• I'm interrupting winter to bring you a sweet summer treat. One that you can make any time of year. I learned how to make Cabin Tea years ago from my bestie's mother in law. Two ingredients are all it takes and you'll be swept right back to those nostalgic warm summer afternoons.

    Cabin Tea (two-ingredients)

    I've known my best friend's husband for decades longer than she has. My best friend, Edith, and I grew up in the same town, so how is this possible you ask? Well, his grandparents and my grandparents had cabins on opposite sides of an island on the lake that surrounds my home town. So Matthew (my bestie's husband) and I spent plenty of time together over the years when his family and his cousins would travel up north to visit. On one visit, his mom taught me how to make this easy Cabin Tea.

  • Be healthy...Tomorrow! Crispy Chicken Barbecue Salad is a full dinner! This entree salad is loaded with flavour! Ranch dressing and barbecue sauce coats chicken bites or tenders along with bacon and hard-boiled eggs. There's also black beans and corn and a few other gems. This is NOT diet food, this is your next weeknight meal!

    Crispy Chicken Barbecue Salad

    I rarely get a salad at a restaurant and I don't know why. If you've been following along, you know that I'm not the biggest fan of the green stuff, but then am I? The scarce time I do order a salad I always love it, so what really is my problem? Is it because they take extra work, all those veggies that need chopping? Is it because there's probably something else on the menu I'd rather eat? That's probably the real reason. But years ago I had a Crispy Chicken Barbecue Salad and I still think about it, it was good.

  • STOP roasting beets! And don't bother pickling them. I have your new favourite recipe right here! And all it takes is two ingredients!! Hot Vinegar Pan-Fried Beets are the only recipe you will ever need. Boiled and then pan-fried and finished with a drizzle of vinegar creates the tastiest side for all of your meat & potato style meals. Not to mention you can add them to salads, bowls, etc. OR eat them straight up just like me!

    Hot Vinegar Pan-Fried Beets (Two ingredients)

    Hot Vinegar Pan-Fried Beets may seem a little misleading. These beets are not spicy at all. I just mean hot as in temperature and vinegar as vinegar not pickled. I see a lot of recipes for pickled beets, but this is not that. This is one of my favourite side dish recipes EVER. I've always loved these beets. This is how we grew up eating this pretty red vegetable. And let me tell you this was one side I NEVER skipped and for a young kid, that's saying a lot.

This is always my go-to recipe when I decide to get healthy. ALWAYS. It's filling, tasty and super easy! Scrambled eggs with sauteed spinach, salty feta and bright fresh tomatoes to balance every single bite.

    Spinach and Feta Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes

    There's a little coffee shop in the city across the river from my hometown. The shop was owned by a family friend and was definitely the hot spot in town when it opened. We'd hang out there after school drinking their version of a frappucino. And on Saturdays, we'd head over the border to get Spinach and Feta Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes. It was the best way to start the weekend.

I want new ideas, things I haven't tried, things that intrigue me. You're with me, right? So, I spend a lot of time searching for ideas. This weeks recipe started out as sausage rolls but then took a hard left turn and became Easy Cinnamon Sugar Cronuts

    Pineapple and Ham Hawaiian Sliders

    I remember the first time I had one of those famous sliders that have been all over Pinterest in the last few years. It was at a party my folks were throwing right after Christmas. One of their friends came with a panful of these tasty mini sandwiches. I took one, had a bite and then realized there probably wasn't enough for everyone and I should've shared. But at that very moment, the flavours hit my tongue, and I ceased to care. It was so good! I've thought about that slider quite a few times over the years. And so, I decided…
