Lasagna is not easy to get right. I don't know why people always offer to make it for school events, potlucks, birthdays, funerals... Growing up it seemed like something that would be easy to make because everyone was making it all the time. Let me assure you, it is not. I have made about a…
Mains
One Pan Chicken Fajitas
So a week or so ago I asked my lovely/readers/followers/fans (okay I won't push it...I take back the fans) what they wanted to see more of on my blog. The general consensus was that you would like more healthy, easy, mains and chocolate, duh. So I spent a good chunk of time yesterday (while half…
Curried Sweet Potato & Coconut Soup
This is similar to my last recipe, Hayden's Super Salad, in a few ways. For starters, I didn't come up with the recipe, and it's also made up of random bits we had laying around the kitchen. My mom took the curried sweet potatoes that we had left over from dinner the night before, added some…
Hayden’s Super Salad
I'm not one of those people that looks in a practically empty fridge, sees a few random ingredients and thinks "I'll make this amazing meal!". No, I am the person that looks in a practically empty fridge and decides to make toast or a jaffle (no shame in eating a jaffle, everyday for every meal...I…
MTC’s Bolognese
Have you ever told a lie so many times that even you started to believe it? I have. I lied that I didn't like ground meat (mince). I'm not really sure how this happened but long story short I actually do like ground meat, a lot. I came to terms with my love of ground…
Thanksgiving Pie
My parents (mainly my mom), love to ask questions. Not your average, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" or "who are you texting all the time?", more like "what country is your future husband/wife going to be from?" and "what type of food will you serve at your wedding?". Kind of…
Classic Meatballs
A few weeks ago I put up a recipe for the best red sauce ever, and I had quite a few people asking me where the recipe for meatballs was. Well, to be completely honest, I did make meatballs to go with that red sauce, I just didn't think they were the best meatballs ever. So I've…
Roadside Chicken Tacos
If you've ever been to Mexico (not, staying at a fancy hotel in Cabo, Mexico, but proper Mexico) you know how insanely good the smell of roadside chicken is. For those of you who don't know the smell, it is the best thing in the world. Spatchcocked chickens, marinated in a spicy, citrusy, delicious marinate…
Healthy Turkey Chili
One of my favorite recipes when I want something filling and cozy without going into a food coma immediately after eating (depending on how much sour cream and cheese you add...I add a lot). Eat on it's own or with any toppings you like- sour cream, avocado, tortilla chips, coriander (cilantro), hot sauce, lime, cheese..…
The Best Red Sauce Ever
When I'm excited about making something, I almost always ask my Mom or Dad for a recipe or their thoughts on what to do. So when I told my dad I wanted to make spaghetti and meatballs with a simple tomato sauce, he sent me the tomato sauce recipe from the Frankie Spuntino cook book…
