So wow! It's MARCH! I was taking a quick glance over my blog and realized that the last time I updated it was in JANUARY!Anyway, it's not that I'm not cooking because I promise I am, I'm just apparently really bad at having time to type this with a little monkey getting into everything!Also, foods haven't been all that exciting lately. It's been a lot of the same repeated.Recently the baby was

So I promised you all an update on Friday on how we did on our $100 challenge this past week. Well, it's been a busy week so I'm sorry but I'm updating this on Tuesday night, technically Wednesday now I believe.Here's the breakdown of stuff.We spent a grand total of: $36.81Bear in mind we were using gift certificates for this first week so things might be a little higher next week BUT despite

We recently welcomed in the New Year and my husband and I started talking about how much money we spend on food in a month and at $500/month we decided it's time to try to cut back!The basic rules of the challenge are:1) You have $25/person to spend per week. This leaves our family of 3 with $75 per week for groceries.2) The $25 includes food only and not such things as food wrap or ziplock bags

I came across a recipe on a blog for Carnitas and decided to modify it to suite our tastes. The original recipe called for a lot more spices than I've used and with the modifications, both my husband and I decided it tasted amazing and should definitely be made again!So for your enjoyment,Pulled PorkIngredients:2 lbs Pork Shoulder roast1/2 Cup Orange Juice (low or no pulp)1/4 Cup Lime Juice1/4 +

So late (really late) Saturday night (possibly Sunday morning) my husband and I went to Sobeys to get some milk and I was HUNGRY!I really honestly didn't expect to find anything I could make easily at Sobeys but was pleasantly surprised to find that they did have a couple of pre-made items in stock in their freezer section!I was about to pick up a Glutino cheese pizza when this caught my eye. . .

So again tonight I made Shepherd's Pie and again there isn't a picture. There never is for Shepherd's pie because we always mean to take a photo but we always eat it too quickly. It's just too good and way to easy to make!However, I've been putting off posting this recipe until I get a picture but tonight I realized that I may NEVER remember to take a picture so I decided tonight to post this.

This morning I decided to try something new for breakfast. Quinoa Flakes (pronounced keen-waa). As you can see they look quite a lot like oatmeal and can be used in much the same way. The picture to the left is of the flakes before cooking. I didn't end up taking a picture afterwards but it was kind of a cross between cream of wheat and oatmeal in texure. Quinoa is an awesome grain that is

Lately it has been entirely too difficult to keep on top of this blog! With a camera full of baby pictures instead of food, and an adorable mini me, who wants to be carried around all day, unfortunately I'm not blogging as much as I probably could be at this point. :)Apologies to all of you but I figure she's only young once! :)So, tonight I give you a creation of leftovers thrown together in a

So the other night my husband is on his way home and he calls and says "what are we having for dinner?" Honestly I didn't know so I poked my head into the fridge, like so many of us do, and saw some gluten free bread and a pound of ground beef and decided on meatloaf.I didn't have a recipe for this though so it ended up being a whatever we have kind of thing so bear with me on the directions!

So to the left is what we were supposed to be making on Friday night for dinner. I took this picture the first time I made Kushari but never ended up getting it up on the blog. Unfortunately Friday went anything as planned and we ended up at my mother in law's house using her barbecue instead.Basically all h-e- double hockey sticks broke loose. lol.

Its hard to believe its March already! I ended up ignoring my blog a bit last month since we were just so busy!The 3 of us & the cat moved to a new city on March 1st. It's really amazing how much effort it can take to pack up a place and move to a different city in a month. We ended up doing all of the packing and moving in less than 2 weeks due to illness and the fact that we only just found

This is last night's dinner. There was no official recipe for this. It was more thrown together. I was actually browsing an online recipe site when I saw the words pizza potato casserole. I was far too busy last night to cook and so my husband made what I told him to.Basically I told him to make mashed potatoes and add various things to them. Here is our "recipe".Pizza Mashed Potatoes:

Cook With Campbell's - Italiano Chicken and Rice BakeI found this recipe on Campbell's website and modified the recipe very slightly. I omitted the mushrooms because my husband doesn't like them and added more zucchini in place of them. I also used chicken legs instead of breasts. Because Campbell's cream of mushroom soup is not gluten free, we used Gardennay Harvest mushroom with Real Cream

So we're having company this weekend and I thought it would be nice to be able to offer them some baked goods. Also, since I've been breastfeeding I feel incredibly hungry and there isn't much time to eat anything with much nutritional value so I thought I would like to have some muffins around to munch on. Being Celiac though you can't just run out to the store/ Tim Horton's or McDonald's or

So I'm definitely no expert when it comes to cooking but I'm not particularly crazy about the cost of a loaf of gluten free bread. So I guess you could say my New Years resolution was to figure out a way to make decent tasting and textured gluten free bread that was also reasonably priced!I had gone on a website that offered a seemingly simple recipe for a gluten free bread but after a trip to

I know, I've been hugely slacking on the recipe posts but I haven't been cooking lately. My husband and I were pleased to announce the birth of our daughter in December and since then life has been really crazy!Luckily before hand we managed to prepare some frozen meals thanks to this cookbook, The Big Cook. They're pretty healthy and we motified them to be gluten free. The recipes are for

So I was actually given these by someone else so I don't know exactly how expensive they are or where to buy them around here at the moment.I did, however, feel that I had to do a product review because I was pretty impressed by the taste and texture of these.I haven't really had much luck previously with gluten free wraps since most of the time they're made with rice flour and although they

