I really like a good curry, but not a super *hot* one. The great thing about making your own curries, is you control the amount of spice and may also customize them to your liking! This delicious recipe is on today’s dinner menu, and goes great with naan bread and chutney.

It’s been really cold here these past few weeks. Rick Mercer from CBC has been known to refer to these short days of winter as the “Canadark” and agreeably, it sure feels like we’re in the midst of that right now. I find myself pining away for my gardens. I miss the herb garden the [...]
Tonight’s dinner is a hearty stew made with beef, carrots and potatoes – that’s just about it! You don’t need to get crazy with tons of ingredients in order to make a tasty dish like this one. This is perfect to make ahead and just stick in the oven and cook until ready.

Those of you who frequently visit my blog, know by now that I am all about the easy recipes, and simplifying cooking. So, I decided that today, I would make the stewing beef in my fridge into my own version of Boeuf Bourguignon. It was not authentic (as far as I know) but it was [...]

I was so inspired by the movie, that I decided to try one of the main recipes in it; Boeuf Bourguinon! So, having never made Boeuf Bourguinon, I am going to attempt it today. I will *not* [...]
This is yet another yummy, and fast recipe from my kitchen. They are really good also with some salad (or shredded lettuce) either inside the wrap, or on the side! Either way, this recipe has a lot of garlic – so best not to serve on date night

I have several recipes I’ve invented for chili over the years, I tend to just add in this and that as I find things in the fridge and cupboard. I think one of my favorite chili’s, was the one I made tonight. Easy, low fat, great tasting…the perfect meal at the end of a busy [...]
I invented this recipe for tonight’s dinner. It’s a slightly altered version of my popular Butter Chicken Recipe. This one could also easily be made vegetarian by omitting the beef (or chicken) and using chick peas, potatoes or a combination of both!
I decided to keep the calories and fat low by using only [...]
