Sierra Turkey Cranberry Wraps (Boars Head copycat)
I have the Kroger Deli to thank for this recipe. Our family goes through just shy of two pounds of luncheon meat a week. My husband loves the Boars Head Blackened Turkey, the boys and I love honey ham or pastrami if I'm feeling really indulgent (it's my fav). One busy Saturday morning, I was out doing the weekly grocery run. The line up with a little longer than usual, so I browsed the pre-made sandwiches and there it was Sierra Turkey Cranberry Wraps.

Sweet Potato Tuna Melts
There are certain meals I associate with being healthy. I don't know if it's a personal quirk or if it's a universal trait among people. When I decide it's time to make my health a priority, I have a handful of recipes I love and cycle through repeatedly. These Sweet Potato Tuna Melts being one of them. They make me think I'm making better choices, even though they're not exactly healthy. And they'll make you feel the same, I promise.

Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese
I feel like pulled pork gets packaged as a summer food, and I get it. Obviously, summer means outdoor cooking, all things smoked, grilled, and barbecued. BUT, when you can make pulled pork in a crockpot like this recipe here, I think it’s appropriate for all seasons, especially when you can use it to make the tastiest Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese sandwiches. I think it’s safe to say, sandwiches are a fantastic meal. The perfect vessel for all sorts of ingredients. I mean, let’s think about this for a minute, they’re portable, usually have a sauce or spread, filled with top-notch ingredients,…

Deluxe Egg Salad Sandwich starts with the basics, mayo, mustard, eggs, salt and pepper and then gets a crunch overload with extra celery and green onions. Add in strips of crispy bacon and fresh spinach. And layer it all inside a light, buttery croissant and you've got a sandwich worthy of the title deluxe and one you won't soon forget.

Red Pepper & Spinach Lunchtime Pizza
I'm always looking for a quick and easy recipe to shake things up at lunch time. I find I get stuck in a bit of a rut, always eating the same things over and over. I had no intention of posting this recipe for Red Pepper & Spinach Lunchtime Pizza, when I made it a few weeks back. It was a bit of a throw together, but after one bite, I knew I had to share. This pizza takes no time, I mean literally, it bakes while you clean up the kitchen or go through your mail.

How to Make Classic Whistle Dogs
Oh the glorious whistle dog, I feel like they deserve a national holiday. This is nostalgia at its finest. There's really nothing fancy about them, but somehow they always seem to taste better than any other hot dog out there. Did you grow up with an A&W nearby? Have you had a whistle dog? These bad boys were a favourite amongst so many! A&W no longer sells these, but don't fret, I'll teach you How to Make Classic Whistle Dogs that will bring you right back to the original. Now if someone would share their onion ring recipe, I'd have a complete…

Taco Pizza on Naan Bread
When I was little, my Dad would make taco pizza. It was sort of his thing. He didn't do a lot of the cooking, that was more my Mom's domain. He loves to cook now and will experiment and take on any, and every dish, but back in the day, he handled the barbecue, fresh fish and taco pizza. Probably other things too, that I've since forgotten, but this pizza, however, was his jam and my inspiration for Taco Pizza on Naan Bread.

Pastrami Sandwiches with Mustard Cream Cheese
Lately, I've been craving sandwiches, really really good sandwiches. You know the kind, the ones that put you in a great mood, and feel like summer. For me, sandwiches remind me of warmer days, when it's too hot to cook. With spring right around the corner, my sandwich cravings have kicked into overdrive. Maybe it was the pregnancy hiatus that pushed me over the edge. Being banned from pastrami is a struggle for me. We've been on a serious sandwich kick, ever since.

Spanakopita Inspired Grilled Cheese
Creamy, gooey cheeses mixed with fresh spinach and dill are sandwiched between two golden fried slices of brioche bread in this spanakopita inspired grilled cheese. I have been thinking about this grilled cheese for months. A fan of spanakopita (greek pie) for years, I remember sitting in my auntie Cath's kitchen, assembly-line style, making those delicious phyllo packets. She sent me her greek pie recipe last year and I've been putting it off. Written in cryptic code, I'm a little intimidated to try it. It's an add-a-bit-of-this-and-some-of-that type recipe and frankly, I'm nervous. This recipe is a classic, hence my trepidation. They're…
