Reconnecting with my family by changing the way we do dinner
As children, eating dinner with our families was a nightly occurrence, but as adults we seem to have fallen out of the habit. About a month ago, we decided to try an experiment: one day a week, each one of us would commit to making dinner for the family. We’ve been incredibly pleased with our arrangement, which has led to some unexpected benefits…
A Megan-simple sesame chicken salad
This is a great salad to pack for lunches. It’ll keep for about a week in the fridge, but I like it so much it’s never lasted that long. It’s also a very forgiving recipe, so add more of the ingredients you like and cut back those you don’t like or don’t have.
Make perfectly-sized mini burger patties and keep your hands clean
This is my kitchen DUH! moment. Instead of getting my hands dirty trying to form the perfect mini burger, I could use tools in my kitchen to do the work for me!
Yummy, lactose-free mac ‘n cheese
Last night we feasted on ooey-gooey mac n’ cheese fit for my husband’s digestive system. He developed lactose-intolerance in the past couple of years, which effectively put an end to his cheese-fiend ways. I adapted this recipe from The New Vegan Table, and it’s an awesome recipe. But made even better with my variation.
Quick, no fuss tomato and pesto sauce
I love cooking but some days I just can’t be bothered to make a five-course dinner with fancy-schmancy ingredients. This recipe makes ± 4 servings, and is so quick that the pasta can be done at the same time the sauce is done. So no long hangry waits!
Make Peeps sushi for Easter
Mich made sushi out of mutha’fucking marshmallow Peeps for Easter! These were all made with a combination of Peeps, Rice Crispy treats, Fruit Roll-Ups and Fruit by the Foot.
Everything’s better on a stick!
Whether it’s foods, drinks, or decor, being on a stick makes it portable, fashionable and fabulous. Here’s our savory, sweet, and sometimes even swanky roundup of all things Offbeat Home & Life… on a STICK!
Use your crockpot to make chicken tacos
My name is Mich and I’m addicted to my crockpot. Here’s my favourite, cheap and easy crockpot recipe: chicken tacos. This recipe makes eight meals for me and my husband — that’s 16 portions for about $14 (I buy chicken when it’s on sale and freeze it).
