---This post is part of my Canadian Thanksgiving series--- Obviously, stuffing is a key component of any Thanksgiving table, but I had a really hard time finding a simple, classic recipe. Most of the recipes I came across included things like sausage, chestnuts, cornbread, etc., all of which are wonderful ingredients, but just not what … Continue reading Traditional White Bread Stuffing
Candied Walnuts
---This post is part of my Canadian Thanksgiving series--- When planning my menu, I looked at many ideas for appetizer soups involving pumpkin or other winter squash, but when I looked at all of the other dishes I had planned, they just seemed like too much food. Plus, carrying bowls of hot soup around a … Continue reading Candied Walnuts
Cornbread (Muffins)
---This post is part of my Canadian Thanksgiving series--- I've already told you about the Classic Lasagna I made to serve upon arrival for our Thanksgiving weekend guests, but I thought one more home-cooked meal (in addition to the big Thanksgiving feast!) was warranted that weekend. Lunch the day after our big meal seemed like … Continue reading Cornbread (Muffins)
Classic Lasagna
---This meal is part of my Canadian Thanksgiving series--- Hubby's family had a long trip to our house for Canadian Thanksgiving - about 8-10 hours. So before I could worry about the Thanksgiving feast itself, I wanted to have a nice meal for them when they arrived. I decided that I needed something that could … Continue reading Classic Lasagna
Thanksgiving in October!
So be honest, how many of you out there know that Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving about 6 weeks before we do in the US? I'm not sure I would have ever learned this tidbit if I hadn't married a Canadian, but interestingly enough Canadian Thanksgiving coincides with our Columbus day, which means we all have a … Continue reading Thanksgiving in October!
Simplest Mac & Cheese
I know, I've already posted two mac & cheese recipes on this site, but I'm still on a quest for the perfect healthy recipe. The Mac & Cheese (with Squash!) is yummy, and I love the Broccoli Mac & Cheese, but I have to admit pre-cooking pasta and making a cheese sauce is a bit … Continue reading Simplest Mac & Cheese
Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders
Since we started introducing solid foods to the munchkin about a year ago, she has pretty much been a vegetarian. She was quick to like fruits, grains, dairy, and even eggs, but somehow none of the ways I prepared meat seemed to work for her. Until I found this recipe for Chicken Teriyaki, which she … Continue reading Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders
One Bowl Brownies
There is a debate in my family about brownies. My mom thinks that Duncan Hines makes the best brownies, and I used to agree. But once I started reading labels I just couldn't bring myself to make anything that includes ingredients like partially hydrogenated oil and artificial flavors. Brownies shouldn't need factory processed chemicals to … Continue reading One Bowl Brownies
Easiest Noodle Kugel
For those of you who may not know what noodle kugel is, it's a dish traditionally served at Jewish holidays (at least in my family!). It's basically a casserole made with a custard base and egg noodles, and is really yummy - it's almost like sweet mac & cheese with sour cream instead of cheese, … Continue reading Easiest Noodle Kugel
Spinach Leek Dip
Last week, I was lucky enough to be invited to my parents' and bother's houses for Rosh Hashanah, which meant I got two great holiday meals that I didn't have to host! Of course, my mom and sister-in-law each asked for a different contribution. For night one I made chocolate cheesecake which came out delicious, but … Continue reading Spinach Leek Dip
