In Canada growing up, one of the most popular meals you would look forward to was Kraft Dinner, to our neighbors to the south they would just simply call it Mac and Cheese, making this homemade is so much better, and tastes sooooo amazing, its worth the time and effort we promise!
Phase 1 Noodles.
You can use what ever noodles you want, its your choice, make one you feel a sauce will stick to rather easily, make them as per its directions.
When the noodles are all cooked drain them, don’t rinse them, this will make the sauce incredibly hard to stick to, and you want it sticky so leave that noodle starch on.
Phase 2 Making a Rue.
So in another pot you want to add some margarine, or butter, its your choice butter is a better choice, but we understand butter can be super expensive, and also not always something you have available.
You then want to add some flour, maybe half a cup and mix it to add it into the butter and make sure you get this well mixed or your going to wind up with clumps of flour in your mouth, it doesn’t taste good, I can promise you!
Add in 2 cans of coconut milk and stir that around.
Now take 2 types of cheese, maybe half a block of 2 cheeses, choose the cheese you like and start to slowly add it in and stir it, (You need to constantly stir this or it will burn) add more cheese after what you added has melted in and keep doing this until all your cheese is incorporated.
Taste your sauce make sure it tastes the way you want it, you may have to add more cheese in.
When its finished pour it into the noodles, and stir it well, the only other thing you may want to add is fresh cracked pepper, but honestly it should be good enough!
We hope you like this, you can ask around, many people will say Kraft Dinner is Crap Dinner, but they will all love Homemade Mac and Cheese! We hope you do too.
This is an easy, fast and healthy jam to spread on your toast in the morning, super fun to make and worth every moment it takes to make.
This does not require any pectin as rhubarb makes it own natural pectin, you also don’t need to add water as there will be enough natural juices in it already.
And you can use frozen fruit, it will work perfectly fine!
All you need is a few spoonful’s of brown sugar.
Frozen Blueberries, frozen rhubarb, some lemon juice and cinimon!
Add that all into a tall pot and boil for 30 minutes, just leave it simmer, you can mix it a bit if you want, but thats it, super simple and easy right?
Once its done boiling take it off the heat and give it about 30 minutes or so to cool down before you put it in containers, this will help thicken it up alot.
What do you think, I think it tastes amazing, and has a great taste to it and absolutely one of my favorite jams!
BBQ Chicken Pizza just happens to be one of my wife’s favorite pizzas, she really enjoys it,. a lot, so this is one I end up making a lot for her.
Pizza is fun to make, you can buy your crust, you can make it, and I would encourage you to get a bread maker, with the price of bread these days making your own would be so much more simple and cheaper, and making pizza dough is so much easier that way.
In this recipe I’m going to let you choose how you want your own dough, I did not include a dough making recipe as I use a bread maker, and I’m aware that not everyone does.
So lets take some chicken breast chunk it up and start cooking with it, use any spice you want, its more your taste, you can make it hot, or not the choice is yours, Make sure your using some BBQ sauce as you cook it. I would say no salt, and use pepper and garlic to it.
Make sure your chickens is fully cooked.
At this time I would go ahead and pre heat your oven to 500 degrees.
Now on your pizza dough, add a layer of BBQ Sauce, now this sauce should be something you really enjoy a good flavored BBQ Sauce will go a long way instead of just a cheap flavorless one, we are not going to be using a tomato based sauce for this just a BBQ Sauce so lets make it good.
Put your chicken over it so there is a good coverage of it.
Add some chopped up onion green pepper and mushrooms over it.
And finish off with some nice shredded cheese (Please shred this your self, pre bought is not healthy and also more expensive so its not worth the money.
When the oven is done pre heating, bake the pizza for 20 minutes, or when nice and golden (Keep an eye on it, every oven is different.)
Thats it, let the pizza cool a bit before digging in, give it at least 5 to 10 minutes, then cut it up and enjoy.
We hope you enjoy this, and try it sometime, Aimee loves sharing this one.
BTW just a side note, yes Pineapple does belong on pizza, js.
Anyone with any health issues should respect Chickpeas as they are some of the most amazing things you can eat, they help you a lot, they helped me get my A1C perfect the last few quarters, so they are really good for you. Chickpeas are good for you to the fact they will fill you up and not leave you feeling hungry, while offering a lot of nutrients and are truly one of natures miracle foods.

