Amazing Recipes
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...]

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...]
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.

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...]
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...]
These nacho burritos are perfect for a weekend breakfast, they are so filling and most of all delicious. I gotta say it didn't take me long to make these breakfast burritos.  I made them with regular  tortillas, beef, potatoes and eggs as the main ingredients. It was a winner at my house. Even … [Read more...]
Every once in a while I buy these wonton wrappers because I find them extremely versatile. I've made several recipes with wonton wrappers, such as my Strawberry and Nutella Wontons, Turkey and Mushroom Rolls, and Mini Apple Pies in Wonton Wrappers. 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...]
Zucchini has many health benefits. Some of these benefits include lowering cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, cancer prevention, heart attack and stroke prevention and it's also very low in calories. Now besides all those benefits, I simply just like zucchini, I like them added to salads, added … [Read more...]
This is such a delicious soup I just have to share it with you. Â It's a very traditional soup, and it's one of my favorite soups. This soup is a staple at our house and we make it often.

I woke up this morning and I wasn't feeling too well, woke up with a bit of sore throat and a major headache. This happens to me quite a bit in Calgary when the weather changes suddenly.  It's pretty cold here  today and it's been raining non stop. When my throat is sore, I love to eat a … [Read more...]
Summer is here which means barbecue season is here. We love to barbecue and I've been craving burgers because I haven't had one in a very long time. This burger turned out unbelievable, and it was so huge, I just had to name it The Beast. So I believe there's no need to mention how easy it is to … [Read more...]
This was the first time I attempted these meat pies and while they were good, they turned out a bit dry, so maybe next time I make them I won't cook the meat for so long, so they turn out a bit juicier. Again, I tried to save time and I used puff pastry, and they were very quick to make. I love puff … [Read more...]
