I’ve been using this recipe for Easy and Quick Homemade Buns for some time now. It’s super easy and comes together quick! I usually double the recipe, because the boys eat these up rather quickly around here so feel free to double the recipe as well if you have ravenous teenagers at your place too! You can sub out some of the white flour for whole wheat if you like. – 1 envelope of instant yeast – 1 1/4 cup warm water – 1/3 cup oil (I used olive oil) – 1/4 cup sugar (you could sub honey, just reduce the amount by a little) – 1 egg – 1…

Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas with Creamy Tomatillo Sauce
I’ve been on a bit of a ‘Mexican Kick’ lately and these Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas with Creamy Tomatillo Sauce are worth you joining the Mexican food bandwagon with me. My husband and I just recently visited Cabo San Lucas and our Sobey’s here in town just started selling tomatillo’s….so it was pretty much meant to be! When I’m looking for some authentic Mexican flavor Rick Bayless is one of my go-to resources. I am usually very happy with any of his recipes and it brings me back to our travels throughout Mexico.

It was actually rather productive. I like to rummage through my fridge just before a grocery shop and see how I can use up what is remaining.…

Loaded BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato Fries
So we’ve been trying to eat healthier around here….well this week so far anyway. I’m actually feeling pretty great and have behaved myself all week! But Friday’s are typically our pizza night or nacho night…and beer and wine…you know ‘treat night’. Kind of like a reward for a hard weeks work. So I was still craving something ‘snacky’ for tonight’s meal. I decided to try to lighten up our traditional nachos and baked off some lovely sweet potato fries, which I topped off with black beans, green onions, shredded bbq chicken spiked with a bit of chipolte, my homemade pickled jalepenos, red peppers and just a weee bit of cheese.…

Linguini Puttanesca
I’ve decided to get back to food blogging. Stay tuned as I switch websites and update this with many tasty treats…..Here’s an oldie to tide you over until then: Rumor has it that this pasta was created long ago by the women of the night to lure clients in with the smell of garlic and anchovies and olives….it definitely lures me in – although I have a problem when it comes to pasta – a serious problem. Here’s what you need: – Anchovies or Anchovy Paste about 2 tbsp of paste or a 2-3 anchovies – 4 cloves Garlic – 1 large handful of Kalamata Olives (or another variety would…
