Quick and Easy Airfryer Chicken Leg Quarters & Date Walnut Kale Salad

Quick and Easy Airfryer Chicken Leg Quarters & Date Walnut Kale Salad

Some days, the thought of cooking makes me want to hurl myself off my balcony.  Tell me I’m not alone in this. Like I like cooking, but why does everyone always have to eat everything? Why can’t we just have home-cooked meals that I don’t have to make?   I’m being dramatic? Yes, I am… because why does the hubs have to go out on the day I don’t feel like cooking? FML!  If he didn’t have a life, he would be able to cook for us, and that would be the end of my hangry temper tantrum.   Well, guess what?…

Jamaican Inspired Saucy Jerk Chicken

Jamaican Inspired Saucy Jerk Chicken

The wait is finally over!  For those of you who have been following me for the better part of last year know that I have been making my version of Saucy Jerk Chicken for a year now.  A LOT of you have requested it, and I shied away from posting it. There are a couple of reasons why I did not want to post it, and none of them had to do with me not wanting to share. I am not Jamaican, and this recipe is not authentic in any way. I don’t really know if this is authentic because…

Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping

Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping

It feels silly to write a fall/winter/cosy/rich recipe when it is 19 degrees outside.  It is way too sunny for a cozy meal.  But I would rather prepare you for the unavoidable Canadian winter that will creep up when you are least expecting it.  In fact it might even happen tonight! I’m taking bets!  Chicken pot pie has always been a part of my repertoire of easy dinners.  It doesn’t take a lot of time and with this recipe, you are doing it all in ONE pan.  Cook-bake-serve all in one. I can always get behind that.  I make chicken…

15 Minute Easy Air-Fryer Salmon

15 Minute Easy Air-Fryer Salmon

When September came around, we realized that our plates were full – of tasks.  We both have full time jobs, side hustles and my son was going to do virtual schooling. I couldn’t seem to figure out how I was going to create an extra hour a night to cook!  I was fearing that unfortunately we would fall back into our old ways of relying too much on take out. Our friends are big fans of air fryers.  They said that it was a life changing contraption and that, once we used it, it would be hard for us to…
