Happy weekend! So as it turns out, it’s pretty tough to juggle work, a baby, cooking dinner every night, everyday chores, a bit of a life, and a blog – so I may not be able to blog as often as I had hoped. The good news is, my recipe match-ups can be found at … Continue reading
Happy Friday! Quick post today with a few of my new recipe blog posts over at flyerland.ca. Click here for Cheeseburger Pie and here for slow cooker beef burritos. Both are totally delicious and easy. Enjoy! -Monica
I know, I know. I haven’t posted in 10 entire days. I have no excuse, other than the fact I was sick for much of last week, and then there was Thanksgiving. Ah, Thanksgiving. My favourite cooking holiday. This year, however, I had a little bit of a turkey disaster. Basically, the 16 pounder we … Continue reading
Yesterday I featured a Thanksgiving staple – the turkey. Today, I’ve got a great, simple recipe for another whole bird – one you may be a bit more familiar with – the chicken. I absolutely love roasting a chicken whole – the crispy skin, the juicy inside, and different parts to suit everyone’s tastes. The … Continue reading
As I promised you guys last week, today’s blog post is all about my famous Maple Butter turkey. I say famous because I cook it exactly twice per year (Thanksgiving and Christmukah dinner), for crowds of 12-25 people, and each one of those people claim it’s the best turkey they’ve ever had. I’m really not … Continue reading
I’ve been completely MIA this past week and I apologize – September is always so busy between the Jewish holidays, my sister-in-law’s birthday, my birthday and my dad’s birthday, I barely have time to do anything else. So expect more of me next week when things slow down a bit (definitely come visit next week, … Continue reading
I keep meaning to post this recipe, because it’s seriously the easiest, quickest tastiest chicken recipe out there. It’s so flavourful and tangy yet savoury and sweet all at once. I originally got the recipe from the witty in the city blog, who calls it ‘Man Pleasing Chicken’, and I’ve been sharing it with my … Continue reading
One of my favourite things about fall is butternut squash soup – and after a few years I’ve perfected my recipe. It’s creamy, spicy, and a bit sweet, and the perfect thing to warm up to on a crisp fall night. My recipe uses cream, but feel free to omit it if you want to … Continue reading
What a weekend! TIFF is going on here in the city (Toronto International Film Festival), so Toronto is buzzing with stars and stargazers alike. It was mine and D’s 4-year wedding anniversary on Friday, so we went to one of our favourite restaurants in the city, Harbour sixty. We were out of the central TIFF … Continue reading
We really enjoy our red meat around here. But I can’t stand fatty cuts or meat that is too chewy, so I like to turn to my slow cooker for certain types. One of those is flank steak, which tends to be a tougher cut but almost melts in your mouth after a good sitting … Continue reading