The sausage party is a great treat in the summer, instead of having a crappy hotdog, lets make a sausage, made just right, easy simple, but yet tastes amazing!
Phase 1 Boil The Sausages
Choose your sausages, you can get many different flavors at your local grocery store, but choose the ones that look good and think will taste good, start by taking a pot and boil some water, when the water is boiling start to boil your sauces until they are cooked.
Phase 2 Chop some veggies
I like Onions Red Peppers and Mushrooms, give them all a good rough chop, simple as that.
Phase 3 BBQ Sauce
We could use a simple store bought bbq sauce and it would be easy and done with, and please feel free to if you want, but we like to make things a bit more complicated as it tastes better and youll have a better reward at the end.
In a bowl mix in.
Chinese BBQ Sauce.
American BBQ Sauce.
Dijon Mustard (You can use yellow if thats all you have.)
Rice Wine Vinigar.
Apple Cyder Vinigar.
Mix this well and set aside!
Phase 4 Cook the Veggies.
Cook your veggies down so they are soft but not caramalized.
Phase 5 Re Cook The Sausages
Take the sausages out and slice them up then mix them in with the BBQ sauce, and then fry them up till they are done, nothing to complicated here, you want them to be grilled good.
Phase 6 Fill The Bun
Take a larger hotdog bun, and put your sausages inside it, and then fill with some veggies, you shouldn’t need condiments on this as the BBQ sauce should still be dripping over the sausages that it should do the job fine, and your done!
This was short and sweet and simple, it doesn’t take a whole lot to do this and it tastes amazing, you can serve this with corn on the cob and some fries! You can add cheese on top if you like as well!
Pumpkin pie is a great seasonal desert, something everyone loves, and honestly a simple easy and can be diabetic friendly!
You can even make a good treat out of the seeds, there is a lot of possibilities!
Phase 1 Clean that Pumpkin out!
So cut the pumpkin into pieces, (You may need 2 depending on the size.)
clean the guts and seeds out and disregard, like I said you can bake the seeds separately!
Put the sliced pumpkin on a baking tray, and bake at 350d for an hour and a half!
Phase 2 Clean the skin off!
You want to wait until the pumpkin has cooled off so you don’t burn yourself, but once it has cooled enough you can take a big spoon and just peel the skin off and put the rest into a blender.
Add the following into the blender.
2 Eggs
Nutmeg
Cloves
Cinnamon
Now run this through the blender and puree it.
Phase 3 Pie!
Now you can make your own pie crust, or you can buy it, personally sometimes its cheaper to buy it, but can be fun to make your own, but what ever you choose to do, put a pie crust on a baking tray and pour the puree inside it, you want to bake this in a pre heated oven set at 450d for 15 minutes.
Thats it when its done let it cool off before serving!
I’m not sure about everyone else’s family but Thanksgiving and Christmas everyone wants pumpkin pie, and what a better way to send your love to make one or 2 or 3 yourself!
Ever wonder what the best burger is? Is it Wagu, it probably is, but honestly its far out of most peoples price range, and isn’t so easy to find or afford, with out blowing your whole pay check on one meal, there is an alternative, and that is Bison, Bison is very regulated, and farmers are not allowed to do the same thing they do with cattle which means that there are no growth hormones’ or any other chemical, so bison is a lot better for you, along with the fact that it is very lean, so it one of the best tasting burgers you can get for your money hands down.
This is one reason you want a very high performance food processor, when Aimee and I want ground beef, we don’t buy ground beef, we buy steak, roast or other meats and grind it into ground beef.
Some times when you find Bison meat, its not ground for you, but rather steaks, or cubes, so if you want burgers you have to grind it yourself, and this is why having a good food processor is important, so you can make your own ground beef.
If you never had Bison before I urge you to take a moment and try this recipe as you won’t be disappointed, this is absolutely the best burger your ever going to eat.
Phase 1 Wheres the Beef
Take your bison meat and simply put it into the food processor, no spices at all, just pure meat, grind it up until its a consistency of ground beef.
Take the meat out and start forming them into patties, we like smash burgers so we just made Bison balls.
You want to leave this sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before you cook, in the mean time oil a frying pan up and heat it up so when your ready to cook its hot and waiting.
While we are waiting for the patties to come to room temperature we shall make some sauce.
Phase 2 Sauce Me!
