Rice and bean dish

by claudinemcteer | March 29, 2020 | Recipes | 0 Comments

I am all about minimal dishes when it comes to food prep. I'll definitely eat a salad right out of the mixing bowl and potentially will attempt to cut veggies without a cutting board meaning I'll cut in the air or just on the plate I am going to use. Does it always...

BBQ pineapple chicken

These are crazy times. I honestly don't really know what to think of all that is going on in the world. While I do understand the seriousness of this pandemic, what is more worrisome to me is the reaction of the people. This panic mode that has set in our communities...

Shrimp pesto pasta

If there is one thing I don't like doing is staring at the fridge and the pantry to try and figure out what to make for dinner. Hence why we meal plan. I really only have to think about it once every 7 to 10 days. While meal planning is very efficient and time saving,...

Coconut white fish sticks

I like to think I offer a variety of meal ideas that are simple enough and for the most part family friendly. But this month I am making an effort to offer quick and easy recipes that are favorites with my kids. No fancy plating, no fancy ingredients, just plain and...

Chickpea meatballs

We are wrapping up this month of meatless recipes with these chickpea meatballs. I have truly enjoyed branching out and including more plant-based protein on our menu. I think a lot of people are also trying to include more in their lifestyle and that's great....

Butternut squash tomato pasta

I am really digging this new trend of legume based noodles! While I am sure they have been around for some time, they are for sure gaining popularity and why wouldn't they. They are typically packed with over 20g of protein, which in my book is awesome especially for...

Black bean and cauliflower tacos

by claudinemcteer | February 9, 2020 | Recipes | 0 Comments

A few years ago, I would've told my husband I was making meatless tacos and he would've laughed and told me to stop kidding and throw in some shrimp or something. Funny enough, he brought up how he thought we should include more plant based protein in our diet. Don't...

Chickpea curry

I usually like to rotate meats when I build my meal plans. I would normally include a few days of chicken and salmon, some white fish, turkey and pork. It pays off that we shop at Costco for meats since we normally always have a decent stock around in the deep freeze....

Broccoli spinach soup

We've almost made it! The end of January is near. I know it's the case for a lot of people, to just feel like this month will never end. I mean, I get it. You enter this new month with a holiday withdrawal. And while schedule it good to get back to, there is also this...

Sweet potato and red lentil curry soup

I know I am probably the 5397th Albertan to complained about the weather but seriously, this has been a cold one. We are definitely feeling the cabin fever over here. While the kids can be entertained semi-easy and you can take them places to burn off energy, the dogs...
