Summer time is the best time. The sun is hotter, the days are longer, the dirt ring in the tub comes back. And the food get simpler, fresher, and tastier. Just like this Jerk Chicken Buddha Bowl with Simple Mango Salsa! I don’t know about you guys, but summer around here is just different. Maybe…

Creamy Sherry Nutmeg Mushroom Soup
This amazing mushroom soup recipe totally isn’t mine. I have to give all the props to this one to Kevin’s mom. Dawn is such a fantastic cook, and she’s never shy to try something new, or different. I can’t count the number of times we’ve been over for dinner and when asked what’s for dinner,…
Curried Chickpea Salad Sandwich
One of my favourite recipes ever is curried chicken salad mini pitas. It’s my old stand by – if I’m bringing an appetizer anywhere, it’s always curried chicken salad.It’s my go to because it’s quick, it’s easy, and because people rave about how amazing it is. What can I say, compliments are a fine accompaniment to…

I explain why I’m taking the challenge and introduce a great book, that I truly believe everyone would benefit from reading. Today, on day 2 of my 30 Day Vegan Challenge,…
Cashew Chicken
Kevin and I went out for dinner a few weeks ago, after our first appointment with our Naturopath. Since I had spent the previous 4 weeks eating anything and everything to prep for my IgG allergy testing, I was ready to get back up onto the clean eating bandwagon. As I looked over the menu…
Shepherd’s Pie with Mashed Potato and Turnip
My mom is and has always been a meat and potatoes kind of lady. A real comfort food cook. We grew up with a full meal on the table every single night. I’m talking, meat, potatoes, vegetables, and salad. Nightly. I don’t know how she managed to do it, but she did. And we ate…
Hearty Hamburger Soup
I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to get the winter blahs. The snow keeps coming. Then it warms up. Then the wind hits. Then it rains. Then it drops into temperatures that make me wonder why we still live here. Then it warms up again. Then more snow. I’m ready for spring. That’s…
Slow Cooker Balsamic Pork Tenderloin
If you can’t tell by now, I’m head over heels for balsamic vinegar. I love the stuff and I’m always trying to find recipes or ways to get more of it in my life. There’s something about the flavour, it’s just so good! I have a special tenderloin recipe that I break out in the…
Ham and Spinach Quiche With Potato Crust
Kevin’s been putting in some long hours lately, and this weekend, instead of letting it get me down, I packed up the kids and we went to my parents for a sleepover. It really doesn’t matter that it took me longer to pack than it did to drive over to their place. Or that we…
{Paleo} How To Cook Spaghetti Squash
This is one of my favourites. It’s so easy to prepare, and just yummy. Oh, and it’s a nutritious Paleo way to replace spaghetti! If you’ve never had spaghetti squash, I highly recommend you try it. It sort of smells like pumpkin, you know how they have that “squash” kind of smell? It retains the…
