This super fun family meal was a huge success around here. My 11 year old daughter ate 3 bowls and the little ones were so curious they forgot to fuss about the “green stuff”. Sushi bowl is a great “make it yourself” kind of meal, so this isn’t actually an organized recipe. It is all… Continue reading Carlifornia roll sushi bowl
One pan chicken and rice
I am on a roll of easy, as few steps as possible recipes these days. Between moving yet again to a new place, finding my steps in a French speaking town, going back to school to learn a new trade and not breaking my neck in the ice and snow outside, I am tired. But… Continue reading One pan chicken and rice

Perfect Grilled Chicken Breast
My husband is the ‘man meet grill’ kinda guy. Rain or shine, he is ready to jump outside and char us some meat.

This chicken recipe is a must… Continue reading Perfect Grilled Chicken Breast

The problem with eggplants is that in order to make them at home, I was taught to slice them, sprinkle them with salt and wait for them to sweat.

It really can't get easier then this, or more delicious. Slices from this turkey breast recipe feed my family for days, are great warm or cold (my personal favorite) and make kick ass sandwiches, salads and stir-frys.

Quick and Easy Barley Mujaddara
Forget the ease of this recipe and the awesome nutritional benefits of eating a (tasty!) complete vegetarian protein. Mujaddara is one of the most beloved middle eastern foods due to its simplicity (it's still just rice and lentils) but complex flavors. It is a wonderful side dish to any meat or fish but will also make… Continue reading Quick and Easy Barley Mujaddara
