This salad isn’t a Waldorf salad in the traditional sense, but it takes a lot of the same great flavours of a Waldorf salad, and combines it with the power-house seed, quinoa. I made this Waldorf Inspired Quinoa Salad for supper one day while we were having BBQ beef ring and potato salad, it was [...]

Greek Quinoa Salad
Yum! If I had the ingredients on hand, I’d make this Greek Quinoa Salad again. But, I don’t have any feta cheese. Or quinoa right now either. Shoot, guess I’ll just have to be patient and wait a little longer. We (read “the adults”) really loved this salad. I can’t wait until the summer, when [...]
Fabulous Fruit Dip
The other day I was looking for a fruit dip. While we were at the grocery store, my boy asked if we could buy a pineapple. Both he and my daughter pick pineapple off of their pizza, so I thought…sure! Then you can eat pineapple, and see that it really is good. Mind you, the [...]
The Best Gluten-Free Chicken Fingers (Baked, not Fried!)
These really are the best gluten-free Chicken Fingers, and they are Baked, not fried! I hadn’t had great chicken fingers since going gluten-free, but now that has changed. These were great! And so nice too, because you know what kind of meat it is. It is so nice to know what you’re eating. Print [...]
Quinoa and Black Bean Salad
We had this Quinoa and Black Bean Salad for supper last night, together with Salsa Chicken and let me tell you, I’m really looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch. Before this past summer, I’d never had quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is like a gluten-free super food. It is loaded with protein and other vitamins [...]
Russian Mushroom and Potato Soup
This continues with my confession that I gave last time. I still have a problem with mushroom texture. Yep, I’m not a fan of it. Kinda rubbery. I ate this soup, and enjoyed it too, but I let my kids pick the mushrooms out. First off, the mushrooms that I used were an “Exotic [...]
Delicious Stuffed Peppers
I have a confession. For the first 30ish years of my life, I was a picky eater. We’re talking no onions. No peppers. No mushrooms. And definitely not any different kinds of cheeses & veggies. Phew…now I feel better. The good news is, I made a choice to try new things, new flavours, and new [...]
Winter Fruit Salad with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing
Alright, I know, it’s a lot of words in that one, but the flavours are worth saying all of that. I have made this salad twice in the past week. Once for a family gathering, where it was entirely devoured with everyone giving it two thumbs up, and again to get a decent picture of [...]
Carrot Apple Salad
First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I trust you all had a great holiday season, spending time with family & friends. We had our first snow storm of the winter on the 25th & 26th. Perfect timing, huh? Sheesh! So, some Christmas gatherings had to be rescheduled, but it all worked out. I also want [...]
