I always loved Swedish Meatballs when I could eat solid food! I don't know what Ikea is like outside of Canada but here they have a little restaurant in the middle of their maze, a food cart like area after the cashiers and a place where you can buy frozen foods or pantry items. If … Continue reading Swedish Meatballs

Chicken Meatballs
I think that theses chicken meatballs look really easy and delicious! You could make them with ground turkey (Alison) if you prefer.
If you don’t have any string cheese sticks, you can omit it or use other cheese. Mozzarella would be nice!
Happy cooking!
I’ve had an emotional day. I can’t tell you exactly why, but I’m pretty sure it has a lot to do with my hashimotos disease. Sometimes I’m super grumpy and I cry or get angry for no reason at all. For whatever reason cooking makes me feel better. Why shouldn’t I go ahead and make some lunches for the little munchkin? I always like to have food that is processed as little as I possibly can. I really hate to send things that are unhealthy. I have a really hard time not giving him as much healthy food as I can. I guess this stems from my fear that my own health problems might be given to him. We live in a country where most of our residents are insulin resistant and a lot are starting to show signs of having things like hashimoto’s and grave’s disease. This isn’t something that I want for Cooper. I…

Well to that I say, "Faak that!". We all need more - ummmm...Oh Yes moments! Enter deep-fried zucchini sticks! Can I get a big Oh yes from everyone?! I used … Continue reading Deep Fried Zucchini Sticks
Home-Made Egg Rolls
My family has a tradition of gathering at one particular Chinese food restaurant. It is THE Chinese food place to go to and share a meal! The place is a little hole in the wall (which in my opinion always makes a great place) called Gows. It's in the west end of Ottawa in a … Continue reading Home-Made Egg Rolls
Roasted Tomato & Goat Cheese Bruschetta
I never was much of a bread eater unless it was in the following category. Rye, whole grain or those very dense home-made breads. I also liked toasted bread to plain bread which is where my love of Bruschetta came in! And of course the roasted tomatoes and cheeses. This recipe is a favorite of … Continue reading Roasted Tomato & Goat Cheese Bruschetta
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
Garlic Shrimp
I used to love to cook. It was my stress reliever. I would come home from work, have 1 beer - yes only 1 - and go through the fridge and see what inspired me. I would tend to just throw a bunch of things together and see what turned out. The mixing of ingredients … Continue reading Garlic Shrimp
