White Bean Chicken Chili

White Bean Chicken Chili

  This is a great alternative to the traditional chili. Especially for those who like to avoid red meat. But lets be clear, this is not a low fat dish. Lots of Jack cheese adds flavour, and oh yeah, some fat too. When we can […]

Fettuccine with Turkey Sausage and Tomato Cream Sauce

Fettuccine with Turkey Sausage and Tomato Cream Sauce

  If you’ve ever been on a family trip with us, you have had this dish. It is my go-to, easy dish that I know everyone will eat. Often, its the “kid meal” but we can’t seem to keep the grown ups out of it! […]

Chickpea and Chorizo Soup

Chickpea and Chorizo Soup

  This is a great one-pot meal. Hearty with sausage and beans, the addition of spinach provides the greens you need in your diet. I add orrechiette to this soup for the kids. We like to keep it without the carbs for a satisfying low […]

Seafood Paella

Seafood Paella

  You can make paella with seafood, or with sausage and chicken. If making with meats, just brown before you add into the paella. This is a great dish to serve for dinner parties. We served it along with the kale salad and grilled cauliflower […]
