When my kids were little, the first morning of the weekend meant nothing more than a couple of episodes Scooby-Doo, a load or two of laundry and a leisurely breakfast of pancakes or waffles. Times have changed for us and I’m sure many of you are in the same boat. [...]

Fisherman’s Soup Recipe with Tilapia, Shrimp, Tomatoes & Capers

Oct 26, 2012

This richly flavored, but simple, fisherman’s soup is filled with tilapia (or other white fish), shrimp and a spicy tomato broth. Considering the depth of flavor, it is surprisingly healthy and low-fat. When I was about 11 years old, my dad and I loaded up the car, Canadian singer Anne Murray’s silky voice cued up [...]

Grilled Corn Salad Recipe with Cherry Tomatoes & Basil

Aug 21, 2012

Six days. That’s how much time is left before my boys go back to school. I’ll be honest – there’s a side of me that relishes the thought of regaining some semblance of a daily schedule, getting extra time to take care of my to-do list and savoring moments of quiet. But then, all that [...]

Roasted Tomato Sandwich Recipe with Goat Cheese & Balsamic Syrup

Aug 15, 2012

There’s a reason why there are festivals and parties dedicated to the tomato. The allure of a freshly picked specimen, still warm from the sun, is rivaled by no other summertime vegetable (okay, I know it’s technically a fruit, but I’m sticking with the vegetable theme right now).

Summertime Frittata Recipe with Artichoke, Tomato & Basil

Jul 13, 2012

Last week I was alone in the house. Completely alone…for three whole days. My husband and the boys took a road trip to visit my brother-in-law and girlfriend while I was getting ready for a blog-related trip.

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 [...]
