We are smoothie addicts in this house. I can put all sorts of healthy things into the blender (hello spinach!) and my three-year-old chugs it down, no hesitation. It’s a great way to get a healthy start to the day — no fuss, no muss, very little mess! And on those busy rush-out-the-door mornings? Very little excuse not to pop your concoction into a travel mug and ZOOM you’re done! Here are a few yummy recipes that I’ll be adding to my recipe box (aka…
During the winter months, I crave soups, chilis and stews. This past Christmas, my in-laws made taco soup for dinner instead of the traditional holiday menu and I have been craving it again this week. I finally made a pot on the stovetop last night and it was SO yummy and, of course, easy. (I only do easy, people)
When the weather cools down, I crave warm, hearty meals. Chili is a meal that my entire family can agree on, so we have it quite often. This chili recipe requires very little preparation and is SO easy to make. The sweet cornbread is simple to prepare as well and compliments the chili nicely. This recipe is also perfect for having family and friends over to watch a football game. For large crowds, just simply double the recipe.

The Olive Garden used to have the most amazing seafood dip, San Remo Dip, on their menu. Like any ‘good’ chain, they got rid of it. We were appalled, then we went to the interwebs and found our own recipe. All in all, a perfectly suitable substitute. A little on the thin side, so next time I would simmer for a longer amount of time till it’s nice and thick. Yum! Serve with your favorite bread sticks, sliced baguette or crackers.

Things are cooling down around here, and to me, the first week of fall is the perfect time to pull out my beloved crockpot! There’s nothing like coming home to a delicious smelling house after a long, stressful day of busying about! This recipe is one of my tried and true favourites, and thankfully, my daughter loves it as well. So grab your trusty slowcooker, and whip up a batch. Mmm, mmm.
