This is one of our go to meals when we are looking for something a little different for dinner, but still want to keep it easy and delicious. One of the number one most requested quick dinners by my family is our version of a Reuben Sandwich. I believe that traditionally, corned beef is used as the meat in this sandwich. We have always used smoked meat, which I recently discovered is actually the Montreal version of the classic. I have also often substituted a light mayonnaise for the … [Read more...]
Reverse Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you are looking to shake up your usual chocolate chip cookie recipe, here is a simple little switch. All I did was take my recipe for Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies and substituted the vanilla pudding with chocolate pudding and the semi-sweet chocolate chips with white chocolate chips. I have made some version or another of this recipe since I was 12 or 13. They are easy to make, moist, chewy and unbelievably delicious. Coincidentally, or probably not so coincidentally…as they both … [Read more...]

Easter Magic Bars
If you are looking for a delicious, easy, make-ahead treat for Easter, this recipe for Easter Magic Bar is for you! All I did was take my traditional recipe for Magic Bars/Hello Dolly Squares (some people call them Magic Bars and some Hello Dolly Squares) and tweaked it a bit to make them more ”Eastery”. (I don’t think that’s even a word...but you get the idea!) I love how they turned out, not only do that taste amazing, the pretty pastel colours look very Easter and springlike! … [Read more...]
How to Make Classic French Toast
This Classic French Toast has been a breakfast staple in our home for years. It's quick, easy and can be as simple or fancy as you like. When my kids were little I would often make it for weekday breakfast and would use whatever bread I had on hand. They weren't fussy at all and would always gobble it up. (That is, until they became teenagers and suddenly were way too cool for breakfast...*sigh*) I still whip up a batch on a regular basis. It's often a bit of a last-minute idea, so I … [Read more...]
Spaghetti Cheese Casserole
I cannot remember when we first started making this outstanding Spaghetti Cheese Casserole. It feels like it has been part of our dinner repertoire since forever! It is one of those "old style" recipes that you sometimes find in community type cookbooks or tucked away in a big stack of yellowing recipe cards. I often made this casserole when our kids were little and into their teens, but lately, it seems to be Music Man's "go to" supper when he cooks. Hearty, filling, and … [Read more...]
