Irish Stew Recipe with Lamb, Potatoes and Guinness Beer

Last year in my Asian Quesadilla with Hoisin Sauce post (a decidedly non-Irish dish), I told you about my youngest son’s (T) run-in with a wiley leprechaun. He darn near caught the emerald-clad little bugger. Just a minute earlier and we would have had him! This year, we’ll have to lay out a different kind [...]

Aug 27, 2012

I won’t deny it, I love autumn. When Labor Day rolls around, I go through the necessary motions, pretending that I’ll desperately miss the dog days of summer. Inside, I am busting out my Saturday Night Fever moves and doing a happy dance for the cool days and crisp air that are just around the [...]

Grilled Flank Steak Salad with Smoked Paprika Dressing Recipe

Jul 2, 2012

Maybe it’s the fireworks or the parades, but the beginning of July always feels like the start of one big summertime party. Yesterday, July 1st, was Canada Day and my family honored the day with a rousing (if not overly-dramatic and out-of-tune) rendition of “O Canada!” as we sat down at the breakfast table. Given [...]

Beer-Marinated Grilled Flank Steak with Peach & Tomato Salsa Recipe

Jun 11, 2012

When I think of Father’s Day meals, I think of something you can rip with your teeth while emitting deep-throated caveman grunts. Something that can be washed down with a beer and followed by an appreciative belch. A skinless chicken breast or delicately skewered shrimp just won’t do on Father’s Day. It’s got to be [...]

Greek Grilled Lamb Chops Recipe with Tomato, Cucumber & Kalamata Olive Salad

Jun 6, 2012

Yes, I realize it was just a few days ago that I posted Ten Vegetarian Recipes for the Grill and then a vegetarian pasta salad (with plenty of variations) just a couple of days later. I realize I’m swaying between extremes, like a bungi-jumper standing on a precipice, trying to decide if he’s completely nuts [...]

Super Bowl Recipes: Chili, Wings, Dips and More

Feb 1, 2012

“Only five more days, Mum.” That was the greeting yesterday morning. No “Good morning, Mum”, no hug – just the countdown to football’s biggest day of the year. If you don’t follow NFL news, my son would want me to tell you that his beloved New York Giants are playing the New England Patriots in [...]

Lean Bison & Barley Soup Recipe with Green Peas

Jan 6, 2012

Yes, I’m at it again – messing with tried-and-true favorites and likely making several traditionalists out there roll their eyes in exasperation. What’s the point in changing your standby beef and barley soup recipe? Don’t get me wrong. I still have a soft spot in my heart for beef-packed soups. However, since we’re doing this [...]

Recipes for Good Health & Weight Loss in 2012

Jan 2, 2012

Typically at this time of year I am lamenting my jeans’ unwillingness to cooperate with my waistline. This year things are a little different. The kind of different that makes clothes shopping fun again, the kind of different that makes me crave exercise and fresh air, the kind of different that makes me feel better [...]

Baked Pasta Shells with Beef, Sundried Tomatoes & Spinach Recipe

Sep 26, 2011

I had a bit of an unpleasant surprise last week. Being a food blogger means that I’m constantly thinking about new recipes and typically experiment with a wide variety of seasonal ingredients. As they teach my kids in school, I try to “eat the rainbow”. Eating a wide variety of colors, such as red, orange [...]