Unfortunately there's no picture for this post. Hubby and I were far too hungry by the time dinner was ready and before we knew it it was eaten! However, I couldn't not post it with the reviews. It was so very good and nicely filling. Hubby said he loved it and we'll "definitely be having it again!" so hopefully we'll get a photo up another time. The intention was to make a soup/ stew that

So I was looking for something particularly easy to throw together for dinner and possibly end up with some left overs since I'm not really getting too far with the freezer dinners for after the baby is born.So I decided to use my normal recipe for Chili and double it to freeze some. Anyway it's super easy and very good!Obviously everyone prefers their chili at a different degree of spicyness so

So it's been another lazy Saturday. Didn't accomplish much today as hubby is still on nights so we don't get up really all that early. However, we did make a couple yummy recipes from left overs we had in the fridge. :)I figured to save my sanity I would include both of these recipes in this one post since they were lunch and dinner in the same day.As you can probably see, the common element in

So I have never done a product review on this blog before and it wasn't my intention to use this site for this reason but sometimes some things are just that good.A couple days after Halloween I sent hubby to the drug store to dig through the left over candy that was supposed to be 50% off. I thought this would be a great opportunity to get some deals. Specifically I was looking for potato chips

Well it's Halloween weekend! The cute goblins and witches will be at the door trick or treating on Saturday night and it's getting to the time of the year where the air is fresh and it's starting to get cold outside!Some people refer to it as Indian Summer. At any rate the fall weather is a very good excuse to make some nice warm and hardy soup!Hubby and I both enjoyed this warm creation served

I promise I'm not really a terrible blogger. I just get frustrated when I start typing something and it all disappears! When this happened twice in a row I decided to take a break and come back later. Who would have known that later would mean October?!Anyway, it's Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada.

So it's been a few days since I updated this blog. Things around here have been pretty busy and I haven't had a chance to catch up. :) Unfortunately I had the flu last week so I didn't get much cooking done but the pregnancy hormonal cooking has continued this week.In this post I've included a couple of recipes for what I'd consider to be snacks but of course you could serve the peaches as

So we had some food left over in the fridge as usual and lettuce is one of those things that you can't really leave sitting for more than a few days or it goes brown way too fast!So I looked up some recipes for lettuce and then one inspired me to come up with this! :)So for your enjoyment, a still unofficially named recipe that I thought was really really good. I couldn't wait to put it up.

So I had some random stuff in the house and decided to create a salad to cover my tuna requirement for the week. :)It's kind of a cross between a taco salad and a regular veggie salad I guess. Just random. I'm sure you could add different veggies if you wanted but like I said, I used what I had on hand. :)Tasted good though I'd probably classify it almost more in the nacho category and we were

So after a few tries at cooking Tofu I can't say I'd been really impressed well, ever. However, when your dietitician is saying it would be good for you to eat it and your husband accidentally bought 2 blocks instead of one and you don't want to waste anything you start thinking, what could I do with this?!So I thought, I wonder if you could cook tofu on a George Foreman grill? Apparently you

So being gluten free doesn't make it very easy to find chinese take out at all which at times, especially when you're pregnant, can feel kind of depressing so when I found a recipe online for "so easy pork Lo Mein" on foodgeeks.com I thought this could be good!! Anyway, unfortunately/ fortunately I didn't have most of the vegetables included in the recipe and I'm even a bit lazier than the

So as promised I have included yet another recipe made with tuna. For those of you who enjoy tuna I'm guessing you're pretty happy with this idea and for those of you who, like me, think it's grose I promise you this really isn't that bad. In fact, it was actually pretty good.I decided to make something that didn't involve noodles this time around. Unfortunately the picture didn't come out as

So I had an appointment with the dietitian last week and apparently pregnant women are supposed to eat low mercury sources of fish twice a week, every week!Personally I have never been a "fish" person. I just don't care for the taste. Pre-pregnancy I would eat the occasional shrimp on New Years and about once a month I might eat some tuna casserole or some other form of hidden fish. :)

So we made fried rice for dinner tonight. Reasonably quick, and easy to make and pretty yummy too! I'd like to add that I think it works out to being pretty cheap too! Something I don't think anyone is going to complain about. :)This recipe probably serves 4 by itself. Maybe more if you serve something with it.Anyway here are some pictures for your enjoyment!Here's the recipe:Ingredients:2

So a couple of people had requested a couple recipes for pictures of foods I had previously posted to facebook. I had promised them these recipes ages ago, intending to eventually put them on a website but since that website is very far from being done, here are the recipes for those dinners!The top picture is of Bean & Rice Nachos and the bottom recipe is of Gluten free/Noodle free Lasagna.

So it's been a few days anyway since I last updated this. I'm not great at getting new posts done. This has always been a problem I've had with blogs but I'm still better at getting recipes up than diary style stuff. :)So, I thought I'd include a couple recipes in this one. This is from Sunday night and Tuesday night. I wasn't crazy about Monday night so I didn't take a picture of it. My husband,

Welcome to my blog! In the future this blog will hopefully be linked to a much larger recipe website as a side note but since I have no idea when that will happen, in the meantime I'm using this blog to post some recipes and share a bit about myself. :)So I was previously an Administrative Assistant now turned stay at home cat mom until the birth of our first child, due in December!It all
