When my kids polish up things like a salad and ask for more, you know a recipe is a keeper. This roasted pear, fennel and shrimp salad was a hit!

One of hubby’s favourite things to eat is beef curry. It’s his version of comfort food. After a weekend away and a crazy week ahead at work, this was his request.
This recipe is made in the Instant Pot and is easy peasy. Using the Saute function and the Pressure function, the resulting dish is full of flavour and tender beef.

It’s that time of year again – Stampede!! Q and I headed to the grounds yesterday to check out what was new and, of course, try some good eats.

Hard to believe that it’s less than a month until the Calgary Stampede. It’s definitely one of the highlights of summer. The parade, the skyride, the games, the rides, but most importantly, the food! The list of Stampede eats was released a few days ago and it is a delicious one! The list offers savoury and sweet options as well as questionable ones that include crickets and kangaroo.

Have you noticed that at parties, there is always fun drinks and cocktails for the drinkers but just a couple options for those not having alcohol? Let’s change that! This berry sangria is a great drink for any get together, to be enjoyed by all.

One of our favourite chocolatey treats has to be puffed wheat squares. These seem to be loved by most people. Little wheat puffs covered in chocolate and made into squares. So good! These are no-bake, so dangerous that they can be made in minutes.

Disclosure – Omo Teppan & Kitchen hosted my family and I for dinner. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I headed to Omo Teppan & Kitchen a few weeks ago with the boys for dinner. Z loves to pretend that he’s cooking like a Teppanyaki master and Q loves sushi so everyone was excited to check the place out.
Omo means hospitality and did they every live up to their name. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel right at home. The service was great, which is huge for me.

It’s been hot lately. Which has been amazing since we had the longest winter ever. Cooking outdoors has been happening on a daily basis. Why warm up the house when we can throw things on the bbq? I’m always on the quest for simple recipes that are packed with flavour. This cilantro and mint chicken fits the bill!

We have been eating a lot of shishito peppers lately. Shishitos are long twisted green peppers that are mild in heat and sweet in flavour. Well, maybe that’s not totally true. Although they are mild, sometimes a couple will sneak in that have a little bite to them.
Sure we grill all year long but with the weather being hot and beautiful, our bbq is getting used more than usual. You can bet, if we have peppers in the house, they are definitely going on the grill.
