After 3 attempts, and so many leftovers I don’t know what to do with, I think I’ve finally nailed this one. I think this has to be one of my largest challenges yet. I don’t have a good track record with experimenting with chicken, which is why you don’t see a lot of chicken recipes…

Hunters Pie with Herb Gravy

I don’t know what I was thinking when I boiled up 15 potatoes and 2.5 lbs of meat for the test run of this recipe. We were left with 2 heaping bowls of meat and potatoes that physically would not fit into our 2.5 qt casserole dish, no matter how physics sliced it. So, seeing…

Dragon Rice Bowl with Marinated Tofu (& a merry ho-ho)

Making gingerbread houses has to be my favourite activity of the Christmas season. I never eat any of the candy because 80% of it is made up of corn (allergy), but I just love coming up with new ways to decorate the house each year! I made a garden patch in the backyard of my…
