My husband, who is getting to be quite the connoisseur of vegetables at the farmers' market, was quite pleased with himself when he brought home a Romanesco cauliflower the other day. He was a bit crestfallen when I wasn't as excited about his find as he was, but I've not only cooked them, I've...+ READ MORE

More than a dash to spruce up a boring dish, all spices come with a list of health benefits (like bad breath-banishing, infection protection, and blood sugar-balancing) that are often totally missed when simply mixed into a crock pot. It's time to view your spice rack in a whole new purpose-driven...+ READ MORE

All year long I look forward to going to our cottage, which is strictly a summer place and we have to use a boat to get there. There's no insulation and we use an efficient fire place for heat. Every morning in July and August, I take my cup of tea out to my deck and sit under my umbrella and read....+ READ MORE

When I was a kid we always had cans of baked beans in the cupboard. It was a quick meal and better for us than spaghetti-o's. We always ate them on their own, rather than having them as part of a meal, and that's the way I've always thought of them. I don't buy processed food, but I still love baked...+ READ MORE

This dish isn't going to win any culinary beauty contests, and as it was cooking, I thought it was a good thing my husband was on vacation. It seemed like it might be one of those recipes that he might put on his "long suffering Planet Green guinea pig" side of the slate. As it turned out, it was...+ READ MORE

Remember as a kid when you took your lunch with you to school? There was always somebody whose mom packed enticing looking meals and made you jealous. Well, you can be the cool kid in the lunchroom now, and save money doing it.+ READ MORE

We are all coming off of the holidays and looking for dinners that are a bit lighter than we've been eating. This meal gives you the sense of fullness without all of the calories of heavy meat stews. I've used swiss chard here, but you could use kale or spinach as well. This is a fantastic easy...+ READ MORE

This is the kind of cooking that is wonderful to do once the weather gets cold and gray. You put in a minimal amount of effort and then slip the casserole dish into the oven, curl up with a book and a pot of tea and let the gorgeous aroma of cooking leeks and potatoes fill the house while it cooks.+ READ MORE

When I saw this recipe I knew this was something I had to try out for my daughter. She loves french toast, but she's like me and doesn't really feel like cooking first thing in the morning. Mostly what she likes is to have me make it for her in the morning when she's home from university.+ READ MORE

I wanted to try this Jamaican stew right away. My daughter was home for the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend and I thought this was something that she could easily make for herself once she was back at school. Like most university students, she is on a pretty tight budget, so finding nutritious,...+ READ MORE

My son used to complain that when he went to his girlfriend's house for dinner they always ate kale. He insisted that she and her roommates bought it by the ton and that's all they ate. There's a good reason for that. Kale is a pretty economical vegetable and it's really good for you. + READ MORE
