Chestnut Ale Turkey Chili

Chestnut Ale Turkey Chili

For 2017 I am changing the way I review craft beers. What I will do is continue to enjoy craft beers and post my reviews on my Instagram feed, and then once a month I will select one beer to review for Chews and Brews, and also use it in a recipe! That way if you aren’t totally a beer drinker, you are still getting a recipe out of the weekly post from me, and if you are a beer…

Roasted Carrot Ginger Soup

Roasted Carrot Ginger Soup

If you know me or have been following my blog you know two things about me: I love soup and I love spice.

Guacamole Stuffed Chicken

Guacamole Stuffed Chicken

Who doesn’t love stuffed chicken!? Or stuffed anything, for that matter, especially when guacamole is involved, in my opinion! Last week I shared with you a homemade guacamole recipe and now I am using that recipe to make guacamole stuffed chicken. I won’t bore you with how amazing this actually turned out and instead get right to the recipe! 

Guacamole ~ Quick and Easy!

Guacamole ~ Quick and Easy!

Guacamole is crazy easy to make; I make it all the time in minutes and it tastes amazing with chips, on a burger, or stuffed in chicken. Usually I make guacamole just for chip dipping, but this batch is for my guacamole stuffed chicken! You only need five ingredients to make a tasty guacamole, and it is ready literally in minutes. But if you make it and let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours (if you can…

Grilled Ham and Cheese Bites

Grilled Ham and Cheese Bites

A lot of the time my inspiration to create a recipe comes from looking at leftovers in the fridge; much like these grilled ham and cheese bites. I had half a tub of cream cheese, half a package of prosciutto ham and half a baguette to use up. Yes, these grilled ham and cheese bites are a bit different than your standard grilled cheese sandwich! They are a little more on the creamy side from the cream cheese and salty from the prosciutto;…

Corn Chowder

Corn Chowder

Corn season has come and gone but maybe you stocked up and froze a bunch of those tasty, starchy kernels for another day; another day to make corn chowder, of course! I made this while corn was still in season, but if you are following me, you know I took a break in September and October, updating old posts, and then went to Peru in November! If you don’t have corn stashed away in your freezer, you could use frozen…

Everything Bagel Spread

Everything Bagel Spread

When I think about an everything bagel, poppy seeds, onion and garlic flavours come to mind. I thought it would be pretty cool to have a plain mini bagel with a light cream cheese spread made up of everything that goes onto an everything bagel, plus more – an everything bagel spread!  You could keep this recipe simple by just using onion flakes, minced garlic and poppy seeds, or follow the recipe for more flavours! I went with the typical…
