Tasty Morsels to Share and Inspire
I’ll admit it – I’m a diehard Flames fan. If we’re not going to a game, we’re watching one (or taping it to watch later!) I wasn’t always this fanatical about it, but I guess once you become a hockey mom and have three other…
A two-week itinerary It all started when we watched a cooking show on the Food Channel about lobster suppers in Prince Edward Island. We salivated over the luscious lobsters as the guests hungrily cracked them open on the church basement tables. We made up our…
When I lived in res at university, I always remember exam time. Not just for the stress, the cramming, and the all-nighters — but also for the amazing care packages my roommate Cathy got from her mom to “fuel our studies.” Cathy’s mom Cherry was a home economics teacher and, as you can imagine, everything in packed in that box was homemade and to die for!
My mom also knew when to send along my favorite treats. When I had just about enough of my usual staple – fries and gravy — from the res cafeteria. When I couldn’t stomach one more pepperoni pizza. When I longed for comfort food from home. And then the message comes that there’s a package waiting for me at the student post office. Sweet! I just knew I was getting a box full of yum!
Here’s some recipes for those homemade goodies. Give them a try and surprise someone with some love from home – you’ll definitely make their day!
With all that I’ll let you in on a little secret. When life gets in the way and you don’t have time to bake and send something, here’s a hack: call Campus Care Packages! I used them to deliver a box of goodies a few times to my son and he said it was great!
The best granola recipe ever! This was adapted from my university roommate’s mom Cherry’s recipe and is my go-to all year round.
When you ask people about a rib recipe, everyone seems to have their favorite way of making them. Yet each time I’ve tried someone’s recipe, I’ve been disappointed. Too fatty. Too tough. Too bland. But after much trial and error, I have finally found rib…
It’s playoff time for hockey fans! I am so excited!!! It’s always a great excuse to gather friends and family to cheer on your favorite team. Here’s some easy recipes I go to when I’m feeding a hungry crowd on any game day:
A great go-to recipe for a crowd! I often double the recipe so that I have enough to stretch through the week. Not only can you use the meat again for leftovers, but you also add the meat to some yummy nachos, or create a…
This is a great sauce for pork ribs, especially if you like that sweet and sour flavour. The best part is the addition of the horseradish sauce that really gives it a zing! One of my faves. Want to know the secret to cooking your…
Here’s a chili recipe that pays homage to my favorite hockey team – the red-hot Calgary Flames! This spicy beef and bean chili is perfect for game time or a cold winter’s night. Because every family’s tolerance for spicy food is different, you can easily adjust the heat in this recipe. Simply add more or less jalapenos to the mix! For example, in this recipe, one jalapeno creates a medium-heat chili. Get your spice on!
I love Thai food and this recipe is no exception. It’s a tasty Thai version of chicken soup full of exotic flavours. As a result, every time I make it, I dream of a trip to Thailand!
