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! One dish that is traditionally served at Christmas is the French Canadian tourtiere meat pie. The tourtiere originated in Quebec and is a meat pie consisting of ground or finely diced pork, beef or veal. I have always had it growing up with pork, but I have seen many other versions,…

Vegetable Ricotta Lasagna

Vegetable Ricotta Lasagna

Pasta is one of my favourite things to eat and lasagna tops the charts for pasta dishes in my books! I usually make my lasagna with ground chicken or turkey, but I decided to try out a full on vegetable ricotta lasagna for a change. Okay, who am I kidding… I, once again, had a boat load of vegetables in my fridge that I needed to use up in a hurry! I seem to over shop for vegetables, forgetting I…

Borscht – An Amazing Beet Soup

Borscht – An Amazing Beet Soup

Borscht is one of my all time favourite soups. It reminds me of spring and summer because of all the fresh vegetables, and it also makes me think of fall and winter because of the warmth and the types of vegetables, that is root vegetables, and particularly beets!  Borscht is a soup made mostly from beets, plus other vegetables and lots of dill.  It is of Ukraine origin and even though I am not Ukrainian, it is a soup I grew…

Butternut Squash Sauce with Italian Sausage Pasta

Butternut squash is by far my favourite of the squash family! Did you know that squash is a fruit and not a vegetable? I just learned that! There are so many forms of squash available including the pumpkin which is a real hit at this time of year. Try looking for a fall recipe without finding something “pumpkin spice” – it’s all the rage! I am going to shine the light on the sweet butternut squash today and share with you a…

Chunky Portobello Mushroom Soup

Onto part two of my portobello mushroom haul – chunky portobello mushroom soup! If you read my post on portobello mushroom stroganoff, you know that I was given 20 portobello mushrooms by my neighbour! That’s a lot of mushrooms. I am not going to lie; after the stroganoff and this soup, I think I need a mushroom break.  I have never made mushroom soup before, so I was out of my comfort zone here. I usually prefer the Campbell’s Cream…

Portobello Mushroom Stroganoff

What is a person to do with 20 portobello mushrooms? I think I mentioned once before that my neighbour often brings home large amounts of food from his job and shares with us. Once he gave us a giant bag of poppy seeds, where I made some poppy seed lemon loaf. I still have poppy seeds… Now he has given us 20 portobello mushrooms and unlike poppy seeds, they need to be used fast or they will rot. To use them up…

Lemony Lentil Crockpot Soup

Lunch is my least favourite meal of the day. I love food and I love eating, but I always struggle with what to have for lunch. I think it is because I leave for work at 6 am every day, and by the time lunch rolls around, I don’t feel like the sandwich I made… or the soup in my lunch bag no longer seems like it will be enough. That is all until I made this soup! Lemony lentil…
