We have had the lovely pleasure of a visit from our son Jarrod and his wife Anook visiting from Montreal. We have been visiting, beach walking, and most happily feasting! The first night we had my Vegetarian Lasagna with a garden salad. Then the next day we pulled out the BBQ for Organic Cheese Burgers [...]

We do love our soup in this household. Now that I think of it, this recipe is also Vegan – not a speck of animal protein in this soup whatsoever. There are other tomato style soups on my blog, as well as Vegetarian, but I think this is the second Vegan soup I have ever [...]

Usually with any stew I make, I load it with lots of vegetables. In this dish, the vegetables were served on the side. If Beef or Chicken is used, normally I like to cook with wine in the dish. It lends such a richness to the gravy, and tenderizes the meat as well. Traditionally Beef [...]

Tonight we had a most wonderful “comfort” food meal. Like many places around the world, we too are experiencing a most dreadful spring. Last week was fabulous…out came the BBQ, sunscreen was applied, garden work was being done. Five days…yes five glorious days. Then the rain, wind and cold set back in…we are freezing! I [...]

This was such a quick and easy meal to put together. It helps if you have leftover roasted chicken, and leftover cooked rice. Why do I never have this kind of meal on hand when I have my busiest days?? I must keep reminding myself to plan ahead and get more organized. Maybe one day [...]

Well….when this recipe first began, I certainly did not expect this dish. No, absolutely not. It all started with the beginning of a simple Marinara Sauce. Then work intervened. The Marinara went into the fridge.
Then began the lean ground beef and cheese mixture…still not sure where this was going to go. Then the now forgotten [...]

A friend gave me this gluten free recipe on a recipe card – it was actually for rice krispie bars. I did change up the ingredients – if I can replace sugar and corn syrup in a recipe all the better. But as a result the bars did not work. So rather than throw away [...]

As I may have mentioned previously, years ago when healing from Celiac Disease I made the choice to heal naturally. I have never done well with medication of any kind, including aspirin! I wanted to get vitamin packed nutrients from vegetables of all kinds. We bought an inexpensive juicer and at that time regularly made [...]

This was a dish that was inspired by Jamie’s Meals In Minutes. Jamie’s dish was made with chicken which would be wonderful here. I took a few hints from his recipe and came up with my own. Now as much as I love Jamie - and yes I so do, he uses very hot peppers. [...]

I have been trying different ways to use Kefir milk….this one is a winner. I have marinated chicken in non-dairy milk with vinegar before and it was delicious. Kefir milk takes this to a whole new level. If you have Kefir milk – give it a try, you won’t be disappointed! This recipe is also [...]
