This was a delicious salad to eat! It mostly consisted of chopping veggies and cooking the orzo, so simple! I also really liked that it doesn't require using the oven as my apartment has no AC and it is sooooo hot out now lol I hate summer. Well, I hate the heat. Also easy, was… Continue reading Greek Orzo Salad

Tumeric Coconut Rice
I made this delicious meal the other day at work and it was a great hit with both my clients and my coworkers. It's a simple rice dish, with onions, garlic and carrots. I added 1/2 cup of frozen corn and 1/2 cup of frozen peas, just to add a bit more to it. As… Continue reading Tumeric Coconut Rice
Crockpot Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
We've been having a lot of rain and dreary grey days this spring and summer, and I always find a nice bowl (or two) of homemade soup always cheers me up while warming me up. I made this delicious tomato basil soup, not only because of the wet cold weather, but also because I had… Continue reading Crockpot Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
Butternut Squash Risotto
This risotto was so delicious and so easy to make! I ate practically the whole pan tonight myself! Originally the recipe calls for mushrooms as well as the butternut squash, but I absolutely cannot stand mushrooms so I just left them out. You of course, can add them if mushrooms are your thing. I got… Continue reading Butternut Squash Risotto
Caribbean Pulled Chicken Lettuce Wraps
This recipe was soooo delicious! Very messy to eat though but so fun! Last summer I scoured Pinterest looking for summer recipes that I could make in my crockpot as we have next to no air conditioning in our apartment to run my oven. This is one of the recipes that caught my eye. It… Continue reading Caribbean Pulled Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Bang Bang Chicken Pasta!

Baked Salmon with Rosemary, Garlic and Olive Oil
We're not really fish eaters, as a child I absolutely hated fish, hated the taste, the animal itself gave me the creeps and I refused to touch them when we went on family fishing trips, but as an adult, I have started to try and eat it a bit more, and I enjoy small pieces… Continue reading Baked Salmon with Rosemary, Garlic and Olive Oil
Slow Cooker Marinara Chicken and Vegetables
I made this simple recipe today with only a few basic modifications. I used tomato sauce instead of marinara, a can of whole tomatoes instead of diced regular tomatoes, and skipped the zucchini, simply because I didn't have any of these ingredients on hand. Throughout the day as this was cooking in the slow cooker,… Continue reading Slow Cooker Marinara Chicken and Vegetables
Crockpot White Chicken Chili
Right... so this is not a white coloured chili like the title says, but that's only because I didn't have any white beans. I used 2 cans of black beans and a can of dark red kidney beans instead. The rest of the ingredients I kept the same, just using only 1 tin of diced… Continue reading Crockpot White Chicken Chili
