There is something so tummy warming about the combination of squash with curry! The roasted red pepper drizzle is a nice, colourful touch. There is a very small amount of milk or cream to give the soup a bit of body and a bit of richness and a bit more deliciousness. Makes 6 Servings 2 […]
It’s Russian Soul Food! Borscht is a part of my family heritage. During the year there are times when “I just gotta have some”. When I eat borscht, my Husband says it’s like I am having a religious experience! The version in my recipe section is not the purple, beety one, it is more of a vegetable soup. […]
Another one of our favourite quick breads. It’s so good with soups, chili or a main course salad. I love baking with buttermilk as it provides such a nice flavour and crumb to the finished product. Makes One 8 x 8” Pan 2 large eggs ¼ cup sugar ½ cup unbleached flour ½ cup wholewheat […]
Soups like this one, make for a really nice, warm meal, especially on a cold, rainy or snowy night! I often make soups on the weekend for a no-fuss meal or two during the week. Crusty bread or rolls are all you need! Makes 10 Servings 1 Tbsp. EVOO ¾ lean ground beef 2 ½ cups […]

Make some guacamole & salsa to serve with corn chips and there you go! Makes […]

Or…what do you do when you walk into the butcher shop and staring back at you is a great deal on pork neck bones? My chef/neighbour has been making pork broth for Asian noodle soups for a while now and God knows, who doesn’t love noodle soup? We buy some, that turns out to be […]
One of my passions is menu planning! It was almost the best part of my job running a corporate dining room! I have accordion files full of recipe clippings that I haul out for inspiration and have been known to spend hours looking through them. Lately, and it seems to happen at this time […]
Wow…I’ve had a busy week! Time for a break to let you in on all the stuff that I’ve been cooking and we’ve been eating! It’s “the season of the braise” and who doesn’t love that and a good pot of turkey soup? That soup wraps it up around here as far as the […]
For a printer friendly version of this recipe, click here Guess what I found while rummaging around in my freezer? You guessed it, the carcass from the roast turkey! Some people don’t like okra; I don’t happen to be one of them! If you don’t have a turkey carcass, simply buy turkey drumsticks and wings and […]
