Hello everyone, I try to cook with turkeyoften as an alternative to chicken to stay out of the red-meat-zone. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to cook with large pieces of turkey, so I usually opt for ground turkey. Some recipes I use ground turkey for include meatloaf, burritos and chili. Basically, anywhere you can … Continue reading
Hello everyone, To-go breakfasts are always great for busy or unorganized mornings. However, I find a lot of these options are either lower in protein (ex: oatmeal, various baked goods) or higher in sugar (ex: yogurt, pastries) then I would like.

BuzzFeed named Duchess as one of the top 23 bakeries around the world you need to visit (and we all know how BuzzFeed is THE WORD when it comes to everything!) Additionally, our super-hip selfie Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ate … Continue reading
Hello everyone, John and I made a marvellous discovery … next to the roasted chicken, Safeway sells cooked ham. With the delicious maple scent overpowering the chicken it was sitting next too, John and I had to grab one for dinner. It was a pretty big hunk of meat, too much for two people, so I … Continue reading
Hello everyone, I decided one day that barley goes really nicely with melted cheese. Given that it’s fall and squash is in season, I thought it would be a nice idea to create a dish with squash and barley and cheese all together as one happy family! This recipe is basically mac n’ cheese where … Continue reading
