Herb Rubbed Roast Chicken

Roast chicken is pretty much a staple in my house. We often will roast a chicken, have dinner and use the leftovers to make salads or sandwiches for lunches during the workweek. I have been playing around with the many spices and herbs I have from Silk Road and came up with this interesting blend that made an irresistible herb rubbed roast chicken! And the smell… oh my the smell of this herb dry rubbed roast chicken while it was doing…

Turkey Stir-fry on Ramen Noodles – Easy Weeknight Meal

I am always looking for great meals to have after work on weeknights that are simple, quick and healthy.

The first time I tried them was in my Turkey Ramen Noodle Bowl and they are pretty darn good! I admit, I don’t have a lot of experience with ramen noodles but I really like these ones! This turkey stir-fry…

Turkey Ramen Noodle Bowl

Ahhh, Christmas and New Years is over…. and I still have a giant container of turkey meat in my fridge to use up.

I was trying to find a creative way to use up some of the turkey meat, besides throwing it in the freezer and forgetting about it until summer…  Before the Christmas break I went to a new…

French Canadian Tourtiere Meat Pie

Christmas is easily my favourite time of year and for many reasons; mostly because I love cooking and entertaining and Christmas is (for me and my family) all about eating and getting together!
