Having been born and raised in Calgary, it’s been amazing to see the city grow. Calgary’s northeast community is growing steadily and there is a new community worth checking out – CornerBrook. CornerBrook has a variety of different homes from several of builders and it definitely has something for everyone.

Welcome to CornerBrook!

What I love about this new neighbourhood is that it covers all the key areas that we looked for when we were building a home – community and schools, a place to play, access to amenities and builders that could give us important features in our home, like the kitchen.

Chicken Enchiladas

April 24, 2019 By Fareen 1 Comment

We make these cheesy chicken enchiladas with leftover rotisserie chicken. Makes an easy and tasty dinner that everyone loves.

Around here, rotisserie chicken goes a long way. We eat it for one meal but leftovers are used the next day for a different meal and then the bones are used to make stock. Nothing gets wasted. We use the leftovers in sandwiches, pasta, salads and these enchiladas.

This quinoa salad makes the perfect lunch or side salad. Definitely some feel good food.

When your husband, who thinks he doesn’t like quinoa and your son, who doesn’t like vegetables can’t get enough of a salad, it’s definitely worth sharing. We have been having this on repeat this week and can’t seem to get enough.

Cream Puffs

Golden puffs filled with whipped cream and topped with powdered sugar. So dreamy.

It’s March, also known as birthday month. Sure people just celebrate their actual special days, or maybe even the week. Around here, birthdays are an excuse to get spoiled.

I thought it would be a great time to share one of my favourite desserts – cream puffs. Cream puffs are actually one of the first things I learned to make, way back in Home Ec in grade 7. That’s how easy they are. Gosh that was a long long time ago!

Air Fryer Teriyaki Hot Wings

Teriyaki hot air fryer wings – crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and oh so saucy!

I have definitely passed my love of chicken wings to my children. What’s not to love? It’s the perfect finger food and always a hit at any party. Also, wing nights are always a great way to enjoy time with friends.

I do have two requirements for wings. The wings have to have a nice crisp coating and they have to be saucy. When making wings at home, we never fry them. It used to be that they were made in the oven but lately, they are always cooked on the bbq before being sauced. Until the air fryer came along.