In a bowl pour in a lot of mayo, (don’t worry you can save this for future use to.)
put in a small amount of apple cyder vinegar
Put in a bit of ketchup
Put in some mustard
I would put some dill pickles in the food processor and then put this in too.
And give it a good mix and make sure its all incorporated.
Phase 3 Cook the burgers
Fry up your burgers on the last flip put on a slice of good quality cheese, you took your time to make such a high quality burger you want to make sure your using good cheese, don’t cheap out here.
Phase 4 Putting it together
Ok, so its time to put this all together, grab your favorite bun and lets layer.
First we are going to put some lettuce then a bit of sauce.
Your burger, and if you want some more cheese, do her up.
More sauce, tomato, onion, and lettuce and finally the bun.
Thats it folks, your friends should be jelous you have the best burger around, and I promise you, if you serve this to your friends and family, they will absolutely think your the best cook in the world!
You can add some hot sauce to your burger sauce if you want, but personally I don’t think its the best idea in the world, to me it distracts from the flavor of the meat,
Service this with some corn and some homemade French fries!
I hope you enjoy this, drop me a line if you have made this, let me know what you think!
Baked beans is a very Atlantic Canadian dish, it can feed a large family, its very easy to make, and can be a great comfort food, and is totally worth making.
Please note that when making this you do want to add bacon, use the lower fat version if you can, and please use the real Canadian bacon like this.
Not the round stuff that is often labeled as Canadian bacon, its not.
It is best to use a slow cooker for this, and plan plenty of time ahead because you do need to soak your beans.
Phase 1 Soak your beans
You want to buy a bag of navy beans and put them in a large container and soak them over night, and this is something that you have to do, do not rush this, it should be soaked no less than 8 hours, preferably 12.
Phase 2 Boil
Take your beans and drain and then rinse them off, clean out any bad ones and disregard them.
Boil them for 30 minutes on medium heat.
Phase 3 Making the beans
Ingredients
Pepper
1 Cup of warm water
Salt
Cloves
All spice
1 container of molassis
1 Cup of brown sugar
Yellow mustard
2 Diced onions
Maple Syrup
Bacon
Into the slow cooker
Lets put the beans into the slow cooker
As you add things in to the slow cooker stir things very evenly.
Take a large measuring cup, add 1 cup of warm water and then add some pepper, salt, cloves, all spice mix well.
Add the mixture and stir.
Add more water until the beans are almost submerged, but not over the beans just under.
Add 1 cup of brown sugar
Add one small container of molasses, make sure to drain it, it can be a real pain to do.
Add a good amount of mustard, a few good squeezes.
Add 2 diced onions.
Add some maple syrup.
Add some sliced up bacon, if you want it to be crispy bacon make sure to fry it up first.
cook this on low on your slow cooker for 8 hours, if you cook this for longer thats ok to, eventually the liquid will reduce and youll end up with an amazing meal, you can top this with more mustard if you want, but what ever you do, do not use ketchup at all! You can serve this with a slice of homemade bread, and if you wish to make this vegan, thats easy just don’t add bacon, or you can always add a vegan alternative.
Corn Chowder is a simple easy meal, not at all hard, it tastes great, and so simple even a beginner can do this with out a sweat.
As an Atlantic Canadian this is a pretty staple part of our diet, I would recommend you use Russet Potatoes, as they are grown perfect for this.
Ingredients
Bacon
2 cans of creamed corn
2 onions
3 russet potatoes
1 container of heavy cream (whipping cream)
Celeri
Black pepper
Prepping
Cut up the bacon and put it in a bowl
Slice up the onions, you want these to be very thin
Slice up the potatoes, you want these in cubes
Slice up the celery
Lets get cooking
You want to use a large cooking pot for this, and your going to start by cooking the bacon on the bottom, no oil or greases, bacon produces enough of that, cook it down enough so its cooked but still to the point that its soft.
Add the onion and potatoes, and start cooking them, you want them soft.
Add the cans of cream corn.
Keep mixing this so that its not all stuck to the bottom.
Mix in some pepper.
Start pouring in the milk only to the point that your getting the volume that you want.
Add a lot of black pepper.
Finally add the celery.
Let the chowder simmer and it shouldn’t take too long, and then take it off of the heat.
Thats it, simple and easy and it tastes amazing, best served with crackers, it can be a meal on its own, or you can have it as a side dish, and should taste amazing!
