Add our quick Blender Salsa Fresca for more flavour! If I had to name my one major food weakness, it would be chips and salsa. No matter when and where I am, I could always find room for them. Sadly, gone are the days when we could get away with eating mounds of chips and salsa and stay in shape! But it’s simply not true to say that now I’m deprived of all the fun food just because I have to be a bit more careful with what I eat....
One of the best parts about making this pie is that the filling comes together in one bowl! Simply whisk everything together and then pour it into the prepared pie crust. You don’t need any fancy equipment to make this. It’s also an incredibly easy dessert recipe to make, as the ingredients are simple, and you’ll likely have them on hand already. If you want another easy pie recipe, then try my cherry pie recipe, Oreo pie recipe, or buttermilk pie recipe....
I think its safe to say; the holiday cheer has slowly disappeared. This sense of being caught in limbo has kicked in. I mean, what is there to look forward to once January comes around? I guess shop keepers are feeling the same way. Putting out the stuff for the next holiday in hopes to cheer people up.I just have one bone to pick with them. Can a girl get a break between New Years and Valentines?...
Soft chocolate stuffed cookies for the win I was never the biggest fan of cookies because the ones I tried were often hard and crunchy which I don’t like at all. I prefer super soft cookies which are gooey and chewy. So I experimented a lot in the kitchen and it took a while until I was satisfied. The result is these soft chocolate stuffed cookies with chocolate chips. Meanwhile, I totally changed my opinion about cookies and I actually can’t stop eating them, haha....
The soup of my childhood. This is the get-better soup that my mom made for me, pretty much up until the time I was 25, whenever I wanted something warm and comforting or was feeling under the weather. Over the years, I finally decided to learn how to make it for myself. It’s incredibly easy to make and uses mostly pantry staples, so you can see why it’s a great soup to make when you’re feeling under the weather and can’t exactly make it to the store....
If you love easy and filling snacks as much as I do, try my Energy Balls and my Pumpkin Pecan Granola! Copycat Kind Granola Bars During the week, granola bars are always my breakfast go to. I have been eating the Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt Kind bars for the past couple of months and decided to try making them at home. After all, Kind Bars are actually a bit pricey and I figured it would be pretty easy to make at home!...
Crab is not something I serve regularly, it is expensive, and rightly so as quality meat is hand picked and therefore labour intensive. But I am fond of it and have created a few crab recipes for when I’m feeling flush, like quick and easy crab pasta, crab fried rice or hot crab and roasted corn dip. Are you a crab convert now too?

Pasta is often enjoyed with some sort of meat in North America while all it really needs is a flavourful sauce to be a complete meal.

Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables! If you love crispy brussels sprouts, my Roasted Brussels Sprouts will be a hit, and check out my Slow Cooker Balsamic Brussels Sprouts for the easiest side dish recipe! The Crispiest Brussels Sprouts I am a HUGE fan of brussels sprouts! Not only are these mini cabbages kind of adorable, but they also taste amazing when cooked right. No more boiling brussels sprouts for hours on end, that is not how you get their best flavors to shine!...
I love making this homemade candy for the holidays as they’re easy to make festive with colorful sprinkles and they make for a delightful edible gift at that time of the year. They also last quite a while (if you don’t eat them all in one sitting!), so they’re great to have around for any last-minute visitors dropping by. If you want another fun holiday treat, then try my toffee recipe, peanut brittle recipe, or potato candy recipe....
published Mar 02, 2022, updated Jul 10, 2024 I enjoy this curry chicken salad recipe more often than I care to admit — especially in the hot summer months when I just want a bite of something cool and refreshing! And this recipe checks both of those boxes and more. It’s way more flavorful than classic chicken salad. The mayonnaise is mixed with Major Grey chutney, curry powder, and lime juice (among other things) to make a tangy chutney dressing....
Are you a Sriracha fan?! Then you will love my Honey Sriracha Salmon or my Honey Sriracha Chicken! 20 Minute Sriracha Chicken These honey Sriracha chicken thighs are the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. I made this recipe with bone in skin on chicken thighs to keep the chicken tender and juicy on the inside as well as crispy on the outside. This recipe is super simple. Add all of the sauce ingredients to a large bowl, add in the chicken and toss to coat....
Pro Tips for Delicious Canapés If you want to make this in advance I recommend toasting the bread in the oven first. Of course you can sub chicken eggs for quail. Feel free to use what’s in season and add your favorite ingredients. If you’re toasting the bread let it cool before spreading the ricotta on top. What is the difference between canapés and hors d oeuvres? A canapé is a type of hor d’oeuvre (appetizer), usually a small bite served on bread, puff pastry or a cracker....
Can you smell the deliciousness of pasta puttanesca through the screen? It just sounds fancy – pasta puttanesca. Like you’re making something totally exotic. In reality, it’s a pretty short grocery list but the taste is truly like fireworks on your tongue. The whole house smells like the most amazing tomato sauce and it’s as simple as stirring a few ingredients in a pan and boiling pasta. Layers of delicious garlic tomato sauce spiked with just a hint of red pepper flakes tossed with al dente pasta, oil-cured black olives, and speckled with beautifully briny capers....
Almost nearing the end of week 1 and before I even start writing about this recipe, I have to tell you this. This Emirati Khameer is one of the softest oven-baked flatbreads that I have made for this A to Z International flatbread series. I am saying oven-baked because I have another very soft flatbread coming up that is pan-cooked. The Emirati Khameer, which is a popular flatbread from the United Arab Emirates is so simple and quick to make....
For the final week of the Blogging marathon, we are doing a special theme which happens to be one of my favorites and that is BM Pair. I am paired with Mireille who blogs at East West Realm. She also happens to be a fellow New Yorker and I had a wonderful time with her along with a few other BM friends. She has a very vibrant personality and is very easy to talk with and make friends with....
Thank God It’s Friday, y’all! I thought this week would never end. It was an ongoing cycle of endless days, but the weekend is finally here! This recipe for firecracker chicken meatballs has been stuck in my head on an endless loop for the last several weeks. I had been craving something with a little more spice, yet a little sweet too. And what’s more perfect than game day food that’s actually somewhat healthy (they’re baked!...
Before I could even finish typing you the intro on this one, I was screamin’ for ice cream. Just thinking about it. GIVE. ME. NOW. Smooth, luxuriously creamy ice cream with hints of real strawberries throughout. Creamy and sweet, but not tooo sweet. I love serving ice cream up in a cone. For some reason, it doesn’t feel like summer around here until you’ve got a hot day and an ice cream cone with half melted ice cream running down your arm....
For the second day of travel-friendly dishes, I made this fruit cake. We usually travel quite a bit with our boys and most of the trips are weekend trips. I like to carry snacks for the kids as well for us when traveling since that is when we are most hungry. The idea to make this fruit cake came during one of our recent trips to our friend’s place. She had a loaf of Wonder cake fruit loaf....
