This is a simple and fast meal, perfect for a dinner for two! My kids wanted tacos for dinner, my mom was over and she is not a big fan of tacos so we made something that was just enough for her and who ever wanted to try some. The seasoning in this is simple and the flavours I grew up with, you can add any spice or seasoning you like….
Pasta
Homemade Mac and Cheese
I remember walking home for lunch and preparing my lunch everyday from grade 6 till grade 8 and most times it was that same old blue box of mac’ n’ cheese….I honestly couldn’t get enough of it! Two teaspoons of butter and a bit of milk stirring in that powder cheese, oh ya I was all gourmet even then;)
I still could go for a box of that stuff every now and again…but I would much rather have it made with love & wholesome ingredients! …
Rigatoni with Beets
I was out in my backyard this morning when I noticed some of the beets were coming out from the ground, they looked small but if I didn’t pull them out I am sure something would get to it before I did…so I pulled out 3 bunches of beets!
I just love beets, when I was pregnant with my son one of my cravings was pickled beets!
The great thing with beets is that not only is the bulb edible but all of it is! The stems, leaves are edible and delicious! Its the perfect veggie that goes a long way….you can even use the liquid from the beets after boiling….haven’t decided yet what will become of that….I will keep you posted….stay tuned!…
Veggie Lasagna
This is a delicious veggie lasagna! This is my families favourite lasagna, they ask for it all the time! It is filled with flavour, and its even better when the veggies are in season!
…
Pasta with Spinach
This is a simple and fast dish perfect for lunch or a side dish for dinner.
My grandmother and mom always make this, either with zucchini or spinach, I personally prefer with zucchini but I had spinach in the fridge today, so I thought I would finish it off.
You can make it with any pasta you have, I happen to have shells so that’s what I used today….
Spaghetti with Tomato and Fresh Oregano
Lasagna
Another family favourite….lasagna! When I was a kid I would eat half of the pan of lasagna….I just loved it! Ask my Mom or Aunt Angela…they’ll tell ya. Probably could now too….but I won’t. My appetite isn’t as big as when I was younger. I once was a very active kid that blew the calories off like it was nothing! Ah the joys of being a kid, wish I had that metabolism and energy now! …
Easy Manti
Traditionally manti is made with a home made dough, rolled out and cut into circles or squares. Its basically a Turkish style ravioli. This is just the easy way to make them, as you don’t have to make your own dough and roll and cut…but if your in the mood to make them from scratch I have got a treat for you! I recently made them and they are not too hard to make at all! …
Curry Chicken Noodles
I was not raised on curry…or spicy foods for that matter….but in recent years I have grown a love for curry and spicy foods!
I started to buy this curry/spicy flavour noodle package….after reading the ingredients and thinking to myself wow I can’t even pronounce some of these things! I thought there has to be a way I can figure out how to make this myself….
