Loaded Mile-High Beef Nachos
One of the best, shareable appetizers would have to be Loaded Mile-High Beef Nachos, right?! It's my choice, especially if I'm having to share a dish with anyone, plus everyone gets a generous helping. If you like gooey melty cheese pulls, tasty beef, fresh tomatoes, black beans, corn and a bit of spice, then this dish is for you. What isn't there to love? You know what's the best part though, they're super easy to make at home.

Greek Pasta Salad
I found this recipe for Greek Pasta Salad in a stack of old recipes I was gifted from my Grandma. When my grandmother moved into an assisted living home, my aunt, my uncle and my dad were tasked with selling her house. We were each asked if there was anything we'd like from grandma's home as a keepsake. I knew immediately, what my heart was set on. It was her handwritten recipe cards. And it is a gift I will forever treasure.

Shortcut Corn and Black Bean Salsa
One of the easiest condiments you could have on hand is this Short Cut Corn and Black Bean Salsa. It's so fresh and adds the perfect kick to all your Mexican flavoured dishes. Or eat it by the spoonful like me. It's so good and it takes less than five minutes to mix it all together.

Cheesy Chili Dog Dip
So, us bloggers (it's so weird to call myself that because I still feel like such a newbie, even after a year) will plan recipes based on upcoming events, holidays, etc. So, with the Super Bowl right around the corner, it feels totally appropriate to introduce you to this party-worthy Cheesy Chili Dog Dip. It's exactly what it sounds like and oh so good!

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.

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.

Kicked up Avocado Toast
Hi friends! Today's recipe is a happy little marriage between breakfast and appetizers. Kicked Up Avocado Toast is a quick guacamole piled high on tangy sourdough topped with a couple fried eggs and it all comes together quickly and the flavors are unreal. The richness from the butter on the fried eggs cuts through the hint of citrus in the fresh guacamole and will knock your socks off. It's breakfast heaven and may just be my new favourite, quick-fix breakfast.

The Best Almost Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
There are those dishes, the ones where you can tell what’s cooking as soon as you walk through the door; chocolate chip cookies, thanksgiving turkey, and this Best Almost Homemade Spaghetti Sauce. This is the spaghetti sauce I grew up on, the sauce I’ll pass on to my boys. It’s the spaghetti sauce that my mother-in-law couldn’t refused based on the aroma alone.
