Cucumber Salad

Cool like a cucumber. We’d have to agree, cucumbers are cool and we’re pretty sure most people would agree. It’s the one vegetable that usually can sneak in kids lunches, on an appie tray, a restaurant salad and won’t be left. We love it’s versatility pairing with different food and […]

Not Always Breakfast

Hashbrown Waffles

We are fully aware that there’s not much better than waffles. In fact, we know some of you reading this will argue there is absolutely nothing better than a waffle. Although to be honest, sometimes we do wish they had a little more food value and a little more protein to […]

Appetizers

Bacon Scallops

Proudly Canadian born and raised, we both love foods from land and sea. Our country which borders ocean waters allows us to have some of the most delicious seafood options. One of our favourites has to be scallops. If you’ve never prepared scallops before, don’t be intimidated. They are one […]

Blue Cheese Stuffed Burgers

Christmas – there were caramel popcorn balls. Halloween – the caramel popcorn was passed along in the loot. Birthday parties had bowls full […]

Beets.  We LOVE growing them in the garden.  It seems as though every year we continue to add more rows as we explore all the different variations.  The best part?!? We continue to also have a bigger harvest and more beets at the end.  This leaves us questioning what can […]

Pasta

Momma’s Lasagna

When it’s literally FREEZING outside, is there truly anything that warms you with a dinner option like lasagna?! We think not. ​As we write this blog the outside world is cold. Did we tell you… REALLY cold?! The forecast looks like a HIGH of -24˚C for this week. We’re scared […]
