  I am really excited to share this one pan sheet pan supper for two with you today for Garlic Butter Salmon & Broccoli!  Salmon and broccoli are perfect partners.  So are salmon and garlic! Put the three together and you have a really delicious entree that everyone will love.  It is perfectly sized for two but you can very easily multiply the amounts to serve more!   Best of all th whole thing bakes on one baking sheet, which, if you line it with aluminium foil, makes for a really no fuss no muss supper option!  I did bake some sweet potatoes to have with it as well, which makes this a Triple Super-food Supper option!   Roasting sweet potatoes is so easy. I just wash them well, dry and pop them onto a baking sheet and into a hot oven. They are usually done in about 35 to 40 minutes, depending on their size.  Simply cut in half, scoop out the flesh and mash. Nothing else needed.  They taste fabulous all on their own.  Roasting sweet ...

  Ever have one of those days?  I am having one today.  I have had a recipe for Homemade Molasses Bear Paw Cookies bookmarked to bake for quite a long time now.  You can find it here .   After my last fail at making similar cookies, my sister had shared this one with me, thinking that it might be a better option.   I love molasses cookies.  My mom made wonderful ones. We never went home for a visit but what a tin full of molasses cookies was waiting for us. I will always equate mom with those special treats, and I strongly suspect that I will never ever be able to bake any as good as the memory of the taste of hers, especially now that she is no longer with us.  By the way, these first two cookie photos are not the Bear Paws  . . .  These are the bear paws and they were an unmitigated disaster.  The dough was very sticky, but hers also looked quite sticky.  I decided to use my piping bag, not wanting to get my hands all co...

   It was so lovely and sunny today that I decided to make us a salad for our supper.  I loosely based the flavours on a traditional Nicoise Salad (which uses Tuna), but used chicken instead and added some potatoes for my Carb Loving husband!    My version was low carb, which meant no potatoes. Instead I had some leftover steamed asparagus that I used and some sliced cooked beetroot. In all truth I could not finish it, and it was delicious!   I have only recently discovered that you can roast frozen beans on a baking tray at the same time you roast other things like potatoes or meat.  They come out beautifully.  A bit caramelised on the edges, perfectly cooked, and the flavour is fantastic!   To be honest I have never been overly fond of frozen beans, but this way I love them.  We are funny in our family, we like tinned beans . . .  that's what we were brought up on.   I had some leftover Rotisserie Chicken from one we had boug...

  I was wanting something fresh and crunchy to eat the other day, and then I remembered the Deli Kitchen Skinni Wraps I had in the freezer, so I took them out to thaw and started thinking about what I was going to do with them!    We are always being told to eat a "Rainbow."  A mix of five or more servings of vegetables and fruits in a day.  I have heard as many as 8.  This can be a bit hard to do, but it isn't impossible, and your heart  and body will thank you for it!    I love the Deli Kitchen Skinni Wraps!   The come in plain and multi grain.    They truly are very thin and coming in at less than 100 calories per wrap, they are the wise choice for someone who is trying to low carb it and eat healthier!    Plus they come in a handy packaging which boasts a peel and stick closure, which means they will stay fresh for longer.  They also freeze very well.    They also boast a unique rectangular s...
