
Coconut Green Curry Soup
Turns out I started this post back in January, and never got around to finishing it! Looks like, there's no excuses now! This soup has a few more ingredients than some of my other recipes, but they're all pretty easy to come by. If your local grocery store doesn't have...
Easy Pumpkin Alfredo Recipe
I was going to hold off and post this a bit later in the week, but it was just so good I couldn’t wait! I am not a big pasta eater, but I could have eaten the entire box with this sauce on it. It’s rich, creamy and packed with...
Homemade Teriyaki Bowls
I had a flash of inspiration last Sunday night and decided I needed to make teriyaki bowls. It wasn't even that I wanted to, I simply HAD to. With that being said though, I knew I wanted to make my own sauce, and then build bowls from there. The requirements...
