Fennel and Sausage Pasta Salad

Fennel and Sausage Pasta Salad

I remember the very first day I tried fennel. My Mom and I were combing the isles at Safeway looking for ingredients to inspire us. Have you ever done that? Just gone to the grocery store and walked the isles hoping that something will pop out at you? So, we fall upon a big, fresh…

Creamy Chicken Risotto

Creamy Chicken Risotto

3 entrees in one week? I don’t think this has ever happened on the blog. I’m the girl that enjoys pancakes for dinner, gluten-free cupcakes in the afternoon, and chowing down on homemade granola… not gushing over a rib-sticking, comforting meal. Hypothetically if my sweet tooth were to never return, I think it’s fair to…

I enjoy my fair share of chicken, fish, and wild game meats, but you’d never know it from the recipes that I share here on the blog. Although I’d love to document my meat eating action and share with you the balance I maintain between plant and animal based proteins, I’m sad to admit that…

Crock-Pot Chicken and Rutabaga Greens Stew

Crock-Pot Chicken and Rutabaga Greens Stew

Cold weather has hit Alberta. Over the past couple of months I tried to remind myself that the Spring-like weather was a treat for us in January. I had hoped that maybe, just maybe, we wouldn’t experience Winter this year. But as luck would have it, the temperature plummeted from 59F to -13F in the…

Chicken Noodle Meatloaf

Chicken Noodle Meatloaf

Every Sunday afternoon my Dad made us two bowls of chicken noodle soup + a tall stack of saltines for the weekly afternoon golf show on CBC. We’d sit on the chesterfield; my feet barely hanging over the sides, with my soup on my lap and my crackers laid out on the cushion beside me….
