Well, I am back with another super easy chicken recipe 🙂
Chicken is our go-to dish for any night of the week. We grill it (on an indoor grill), bake it, pan fry it, stuff it, or even throw it in the slow cooker. But, as I am sure you can appreciate, when you eat chicken almost daily, you really need to experiment with flavours or else you will get bored.

A few weeks ago we were over at Kim and Ryan’s for an amazing dinner.  Kim surprised Jamie with an über delicious Triple BerryCrumble for his birthday. As part of the menu for the evening, Kim made these delicious Spinach Balls.  They were very tasty and we ate them all before dinner was served.

I mentioned before that soup is great because it can be made with basically anything from your pantry. Well, this soup was supposed to be Minestrone but as I started gathering up all the ingredients, I realized that I was missing some key ingredients. I had no spinach, no pasta and no navy beans. So, as I rummaged around in the cupboard and freezer I grabbed some items and thought to myself, that I would make a mystery soup!

Vegetables. I love them. OK, I know I say I love a lot of things, bacon, chocolate, peanut butter, etc, but I do love vegetables. There isn’t anything they can’t do. Soups, salads, entrées and, of course, side dishes.

I was browsing around on Strawberry Ginger’s blog and stumbled across her recipe for Root Vegetable & Apple Soup. My first reaction was Yummy! Then I got thinking about making my own version of a Butternut Squash Soup.

You are likely expecting another recipe that starts with white flour, milk and some kind of fat (butter/shortening). Well, we can’t eat like that all the time, no matter how much we would love to, so I thought I would share with you one of my week-night favourites.
