As I'm sitting here writing this post I salivate just looking at these pictures and wish there were a couple more of these pies left. I had these for the first time years ago in Michigan from an Arabic bakery and ever since then I was hooked. I love these types of pies. Lahmacun simply means meat … [Read more...]

OK, so maybe these aren't really tostadas. I'm not sure what to call them. Fajitas? Maybe. But I wanted them served on these beautiful flat breads I bought, so the only thing I could think of was tostadas, so tostadas they are. So just work with me here because this meal is so good, you'll … [Read more...]
When I first saw this in Taste of Home magazine, I knew I had to try it. First of all I love anything that looks like crostini and secondly the name intrigued me. So although I love the name Sicilian Nachos, I would say these are more like Men's Bruschetta. :D Seriously, it's got ground beef, … [Read more...]
The pork carnitas I made a couple weeks ago were so popular here at my house, that I just had to make some more. But this time I used beef instead. Between my husband and the dog there was major competition on the pork carnitas. I made the beef carnitas a bit different though, mostly a bit spicier. … [Read more...]

You know what I think of when I look at this pizza? Perfection! Tacos have been on my mind lately, and I wanted one, but I wanted  to have a different sort of taco.

The weather has been wonderful here in Calgary this week, which is really nice after all the snow we had last week. During the winter, one of my favorite things to eat are meatballs, not sure why but I associate meatballs with winter food. They are a classic comfort food. I have been craving some … [Read more...]
Winter is in full force here in Calgary, it's been snowing pretty much every day this week and if you look outside you'd think it was December not October. But that's OK, maybe this means winter will end early. Who am I kidding? My dog seems to enjoy it though, she loves running in the back yard in … [Read more...]
I have to tell you this, my latest favorite show is Lipstick Jungle. I never would have watched this show because I think the name is stupid, but it happens to be on Netflix and so I thought I'd watch a couple episodes. It's about 3 powerful women and their life struggles. I'm sad to say it was … [Read more...]
One of my favorite stores to shop at lately has been Ikea and I admit every time we go there we stop and eat, whether it's for breakfast, or the Swedish meatballs. I am not one to ever turn down meatballs, and it's not that the meatballs at Ikea are so good, it's more the fact that they are so … [Read more...]

So I thought it was time for another savory … [Read more...]
I remember the first time I had lettuce wraps at a restaurant, I loved them. Such an interesting combination, the cool lettuce with the warm and spicy meat mixture, full of flavors. I loved it. I have since then started making them at home. This is an ideal dish for those on a low carb diet and it … [Read more...]
One of my favorite things to get at a restaurant is nachos. Great cheesy nachos with a big strawberry margarita is my idea of a good time. It's perfect if you're out with a couple girlfriends, or your significant other. It's a great food to share while enjoying great conversation. However, I'm not … [Read more...]
