Cucumber Bites

These little bites are super easy to make, very tasty and really cute. You can serve with a meal or as a appetizer.

Chili

Here is a excellent chili recipe that I have made for my family for many years. Chili is a simple one pot meal that is great served with freshly baked corn muffins or biscuits and a nice green salad!! Make a big pot and then freeze some for another meal or serve the leftovers the next day. My family likes it spicy so I add hot salsa or fresh peppers but if you don't like it hot add mild salsa.

Wicked Thai Chicken Soup

This soup is absolutely delicious and has been slightly adapted from a recipe found on the Foodbuzz. It has a lovely Thai flavor. If you have left over chicken make this soup instead of chicken noodle. It is quite hardy and can be served as a meal or to start in smaller portions.

Loaded Baked Potato Dip with Homemade Chips

If you love the fixings of a baked potato then we think you will love this dip .The potato  chips are especially good with this dip but of course you can use ripple chips or your favourite crackers.  Make this for your next gathering and watch your guests dig in!

Iconic Macaroni and Cheese

We love macaroni and cheese and I am not talking about the stuff in a box!!! We like creamy, smooth, cheesy,gooey macaroni!!! While in Seattle this year we went to a restaurant called the "Icon Grill"and they served the best macaroni and cheese that we have ever tasted!!! We were there for three days and we ordered it all three days, that's how good it was!!! When they serve it at the table, the waiter takes a knife and pokes holes into the macaroni and then pours more cheese sauce over the bubbling macaroni!!! This dish is not low calorie so don't make it if your on a diet and don't try to make it "light" either, what would be the point of that??? Our philosophy is to enjoy a little of something really good rather than to enjoy a lot of something that is mediocre! We love the addition of tomatoes as it offsets the richness nicely. Try our rendition of this dish but if your ever in Seattle go to the Icon Grill you won't be disappointed!!

Slow Cooker French Beef Dip

This is a great recipe for the slow cooker, as it takes a tougher cut of beef and by cooking it slowly produces a tender slice of beef perfect for beef dip. Serve with a green salad.

Hot Beef Noodle Satay Soup

This is one of our favorite soups and so easy to make. I fell in love with this soup many years ago and have developed this recipe over the years and feel I have re-created an excellent version,hope you like it too!!
