Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

Guys... I have fall on the brain. First of all, I would like to state for the record that I liked fall before it was cool. Before pumpkin spice lattes (which are... not my fav), tall boots (which you will pry from my cold, dead hands), and plaid (which I adore). This is what you…Read More

Raspberry and Feta Cheese Summer Salad

I’ve really been digging fruit-based salads this summer. I’m not normally a ‘salad person’ as much as I try to be, but the fruit we’ve been getting has been absolutely spectacular. Case in point: Strawberry Spinach Salad. These raspberries HAD to be the star in something! And the cheese… well, the cheese had to have a…Read More

Cobb(ish) Salad

I have a confession to make. I. HATE. Leftovers. With the burning passion of one thousand flaming suns. Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration.

Nova Scotia strawberry season is upon us. And I seriously can’t stop eating them. I may…Read More

How To Cook Spaghetti Squash in the Crockpot

Where would I be without my Crockpot? The crossroads between Sad-ville and Hungry-town, that's where! Mr. Nomato and I are trying to eat healthier, and part of that is cutting down the carbs, and the calories. Spaghetti squash is a fantastic alternative to regular spaghetti, with only a fraction of the carbs. Now, I know…Read More

Nightshade Free Backyard Burgers

Everyone knows, the staples of a barbecue are BURGERS. They’re always there, reliable, dependable, a simple ground meat patty slapped inside a delicious bun. Of course, most burgers are also usually slathered in nightshades, dripping in tomato-based barbecue sauce or topped with pools of ketchup and mustard (I see you paprika, you can run but you…Read More
