• This was the first guacamole I ever tried and it's been my favourite version ever since. It's loaded with big chunks and major flavour in every bite. This super easy party recipe, with only a handful of ingredients, is always a hit and truly is the Best Chunky Guacamole I've come across.

    The Best Chunky Guacamole

    When I was younger, I avoided anything with avocados. I convinced myself there was zero chance I’d enjoy the green mush and that was that. I drew a line in the sand. Me on one side, avocados on the other. That was until my Aunt Linda, brought The Best Chunky Guacamole to some gathering. The gathering part doesn't matter. What matters is I tried it and my hatred for the little green gem vanished, along with that dip!

    I can honestly say, I've never truly been a fan of rice. It's just never been my thing. I truly believe it's from overuse, you see, my mom loved rice, or maybe it was my Dad and she was cooking it for him. But, after years of rice at least once a week, I'm over it. That was until, I added a package of onion soup mix to my rice. And like that French Onion Rice was born and I'm a huge fan.

A spice blend loaded with greek flavours that can be used in multiple ways, but as a marinade on roasted vegetables is my favourite! I highly recommend this easy side dish recipe.

    Homemade Greek Seasoning & Mediterranean Roasted Vegetables

    I am a huge fan of greek food. I want it all, souvlaki, pita bread, lemon potatoes, dolmades, and feta cheese. Oh and spanakopita, I could live on that flaky cheese pie, alone. Don't even get me started on the desserts. Let's just say, it's one of the most flavour-packed types of cuisine out there. Years ago, I bought a greek dressing mix from Epicure and I used it on everything. Then I ran out, had to come up with my own Homemade Greek Seasoning and I'd put my seasoning up against Epicure's any day!

Four flights and 16 hours of driving for a surprise birthday party. It was the best, the party not the travel! But, we came home to an empty refrigerator and I refuse to grocery shop at midnight. So I figured it would be grilled cheese sandwiches for the next day's dinner. Bread and cheese are staples we always have on hand, except for yesterday. I guess in my pre-travel excitement I forgot to pick up…
