Good Morning Muffins
I was grating carrot to make carrot cake, which is always an arm workout, and I decided to keep going while I was on a roll and make these muffins. I call these Good Morning Muffins because Carrot Apple Coconut Walnut muffins is too long. They are a bit labour-intensive and about as healthy asContinue reading “Good Morning Muffins”

Thai Red Curry Chicken & Rice Soup
There’s a local grocery store near me that has an extensive take-out selection. On the day I tried their Thai Red Curry Soup I was on a mission to recreate it. Sadly, this isn’t it (I think theirs used shrimp too). But, my husband thought this was off-the-charts and gave me a speech about howContinue reading “Thai Red Curry Chicken & Rice Soup”
Cucumber Salad
On one of our favourite roads trips my husband and I ended up in Port Hope, Ontario at a fantastic road-side restaurant called the Shnitzel Shack. Not only was the food incredible (the eggplant parmesan sandwich was off-the-charts and enough for 3 meals), but the service was sooo sweet. We got their cucumber salad andContinue reading “Cucumber Salad”
Simple Creamy Coleslaw
This is a simple recipe, made even simpler if you buy prepackaged coleslaw mix and just make the dressing. I like a nice kale coleslaw mix. The key to good coleslaw, though, is time. It’s always better the next day because the liquid has leached out of the cabbage, making it more tender and lessContinue reading “Simple Creamy Coleslaw”
Healing Vegetable Soup
As someone who deals with various tummy issues sometimes I just need something simple to allow my gut to heal. This vegetable soup is so easy to make using coleslaw mix. I found a kale coleslaw mix, so I didn’t add the extra kale. For dinner I served with a two-ingredient bagel on the sideContinue reading “Healing Vegetable Soup”
