Best baked salmon

Best baked salmon

This is one of my specialty that my dad taught me. I remember him baking salmon and showing me exactly what to do, talking about making sure it is not overcooked (I really don’t like overcooked salmon). I now make it quite often and it …

Chicken Rice Lemon Egg Soup

Chicken Rice Lemon Egg Soup

One of the best soup I have ever had!!!!! I discovered this soup when a friend helped me out for a fundraiser last year. I created a cookbook with recipes from friends and families, and this recipe is one of them. It’s healthy,comforting and refreshing all at once!! Lol I will usually make it in advance and have it ready for lunches or when I have to feed a crowd (a lot more often than you think 😉)

Butter And Sage Gnocchi

Butter And Sage Gnocchi

  1. My husand love gnocchi and so do my children. Ok ok…me too!! Lol My favourite way of eating them is when I sautée them in butter because… butter! This sage and butter version is one of many but a true favourite of mine!! The recipe makes about 4 portions for a side served with veggies. If you make it a main it would only serve 2.
Mushroom “pizza”

Mushroom “pizza”

I love mushrooms… I mean LOVE mushrooms!!!! I can’t remember how this recipe came to be but I know it was to lower my carb intake. I love carbs especially bread ( check out my cast iron white bread), but in order for me to stay healthy I can’t have too much all day everyday. Trust me I would if I could! Lol I like mushrooms on my pizza and these just taste like it!!! You would be surprised how succulent they are!!! They are basically just like pizza, you can top them with whatever you want, the sky is the limit! I always use things I have in the fridge and it ALWAYS involves cheese!!! Lol I made 2 different ones to take a picture for the blog but, again, you could use any combination!!!

Dairy free “creamy” meatballs

Dairy free “creamy” meatballs

My older sister came over a couple of weeks ago and brought a spaghetti squash and butternut squash she was not sure what to do with. Her husband cannot have dairy so I had to make sure my recipes exluded dairy. We ended up making linguini with a “creamy” butternut squash sauce and spaghetti squash with dairy free “creamy” meatballs. I still have to perfect the butternut squash sauce but the meatballs on spaghetti squash were absolutely amazing!!!!! You can serve them over rice, mashed potatoes or pasta. I have eaten them over spaghetti squash and cauliflower rice too for a low carb option.

Pâté Chinois

Pâté Chinois

Pâté chinois is a dish from Quebec that my older sister loves to make. It has now become a dish that is on rotation at my house. My kids love it and I often change it up to use what I have in the fridge.
