I love cooking flavourful dishes for supper, but I don’t always have the time to cook something that requires a lot of ingredients and time. Between the kids homework, dance class, chores, reading, and all of the other things that come with normal family life during the precious hours between school and bedtime, I need to stick with quick and easy suppers. The other day, I had the desire to make some decadent and creamy mushroom risotto. If you’ve ever tried risotto, you’ll know how comforting and delicious this rice dish tastes. So yummy! With the help of Minute Rice and my taste buds, I was able to come up with a method to make a mock risotto that tastes just as creamy as the real thing but takes much less time to make. Let me show you how easy it is to make this chicken and mushroom mock risotto!Continue reading

It’s hard to find lunches and suppers to make that are both fast and nutritious. Often, it’s one or the other but not both!

One of my latest favourites? Steamed lemon pepper fish and asparagus packets. I can prep these in no time at all, and steaming them in the packet locks all the flavours in. Let me show you how easy it is to make these fish & asparagus packets. They’re such a quick and nutritious option for lunch or dinner!
