Had I known spending 5 minutes to prep a chicken and a couple of humble vegetables would turn into such a delightful meal, I would’ve started slow cooking whole chickens a looong time ago. And the gravy. THE GRAVY. I’m going to keep this simple, because there is not a single complicated thing about this…
Make Your Own
One Pan Deconstructed Cabbage Rolls
Admittedly, I grew up in a home where there wasn’t a ton of cooking going on. It was the 80s and 90s, both parents worked outside the home, and it was a time to shine for convenience foods. As a result, I have an ongoing soft spot for Shake n’ Bake, Rice-A-Roni, Ragu pasta sauce and…

I’ve been waiting for almost a year to post this fabulous recipe developed for our How to Eat More Veggies Together cookbook collaboration…

Just when you thought the How to Eat gals couldn’t possibly come up with one more rhubarb recipe…Tada! Strawberry Rhubarb Oat & Almond Crumble Bars. I don’t mean to be pushy. I’m just totally, utterly in love with rhubarb and I refuse to wait another year to sing it’s praises (via a delicious recipe). This…
Strawberry Rhubarb “Toaster Strudels” with Cream Cheese Icing
The big question is: are you Team Pop-Tart or Team Toaster Strudel? Personally, I’ve never seen the appeal in Pop-Tarts. They were SO popular when I was kid and even then, despite the ‘fun factor’, I found the pastry to be so dry and the filling so skimpy. And the chocolate flavour? They did not taste like…
