We are usually more of a Roasted Sweet Potatoes house (I adore sweet potatoes so much, I have a special series about creative, healthy ways to top them in my cookbook), but WOW. Some nights, it’s classic white potatoes that hit the spot. While regular Oven Roasted Potatoes certainly satisfy a spud craving, and Grilled Potatoes satisfies that itch for smoky flavored vegetables, something about roasted fingerlings feels special and gourmet....

I’m also providing a selection of serving options – including an elegant Creamy White Wine Mustard Sauce! Crumbed Rack of Lamb This is the first rack of lamb recipe I’ve shared, and I was torn with indecision about whether to do a classic, plainly roasted version (which I eventually did make!) or go all out with a crumbed number, reserved for special occasions. The crumb number won out … because who doesn’t go mad over tender, juicy lamb meat with a golden crunchy crust?...

Breakfast Casserole Bacon + sausage + egg + milk + cheese + potatoes + bread does not = nutritious low fat energy breakfast for every day. But it DOES equal DELICIOUS!!! This is my “make-ahead-feed-an-army” version of a country breakfast fry up that is one of my favourite things to order when I go out for brunch (especially if I had a few too many champers the night before). A ginormous plate loaded with eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes and toast on the side....

If you are in need of a new meal prep healthy breakfast, I have just the thing! These sausage egg muffins are packed with protein to make for a satisfying breakfast that will keep you going all morning long. They are a comforting spin on this egg muffins recipe.

FavoritePinShare Scotcharoos are a perfect combination of butterscotch and peanut butter with a twist of a Rice Krispie crunch in the middle and a thick, rich chocolate layer that makes an irresistible treat. Sink your teeth in these ooey gooey bars! Peanut butter-chocolate combination bars are always a hit in our family. This chocolate peanut butter bars or crunchy peanut butter bars are also very similar to these scotcharoos and have the same great flavors....

FavoritePinShare This recipe is so easy to throw into your slow cooker and the honey teriyaki flavor is our of this world! The chicken cooks to perfection and will be one of the best things that you will make! My 7 year old is the pickiest eater that you will meet. We keep hoping that he will grow out of it, but he keeps getting older and still doesn’t like a lot of foods....

FavoritePinShare Tender and juicy, this Slow Cooker Italian Beef is mouthwateringly amazing! This recipe is fork tender with a tangy zippy broth. You are going to love it!

Delicious Italian Beef You may be thinking as you look at this insanely delicious Italian beef that it looks a lot like my Mississippi Pork Roast, but these are truly different....

After more ideas? Browse all my roast lamb recipes! Slow Roast Leg of Lamb I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – lamb leg should either be roasted exactly such that it’s blushing pink inside – either whole or butterflied – or long and slow so it’s ultra tender. Blushing pink = meat thermometer or holding-your-breath-cross-your-fingers for that moment when you carve, hoping for juicy lamb rather than grey and dry....

Tastes like Jambalaya, minus the cajun flavours, and much faster to make! One Pot Smoked Sausage and Rice Like the “dump and bake” Fried Rice I shared a few weeks ago, this rice casserole recipe was conceived as a quick and low-effort dish. What makes this recipe tick is the use of smoked sausages. An under-utilised yet economical ingredient sold at all supermarkets, smoked sausages like kransky and kielbasa (Polish sausages) pack a ton of flavour thanks to their smoky taste and the generous seasoning in the sausage itself....

My mom makes the best lasagna. This is why for years, I didn’t even dare to make one myself, as I was too afraid it wouldn’t hold a candle to hers. When I finally decided to give it a go, I had two choices: ask for her recipe, or try my own. I’m glad I went for the latter option. To my delight (and utmost relief), she was so impressed that she even asked for the recipe!...

Split Pea Soup with Ham Bone (or hock) is a delicious and hearty winter soup. And it just so happens to be one of my favourites. I very rarely share the origins behind my recipes but this one is very special to me so humour me if you will. This recipe was inspired by a Pea and Ham Soup that my Nan makes three times a year (each night of a 3-part football series)....

Making crepes from scratch is one of those culinary endeavors I considered too fussy for my tastes. I even own a fancy crepe pan, a gift Ben bought me years ago at my request. I harbored romantic pictures of us recreating the piles of crepes I cooked with my host family when I studied abroad in France. Flash forward seven years: the crepe pan has moved into three different homes with us…and never emerged from its forgotten place at the very bottom of our pile of pots and pans....

Donuts were never a food we had around the house growing up. Even though my parents were far from low carb, they didn’t buy much that was processed. I would have happily eaten donuts elsewhere whenever given the chance, though. When I started trying to eat healthier years ago, I felt like I was missing out on donuts at the office, so I created this sugar-free keto donuts recipe with almond flour....

It’s here: the ultimate guide to sugar substitutes for baking, cooking, keto desserts, beverages, and everything in between! I get a lot of questions from people asking about the best sugar alternatives, the right keto sweeteners to use for a low carb lifestyle or diabetes, or simply how to cut refined sugar for better health or avoiding weight gain. Most of the keto options make excellent sweeteners for diabetics as well....

They’re also coated in a sweet and sour sauce for a ridiculously addictive dish....

I jest. I’m sure, if pressed (or if the last Sweet Potato Bite were at stake), I could find one game Ben missed in the last 25 years, but it would be a challenge. In fact, this time of year, our entire communication system shifts to the team’s schedule. Sample conversation. Please note, this actually happened. More than once. Me: “The wedding is the 23rd.”Ben: “What?”Me: (checks schedule on phone) “The Michigan State Game....
