This is a little taste of summer right in the middle of our Canadian Winter! Admittedly, this winter has so far, been very mild but I was craving a light and healthy summer-type meal and this fit the bill perfectly! You can make the souvlaki ahead of time, and toss these together in minutes at [...]
This week the tomatoes in my garden went crazy! Currently, I have eight of them sitting out on my deck, several ready to be picked in the garden and another half dozen in the fridge! All of these from only 3 little plants. I decided that today, tomato recipes were just the sensible thing to [...]
I am always on the look out for delicious and healthy recipes for my family, and am usually quite happy to try new recipe ideas. Yesterday I came across a simple-looking Moroccan Chicken recipe and decided to give it a go today. The results were good – not excellent as I had hoped for, but [...]

Nothing could be creamier, or easier than a simple Alfredo Sauce. I added both shrimp and chicken to mine this time as that’s what I had on hand, but you could also leave the meat out to suit a vegetarian palette. This sauce takes mere minutes to prepare and it absolutely divine – I won’t [...]
Many of us (myself included) are trying to eat healthier meals in an effort to shed a couple of extra pounds. That seems like a common proposition at this time of the year, especially considering the amount of “no-no’s” we eat during the holidays. This recipe I took and adapted slightly from a Weight Watchers [...]
Ever dream about food? I’m not too sure whether this is normal or not, but when you cook and bake as much as I do, I guess it stands to reason that it would play a role in my dreams from time to time. I know for a fact that I *daydream* about cheesecake – [...]
EASY!!! That’s really all I can say about this recipe. I was seeking some inspiration for dinner yesterday, so I asked my Facebook group to help me out (by the way, if you are not on my Facebook group yet, what are you waiting for?) We chat about food, share ideas, post pictures, have a [...]
Delicious, fresh and summery – this recipe was invented after a reader asked if I did much Asian cooking…I LOVE to make up new recipes, so I based this on a satay sauce recipe and added to it to make it perfect. This dish was superb, flavourful, and appealing to my fussy five-year-old too. Satay [...]
I really do love Jean Pare’s cookbooks. They are the epitome of Canadian cooking, and her no-fuss approach fits right in in the Cat Can Kitchen. I am constantly scouring garage sales for these treasured books (by now I’m sure I have at least 20 from her series.) My latest find “One Dish Meals” is [...]
