This is a recipe I created a few years ago as an experiment and enjoyed it so much that I have been working gradually to perfect it. And I think, I'm finally satisfied. I want to also acknowledge that by many standards this might not be considered curry - and that's okay. I don't claim … Continue reading Zucchini Chickpea Curry
This is probably my favourite camping recipe. We make it every summer when we go camping and never get tired of it! I learned how to make this recipe from my step-dad while camping with my family as a kid. I remember him always making it on the camp-stove and it was always one of … Continue reading Camp-Stove Favourite: Lentils and Sausage
I've been getting kind of tired of what I've been typically cooking. I think I've gotten stuck in one of those cooking ruts where I'm leaning on the same recipes over and over again.

Today, … Continue reading Tomato-Onion-Butter Sauce: Making a Childhood Favourite

I can honestly say that meal planning has changed my life. It has changed the way that I cook, but more importantly it has contributed to my family having a better life balance, less stress, and given us more time to spend together. Meal planning has really changed the way that I cook. When I … Continue reading My 10 Tips and Tricks for Successful Meal Planning
I've really been craving pub food lately. I don't know if it's because of the weather getting warmer and that has me thinking about terraces and bars, but the past couple of weeks or so, I've really had a hankering for some fish and chips. So, I decided to make some at home (seeing as … Continue reading Making Fish and Chips (Sort of)
Cooking is an incredibly personal thing. Our cooking is influenced in so many ways including our cultural context(s), regional availability of ingredients, family traditions, dietary needs, lifestyle and budgetary constraints. It even depends on how you define cooking. Is there a difference between cooking and preparing? Some say “yes”, others “no”. Everyone has a different … Continue reading Cooking Adventures: My Cooking Philosophy
Here is one of my favourite vegetarian recipes! It's very simple, quick to make, rich, and doesn't involve many ingredients.

My husband is also a … Continue reading Cream of Broccoli Cheddar Pasta
