One of my favourite types of food was Mediterranean food. I could have happily lived solely on it. Well, okay maybe that's not true because I loved eating a great number of styles of food but I could have eaten a whole lot more! Except octopus! I draw the line on my beloved Mediterranean food … Continue reading Pork Souvlaki And Home-Made Tzatziki

Cousin Kim’s Healthy Chicken Burgers
My cousin Kim is a beautiful woman who, for some reason believes that she needs to lose weight. Isn't that how it is with us women? We are sooooo hard on ourselves! Even me! In my last post about shopping, I put a picture of myself with my pink hair extensions. Do you know what … Continue reading Cousin Kim’s Healthy Chicken Burgers
A Simple Sauce For Stir-Fries
This simple sauce I used a great deal when I was a vegetarian. I would either use fresh vegetables or use a bag of frozen mixed vegetables. It was such a simple meal which is why I don't know why I stopped using it when I started eating meat again. For whatever reason, I did … Continue reading A Simple Sauce For Stir-Fries
Balsamic Honey Pork Tenderloin
Summer is coming and that means...Grilling Season Has Begun! Woo-hoo! I love this time of year.

Slow Cooker Pot Roast
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
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
