Camping Potatoes

July 21, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

Summer is in full swing here and so is camping season. I grew up camping every summer and still love camping as an adult. Last year was the first time we went camping in a few years and it reignited my love of camping. With camping comes camp cooking, so today I’m sharing my go to camping recipe. I love to prep these camping potatoes and take them up in the cooler. They’re so easy to cook on a bbq or even an open fire. They’re also insanely yummy and go great with everything!

Camping PotatoesFoil Wrapped Camping Potatoes

 

To prep these potatoes for camping is super easy. You could absolutly make them at your campsite, but I prep then in advance. I like to do as much food prep as I can before I leave on a trip. Then I can enjoy every second of camping!

Just slice up the potatoes very thinly (the thinner the better!) and do the same with the onion. Coat with salt, pepper, garlic powder add a tiny bit of olive oil. Place in a thin layer on aluminum foil, top with butter and wrap tightly. I like to throw the foil wrapped potatoes in a large ziplock bag and store in my cooler until I’m ready to cook. They will keep for a few days so you don’t need to rush and cook them right away. But keep in mind that potatoes do oxidize when they’re cut. So they could durn a bit dark if exposed to air. I coat the potatoes in olive oil to try to mitigate that a bit. I promise even if they oxidize they will be delicious but they just might not look so good.

We cook our potatoes on our camp grill, but you could cook them over the campfire. Depending how long we’re camping for I usually double this recipe and serve these with two of our favourite camping dinners. The first night of our trip we always have really high quality steaks with camping potatoes and a big yummy salad. This is such a good summer meal I often make it even if we’re not camping. The other meal we make these potatoes with is grilled spicy Italian sausage, sautéed bell peppers and camping potatoes. This is easily my husband favourite meal to have when camping and just like the steak its so easy (and yummy!).

So do you have a favourite camping recipe? I’m always on the hunt for something new to take camping!

Cheddar Drop Biscuits

This post was originally published on September 6th, 2018.

On Sunday’s I like to go all out an make a really delicious dinner. I make lots of sides and sometimes I even make dessert, all from scratch. We have a nice glass of wine and linger at the table a little longer then normal. This is one of our favourite weekend traditions. These biscuits are a highly requested Sunday night side. They go well with just about everything.

Easy Cheddar Biscuits

Super Simple Cheddar Biscuits

These biscuits are so savoury and delicious. They’re rich yet light and so easy to make. The chives in these biscuits add a delicious light onion flavour to these biscuits that pairs really well with cheese in these biscuits. Plus the chives cut the richness in the biscuits and add a freshness.

I love to serve these at a bbq, but I’ve brought these to thanksgiving before and they were a big hit. They’re also super delicious with chicken soup. And if there are leftovers they go great with eggs and bacon for breakfast! I’ve even make these in a large size and used them for egg sandwiches (so yummy!).

Cheddar Biscuits

These biscuits are also super easy to make. They only use one bowl and since they are drop biscuits there’s not rolling and cutting. Just scoop them out, and drop them on the tray! So dang easy and such a crowd pleaser. Let me know if you try these, I’m sure you’ll love them!

Watermelon and Strawberry Popsicles

June 29, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

I love summer, long evenings, camping, days at the lake and all the yummy food and treats at a cook out! Does anything beat it? I really don’t think so. With the first summer celebration coming up on Wednesday (Canada Day!) Although were staying home and having a bbq for two (thanks COVID). I still wanted to find a refreshing, easy, healthy and delicious summer treat to make. Enter Watermelon and Strawberry popsicles! Not only are these delicious, but dessert is already made for Canada Day.

Watermelon Popsicles

I wanted to create a popsicle that was healthy and guilt free. I find I reach for fruity treats often in the summer and I’d rather them be a healthy option. These popsicles are simply blended fruit! Yep that’s all, there’s nothing more to it.

Ingredients

  • Watermelon
  • Strawberries
  • Lime Juice

Just blend your fruit together until smooth, pour into popsicle tray (I used this one), freeze and enjoy. Isn’t that insanely easy? Yep! These were fun to make too so I think it would be fun to involve your kids in making them as well.

Healthy Popsicles

Watermelon and Strawberry Popsicles

I’m sure you noticed there was no sugar or sweetener in my ingredients list. That’s because I find the blended fruit plenty sweet enough. But if you want things a bit sweeter, or your fruit is a little under ripe you could add a tablespoon or two of honey. Of course you could just use sugar, but I like to keep this natural whenever possible. Plus honey and watermelon is a winning combination!

Now you could make these popsicles adult by spiking with your liquor of choice, you could add extra lime and tequila for a watermelon margarita popsicle (YUM!). Or place an unskilled popsicle in a glass of champagne or prosseco for a super fun cocktail! Just make sure you mark which tray is for the grown ups!

I know I’ll be making these all summer long and I hope you all do too! Enjoy and stay safe this Canada Day (and 4th of July).

