Yam, Bean, and Cheese Quesadilla Recipe

I had a version of this quesadilla in a local cafe (that is no longer in business) last year and decided to try making my own version. It's delicious! Makes 8, serves 4.

Lentil Chickpea Bake Recipe

Rilla G

I've tried many different veggie burger recipes over the years, and they never turn out well. I've had dry ones, crumbly ones, bland ones, and this was yet another attempt that ended up super gloopy... So instead of tweaking it more, I picked the lazy way, and decided to pour it in a pan and… Continue reading Lentil Chickpea Bake Recipe

Quick Vegetarian Lentil Curry Recipe

Rilla G

Fall is upon us and I've been craving hot comfort food as the days grow shorter and the evenings cooler. I've adapted a Red Thai Curry recipe to be vegetarian. I used canned lentils, but you could just as easily throw dried lentils in at the beginning, or put everything in a crock pot before leaving… Continue reading Quick Vegetarian Lentil Curry Recipe

Whole Roasted Chicken & Gravy Recipe

Rilla G

One of my favourite childhood memories is of coming home after school on a cold winter day and opening the door to the smell of roast chicken in the oven. My mom had a convection oven that she used almost daily and she could make a killer roast chicken dinner. Mom always sprinkled Spike seasoning on… Continue reading Whole Roasted Chicken & Gravy Recipe

Not-Your-Mama’s Tuna Casserole Recipe

Rilla G

I grew up eating nasty tuna casserole made from cream-of-something soup. It was bland, boring, and high in MSG. I’ve been looking for a made-from-scratch creamy cheesy comfort-foodesque recipe, couldn’t find one, so made this one up. I don’t mind saying it’s amazing and will be a family favorite, hopefully for generations to come. Makes… Continue reading Not-Your-Mama’s Tuna Casserole Recipe

Kid-Friendly Allergy-Friendly Pancake Recipe

Rilla G

My son was diagnosed with asthma and eczema as a baby, and eventually diagnosed with a number of food allergies. Once these foods were eliminated from his diet, his asthma and eczema cleared up, with only occasional flare-ups. Any recipes I've developed for him, like this one, need to be nut-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, and… Continue reading Kid-Friendly Allergy-Friendly Pancake Recipe
