Loaded Potato Casserole

By Leave a Comment

Does anyone else get REALLY sick of mashed potatoes? They’re really the only kind of potatoes my kids will eat, so I make them (way) too often. Mashed potatoes really are a lot of work too, so I wanted a different potato to serve, especially for farming meals, so I adapted a loaded potato casserole […]

Easy Baked Rice

By 1 Comment

When I got my Instant Pot, I was able to get rid of my rice cooker to save some appliance space. However, I didn’t factor in that if I was making my main dish with the Instant Pot…I suddenly had nowhere to cook my rice as a side dish. Oops. I’ve never been a stove-top […]

Easy Peasy Mac & Cheesy

By 1 Comment

I can just hear my husband rolling his eyes at the title of this recipe, but I couldn’t help myself. I had searched for a long time and tried many homemade mac and cheese recipes, but they didn’t satisfy what I wanted. I wanted something easy, simple and with stuff I’d always have in my […]

Grandma’s Special Buns

By 1 Comment

I had to think a few times about titling this recipe “Grandma’s Special Buns” for fear of what people might Google, but that’s what these dinner rolls are known as in this house – Grandma’s Special Buns. Alternate title could be “Nice Buns, Brenda” as my mother-in-law is the expert bun maker, playing off of George […]

Fumi Salad

By Leave a Comment

This is another one of my mother-in-law’s amazing recipes that I’ve wanted to blog about since I first tried it. I don’t know why it’s called “Fumi Salad” but it has a coleslaw base with a rice vinegar dressing and crunchy ramen noodles – yum! Fumi Salad 1 bag coleslaw mix (or you can chop up […]

Broccoli Salad

By 1 Comment

I’m not a salad person. Not a traditional garden salad person, anyway, but this one is one of my very favourite salads and the recipe comes from my Grandma T. The flavours are so dynamic and go so well together. I think the secret is taking the extra time to chop the broccoli into fine […]

Swedish Potatoes

By 7 Comments

I have no idea why these are called “Swedish Potatoes”, but all I know is I come from a Scandinavian background and these potatoes came from my Scandinavian grandmother…so there you go. Maybe there’s nothing Swedish about them, but that’s what they’ve always been called and they are my husband’s favourite type of mashed potato! […]

Greek Pasta Salad

By Leave a Comment

I’m the kind of weirdo that loves Greek seasonings…but doesn’t really like Greek food — in particular traditional Greek salad — all that much. However, my mom is a genius and incorporates all the yumminess of Greek salad into a pasta salad! That, I can get on board with. When I started harvesting my first […]

Alberta Whole Wheat Buns

By 4 Comments

One of my new year’s goals (I don’t like resolutions!) was to make more bread. I started off with a simple farmhouse bread, but I found that it dried out really fast so I figured I should try making buns instead. I was all set to make my mother-in-law’s famous “special buns”, as the kids […]

Garlic Cheese Loaf

By 1 Comment

I have been wanting to make this for a LONG time. I’ve been in my husband’s family for over 10 years now and my mother-in-law makes this delicious garlic cheese loaf to serve with many meals, especially Italian dishes. I made my Italian sausage penne the other night and this went perfectly with it! The […]