Two Ingredient Flax Crackers

Two Ingredient Flax Crackers

I am always on the hunt for healthy and yummy snacks so when I come across a recipe that’s super simple filling and healthy I have to try it. Since I follow the F-Factor diet (read about it in my monthly goals) getting as much fibre into my system everyday is super important to me. When I saw Megan Shanley’s flax cracker recipe on instagram I knew I had to try it out and make it my own. I have been making these non stop for a few months. I tweaked the recipe to my liking, and now I’m ready to share this with all of you.

The main ingredient in these crackers are flax seeds you will get tons of fibre and omega-3’s in every single serving. Pair them with a your favourite dip or spread and I think you will be blown away by how satisfying such a simple snack can be. Personally I like to spread a little bit of herb and garlic cream cheese on them or even use them as a salad topper. Another thing I think they would be yummy with is some salmon or tuna salad. That’s next up for me to try!

Two Ingredient Flax CrackersTwo Ingredient Flax CrackersTwo Ingredient Flax Crackers

The method to make these crackers is super simple. Just soak the flax seeds overnight, mix it one egg white and the seasonings of your choosing. My favourite combo is rosemary, garlic and onion. Then spread the mixture out on a baking sheet and bake at 275°F until the crackers are nice and crispy! Once they are cooled break them into small pieces and enjoy. See what I said, they’re super easy!

If you give these a try let me know what flavour combination you try. Next on my list is everything but the bagel seasoning! Happy snacking!

Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower Mash

March 21, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

Today I am going to share how I make garlic parmesan cauliflower mash. With everything going on with COVID-19 (honestly can’t believe this is happening) I thought sharing a comforting dish felt right. I’ve actually been meaning to share this recipe for weeks now, but I’ve been so busy I haven’t been able to get on my computer and write this recipe out. Of course now that we’re all practicing social distancing and staying at home to help flatten the curve I’ve got plenty of time to write out some recipes.

Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower Mash

I have been making cauliflower mash like crazy lately. It’s quickly become a favourite and highly requested side in my house. I have nothing against a potato but the nutrition in cauliflower is much higher and the carbohydrates are much lower. Since we’ve been eating healthier and I’ve been following f-factor (see my 2020 goals to learn more!) this recipe has become an indulgence we can feel good about.

For this recipe you’ll need…

  • Cauliflower
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Parmesan
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Butter
Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower Mash
Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower Mash

I start by steaming a whole head of cauliflower and the garlic cloves until fork tender. Once this are ready I add the vegetables, parmesan, butter and seasoning to a food processor along with a little bit of the steaming liquid. I them blend the whole mixture together until smooth. It’s seriously so easy!

I really find this easier them making mashed potatoes, you don’t need a potato masher, of a mixer. You also don’t need to heat milk and butter either. This cauliflower mash is smooth, creamy and decadent tasting. You would not know it is cauliflower.

I hope you can get your hands on a cauliflower while you’re at home cooking up a storm during this difficult time. Bringing the loved ones in your home together to enjoy a delicious and healthy meal is a huge benefit of this time. I think this dish would be a welcomed addition to any occasion.

Sending love, stay strong, stay safe and keep cooking.

Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Squares

February 3, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

I have a major treat for you today! Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Squares!! These are so yummy!!! And guess what they don’t contain any sugar! I love to bake with natural sweeteners and this recipe fits the bill perfectly.

Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Squares

I got the idea for this recipe from Ambitious Kitchen, Monique is such an inspiration to me and I’m so glad I adapted this recipe.

These Rice Krispie squares would be great as a healthy Valentine’s Day treat. If you or your partner are anything like me and my husband your still working on your 2020 goals and need to keep things pretty clean this Valentine’s Day. This hits the spot, although I am going to miss having a heart shaped box of chocolates or a couple of yummy linzer cookies!

These Rice Krispie squares are rich and satisfying. The peanut butter base is sweetened with maple syrup and flavoured with vanilla (I wish all PB tasted this good!). The top is covered in a this layer of quality dark chocolate and sprinkled with flaky sea salt!

My mouth is watering just thinking about eating these again!

Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Squares

What makes these so YUMMY!

  • Natural Peanut Butter – lets you control the sweetness and packs a punch of PB flavour! The Costco Brand is my fav!
  • Real Maple Syrup – My go to natural sweetener, and it’s vegan!
  • Vanilla – A must is every recipe!
  • Ground Flax Seed – Adds a nice boost of fibre and Omegas!
  • High Quality Dark Chocolate – My favourite brands are Green & Balck’s or Theo. My favourite dairy free brand is Lily’s.
  • Flaky Sea Salt – Creates that salty sweet combo we all love!

Tips For the Perfect Bar

  1. Heat the peanut butter mixture over low heat. If it’s too high the peanut butter will stiffen up and the bars won’t hold there shape.
  2. When cutting the bars pull them out of the fridge for at least 10 minutes before you slice them. Bonus points if you use a hot dry knife to get nice clean cuts.

I love how this recipe turned out. I may have to sneak into the deep freeze tonight and grab one. I hope they make you and your sweetheart as happy as they make me!
