Spinach and Artichoke Dip Pasta

Spinach and Artichoke Dip Pasta

2 Comments

While I was searching through my fridge for dinner options, and I came across some almost too sad baby artichokes and leftover cooked spinach. This is when it hit me. Why not make dinner with all of the flavours of spinach and artichoke dip in the form of pasta!

This spinach and artichoke pasta comes together in less than 30 minutes making it a perfect weeknight meal and it’s so addictively good!

FYI I thought this was some groundbreaking pasta dish but apparently others are a sharp as me. 😉 LOL!

Spring Vegetable Frittata

My Nanie would always make a delicious asparagus egg dish for her brunches. It was very thin and served cold. Since asparagus is in season in Ontario and I was in need for a quick dinner for last night a frittata was a great option. I used what I had on hand to fill my frittata.

Panko Pork Medallions with Savoury Apple and Pineapple Sauce

1 Comment

After a wonderful long weekend in Canada, it was off to the grocery store to plan some upcoming dinners. The plan for last nights dinner was to be Butter Chicken but that was immediately scratched with the chaos and delays in getting the necessary preparation done to really make this happen.

The back up plan came quickly into play. Pork Tenderloin.

I usually roast the entire tenderloin in the oven but short on time, I decided to prepare medallions.

Will the family be eating Butter Chicken tonight? Probably not…..Time to reinvent my 5 o’clock rush for tonight. I used most of the Butter Chicken ingredients last night. Well, except the chicken! 😉

Stuffed Peppers using the Flavour Enhancers

Leave a comment

As a child, the dish of stuffed peppers were in the regular rotation of meals that my Mom versed us in preparing while she was at work. My brothers did not enjoy the pepper part of the dish so to avoid a debate, we would make extra large meatballs. My Mom’s recipe used green peppers and my DH can’t stand them so I tweaked the recipe using the coloured varieties.
