Hard Boiled Eggs From Monday to Friday

By //  by Candace Sampson

October 11th is World Egg Day, the day we celebrate the humble egg and the farmers who get them to our table. In 2018, Canadian Farmers produced an astounding 752 million dozen eggs! I haven't done an "official" count but I'm confident at least a million of those eggs have been consumed in my house. With certainty I can at the very least say I hard boil 624 eggs a year. Sunday in my house is all about meal-prep. With a little planning I have lunches from Monday to Friday down pat, and I …

Cranberry Turkey Bowtie Salad

By //  by Candace Sampson

It's almost Thanksgiving and you know that means. Turkey. Lots and lots o' turkey. Aside from time spent deciding how to cook the perfect turkey, I spend as much time deciding how to get rid of the leftovers.

This is the a perfect salad to whip up for lunches at school and work after Thanksgiving and is a …

Greek Picnic Salad

Greek Picnic Salad Or How to Get More Feta in Your Life

By //  by Candace Sampson

Hand over my heart as I tell you this, no carb has ever passed my lips that I didn't love. Bread, pasta, rice—I love them all. That's why this Greek Picnic Salad gets me excited because it's not really a traditional green salad but rather a carb salad. Yeah baby, now we're talking. I love this Greek Picnic Salad because the rice and chick peas make  it satisfying enough to be a meal on it's own. It's also perfect served as a side with grilled meats and fish in the summer, and as the …

Greek Chicken Salad – Bring on Summer

By //  by Life In Pleasantville

Last year, I started a second job at a coffee shop and it was heaven — all the coffee I could dream of, right at my fingertips! The problem was, along with a ready supply of caffeine, there were tempting, sugary treats emitting their siren call all day long, too. Juggling two jobs wasn't that difficult, but it wreaked havoc on my diet. Running from one place to another with so much unhealthy food nearby was a surefire recipe for disaster. When you're busy and tired, it's just easier to …

Roasted Garlic Caesar Salad For Garlic Lovers

By //  by Candace Sampson

I am a garlic lover. I mean - onions are fine, and shallots are even better - but if you're looking for the star of the allium family, it's garlic. Especially roasted garlic, because it mellows dramatically while roasting and develops a sweet flavour. While this recipe for Roasted Garlic Caesar Salad doesn't call for as much garlic as my Roasted Garlic Soup, it still uses a whole head of garlic. Do not be afraid. The garlic here is not at all overwhelming. It's likely that once you've tried it …
