My favourite salad is Spinach Salad with Pear, Stilton and Candied Walnuts, but sometimes we don’t have all the ingredients, or enough time, to make that. Continue reading “Tossed Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing”
Chocolate Dump Cake
This cake is soft, gooey and absolutely delicious, which is surprising, considering its list of basic ingredients.
This recipe was used often during wartime when supplies were limited, which is why it doesn’t include milk or eggs. Despite that, it’s easy to make and always turns out great.

It’s the last week in July, and there’s a week of mixed weather ahead. I look forward to Wednesday and Thursday, with sun, and temperatures in the mid 20s. Also, 3 days have a chance of rain, but maybe that will change! Continue reading “Weekly Meal Plan 2025-07-26”

Chicken Parmesan
Chicken Parmesan is my favourite meal of all time! It’s like a pizza, but the bread is meat.
It’s so good and can be super versatile, if you want to eat it with bread, pasta, or even turn it into a sandwich.

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”

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!

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!
