Loving Food: Bacon

March 26, 2010

There was a time that I despised cooking bacon; I avoided it at all costs…  When I cooked it on the stovetop, there was the spatter of hot bacon grease which made a mess and of course inevitably, the hot grease would spit up at me, which is never enjoyable. Then I tried cooking it [...]

March 9, 2010

This is an excellent healthy meal solution and one of my favourite quick and easy dinners. It’s so simple; it’s on my go-to list of last minute meals. It’s almost as convenient as takeout, but way better for you! I am going to create this recipe (if you can even call it a recipe ) [...]

Cooking for one, or lack thereof.

January 20, 2010

Hubby is away tonight on a business trip. This happens each time he goes away, I resort to snacking… I love to cook, but only for loved ones. If he’s not here it just doesn’t seem of value to dirty all those dishes. I know I’m worth the effort, but I just don’t have the [...]

Quick and Easy Gourmet Italian Meal on a Regular Tuesday Night

January 13, 2010

I love cooking huge batches of things, dividing it and freezing it for another day. I made a homemade spaghetti sauce with meatballs a few weekends ago, and did just that with the leftover sauce. I’m coming down with a cold and not exactly feeling up to cooking a gourmet meal. Tuesday night felt like [...]
