This easy roasted broccoli and cheddar soup can be made in 20 minutes and served as a main course or as an appetizer. I love to bring it for a filling but light lunch. Jonny absolutely loves broccoli. He could eat it with every meal so when I asked if he wanted broccoli soup for dinner…
Creamy Lemon Mushroom Pasta (Date Night)
This is my sisters famous lemon mushroom pasta (hi Shawna!!). She made it for me a few times over the years and I never forgot it. Just last week I emailed her hoping she still remembered the recipe. It turns out she still makes it! It is a rich dish that is perfect for a…
Oil and Vinegar Slaw
In a mission to be less of a slacker I have stepped up my meal planning game for 2016. I have some meals coming up this week that are going to be ah-making. Grilled smoked pork chops, and slow cooked pork ribs are both on the menu this week and I can’t think of a…

Loaded Baked Potato Soup
There is this restaurant in Welland that makes a pot of loaded baked potato soup that is to die for. It is thick and rich and sticks to your ribs. I don’t think I ever finished a whole bowl but that made Jonny happy knowing he could finish it for me. When I realized I…
Brown Sugar Fudge
Oh…my..god…fudge. So fudge is the kinda thing you should make and share with your friends, family, neighbors, anyone at all really. This is not something you should make when you are home alone for the week (like I did). I wasn’t truely alone. Jonny started back in college a couple weeks back and therefore it’s like I…
