It’s already the fourth week of July – how did that happen? For anyone starting their summer vacation, there’s a pretty good week of weather ahead. I’m glad to see temperatures in the 20s again, as a break from last week’s heat wave.

Slow Cooker Swiss Steak
One of our family favourite meals is Swiss Steak. It’s quick and easy to prepare, and tastes great. You can use a less expensive cut of meat, and the long cooking time will make it tender. Continue reading “Slow Cooker Swiss Steak”
Weekly Meal Plan 2025-07-12
Here in Mississauga, the forecast for next week shows clouds every day, with temperatures in the high 20s and low 30s. It could be worse, I guess!
For this week’s menu, I chose old favourites from our meal plan, and with no new recipes. We’ll take it easy, and maybe try something new next week! Continue reading “Weekly Meal Plan 2025-07-12”
Slow Cooker Apple Pork Roast
This slow cooker pork recipe is easy to prepare, and tastes delicious. The only hard part is waiting until it’s cooked, and ready for supper!
We make this at least once a month, and it makes enough for leftovers for the next day’s supper. Perfect!
Pork Tenderloin in Lemon Sauce
During the winter, we eat lots of stews and hearty casseroles. But on hot summer days, we look for lighter recipes for our supper meals, like this pork tenderloin recipe. Continue reading “Pork Tenderloin in Lemon Sauce”
Easy Chicken Casserole
The recipe was originally in Casseroles, in the old “Company’s Coming” cookbook series, published here in Canada, by Jean Pare. I collected quite a few books from that series!
Pasta With Steak Strips
The first time we made this recipe was way back in March 2008! We had leftover rib eye steak in the fridge, and fresh asparagus. Those ingredients inspired this quick and delicious supper recipe.
Stovetop Swiss Steak
I’ve been making this stove top Swiss Steak recipe, for as long as we’ve been married! I found the original version in a small cookbook published by the Ontario Department of Agriculture & Food, probably in the early 70s.
Pork Chops With Apples and Pears
This is one of my favorite ways to have pork chops, and if we can’t find ripe pears, we use good quality jarred pears in juice. Canned pears would work too! Continue reading “Pork Chops With Apples and Pears”
Hamburger Scramble
We make variations on this quick ground beef recipe, adding whatever vegetables and seasonings that we have on hand. It’s not pretty, but it’s perfect for nights when you’re tired, and the cupboards are almost bare.
