Butter chicken and naan bread are a staple dinner in our home. There is something magical about the blend of spices, the creaminess, and of course the fluffy buttery garlic naan (that may be my favorite part). Recently we found a way to make it even better, with the addition of a new product by […]

Creamy Seafood Linguine
In July we spent a week in Vancouver, BC for a family event. It was a whirlwind trip, and the highlight for sure was the proximity to the ocean. I love living near the prairies and the mountains, but every time I get near the ocean I get this yearning to spend more time there. […]
Fresh Pasta Family Night
Fresh pasta, the thing of gods… or people with the luxury of extra time. Which today in an odd turn of events we had. An entire day at home together. Jamie decided to make fresh pasta.
Crusty Dutch Oven Bread
Oh hey 2018! It’s been a while, but I am back! And with an awesome recipe to try and warm your soul from this frigid weather. After Christmas the family and I drove up north to see some of my aunts and cousins. It’s always a good time, they are welcoming and loving, and my […]
Spanakopita
Today I attempted to make the traditional and fussy Spanakopita with my children. And it was a disaster. A complete disaster. I wanted to make them because I know my husband loves them and we had a stupid fight this morning and I wanted to do something nice for him. So we hit up Walmart […]
Fried Chicken and Waffles

Cashew and Cardamom Tea Cake
Last week I was looking up recipes for coffee cake, and found a few that I liked, but being the experimenting baker that I am, I decided to make up a recipe for a tea cake instead. So many of my friends drink tea rather than coffee and I had some pomegranate and cardamom tea […]
Sourdough Doughnuts
I have been messing around with sourdough for the last few months, and just came across an Instagram account called @sourdough_mania that has some of the sexiest sourdough ideas I have ever seen. Little chef and I created a new sourdough starter early this week and I wanted to make something with it on this beautiful […]
Blueberry Dumplings
Last week we asked for some recipe suggestions from all of our blog followers and we had so many fun responses! Because we had so many responses I decided to do more than one of the recipes. Last night I made Blueberry Dumplings. I have to admit it was my first time and I had […]

January is hard. The Christmas cookies are gone, everyone is grumpy from all the kale, the kids are crazy from being locked up inside, and on top of all of that you have to think of something to make for dinner. Not to worry, I have a quick and easy dinner idea and recipe to […]
