I always loved to cook! Baking, mmmmmmm...not so much. I was getting more into baking when I was diagnosed with ALS but sadly that never came to fruition. Such is life. When I would bake, I had to follow a recipe to the letter and even then my cakes were flat and hard. I probably … Continue reading Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Hummus
I loved eating Hummus! I bought it all the time but let's be honest. Buying hummus is pretty expensive especially when you compare the price of buying it to making it from scratch. And it's so easy to make! Hummus is a dip or spread made of pureed garbanzo beans (chickpeas) of Middle-Eastern decent. I … Continue reading Hummus
Hertha’s “Lemon Meringue Pie” Cake
The second best cake in the world!
This Week’s Sales – Flyer Report
I would like to start by saying "Come On Metro! Get With The Program!"!!! I mean really? Both Walmart and Loblaws have had online shopping in this area for well over a year! What are you waiting for? It's clearly a success here. I will add that should Metro get on board, I would dump … Continue reading This Week’s Sales – Flyer Report
Rhubarb Crumble Cake
There is something about rhubarb that screams spring! I remember being a kid and picking a piece of rhubarb to snack on with some sugar. Or Mom would cook it down with sugar so we could spread it on toast. Yum! I'm drooling just thinking about it! This recipe is a great way for you … Continue reading Rhubarb Crumble Cake
Aunt Paul’s Amazing Carrot Cake
This is the BEST cake in the world! I say that being a person who was never really into eating cake...unless it was this cake! There is only one other cake that I loved before I got ALS but I'll give you that recipe another day. Now that I can no longer eat food by … Continue reading Aunt Paul’s Amazing Carrot Cake
Weekly Flyer Report
This week is all about Easter. I will say that while Walmart is being sneaky they still have pretty good pricing. Of course that's only when you can get the promoted products. You'll see what I mean... Walmart: pork tenderloin (if you can find it because I can't online), Armstrong cheese blocks, Neilson butter - … Continue reading Weekly Flyer Report
Walmart – Sneaky Buggers!
For those of you that are just joining us, I would like to talk about Walmart for a moment. They have been very sneaky lately... Ever since the beginning of the new year, Walmart has been focussing on an advertising campaign that is mainly centered on their "New Lower Prices". Yes, it was fantastic seeing … Continue reading Walmart – Sneaky Buggers!
Bean Soup
This is a recipe that an old friend had taught me. It's a recipe from his Mother who is an amazing cook. The Mraz's come from Czechoslovakia. Yes, I know that is not correct anymore. I'll tell you why I say that. We were having an excellent meal at the Mraz's home one day and … Continue reading Bean Soup
Broccoli Salad
This salad is a favorite of mine. I don't know why I didn't make it more often because I only ever made it on the holidays. I really should have made it more often because it's such a simple salad! I didn't always add the bacon, in fact I rarely did. It does add a … Continue reading Broccoli Salad
