Beef Masala Curry
Ever get hooked on a dish from a corner of the word you wish you could see? We have! Eventually, you’ll have the need to make this comfort food yourself – it’s quite satisfying.
Marinaded BBQ Kabobs
Sweet and savoury with a zip of flavour that’ll make you use this marinade with everything. I could eat these every damn day. Reheated, cold from the fridge, tossed with a salad or even added to fresh pasta. With those grill marks, can you blame me? It’s summertime and the grillin’ is easy. Now get going, I know you want to.
Homemade Macaroni and Cheese
Hello comfort food, it’s me calling! Homemade, baked, cheesy macaroni that is so easy, it’s dangerous. This is the real deal, no shortcuts. It’s full fat, full cheese, full butter and full-blown delicious. Did I mention the crunchy, buttery topping? You can even call it meal prep, there will be leftovers if you use some self-restraint.
Shrimp Pad Thai
I love Pad Thai. There I said it. Stir-fried noodles in a sweet, tangy and spicy sauce. Crispy beansprouts, fresh lime and roasted peanuts. All wok-fried together into a beautiful mix of YUM. I’ve longed to visit Thailand and try any dish, so naturally, I order from our local Thai place frequently enough the owner knows me by name.
Easy Focaccia Bread
This bread makes the perfect crispy noise when you tap it with a knife, but it’s so fluffy and soft inside. Thank you dough dimples – who knew right?
Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich
Spicy buttermilk fried chicken sandwiches are legendary in Louisianna. Crispy, spicy, crunchy and everything you dreamed of. Have you ever had Popeyes? This is an exact copycat of THAT amazing sandwich. Something deliciously salty, a little greasy and with a punch of heat. (if you want!)
Eggroll Stir Fry
This crowd-pleaser is crunchy and salty with a hint of I want seconds. This recipe will stop you from ordering Chinese food from the greasy spoon down the street, saving you money and time. I love making this any time of year, the best part is there’s only one pan to wash in the end!
Beer Battered Fish
I love this recipe because the fish only takes minutes to cook – it’s the prep and things you can do ahead of time that’s the ‘not-so-heavy’ lifting.
Stuffed Bell Peppers
They’re a great low carb option and you’ll almost always have the ingredients on hand (unless you’re being next-level lazy) Crunchy, tender peppers packed with onions, garlic, taco beef and topped with three types of cheese and a crunch layer? You’re going to want to add these to your weekly meal list, buy that bag of peppers from Costco ladies and gents because it’s not going to last long!
Creamy Cajun Salmon
A restaurant-quality meal you can cook on a weeknight. Delicious garlic, cajun and spinach all in a creamy sauce over perfectly cooked salmon. You’ll start skipping the restaurant or ordering in just to make this one at home. What more could you want? A view? Don’t worry, It looks magazine quality too!
Gnocchi Spinach Parmesan
Creamy gnocchi, similar to an alfredo, a rich one-pot dish. I love this for weeknights because it can be done in under 30 minutes. You can add a protein of your choice, or leave it vegetarian. One thing I can guarantee is that it’ll be loved by everyone and cooked again and again.
Homemade Pizza
Homemade pizza is always as much of a treat as it is a great deal when you’re cooking at home. You get the chance to use all the extra toppings from the fridge and give in to the pizza craving while still staying thrifty. You can double the cheese, keep it vegetarian or make it a meat-lovers. Better yet, come up with a brand new pizza type you’ll want more often than take out pizza.
Caribbean Pineapple Salmon with Coconut Lime Rice
This quick weeknight meal will make you feel like you’re on vacation! What more could you want after work, when we can’t travel? A fresh blast of flavour from the salsa with quick and easy salmon will win you over every time.
Homemade French Onion Soup
Looking to warm up? When it comes to this decadent comfort food, it’ll soothe your soul and warm your heart. It’s rich but simple enough that you can tackle it on a weeknight, or prepare it on the weekend and throw it in the crockpot.
Artisan Crusty Bread
No kneed, Artisan Crusty Bread that might just change your life.
