Pizza Sauce

I've been searching for a great pizza sauce, so tired of using bottled stuff from the store. I've tried many recipes, but they never seem to work out quite right. I added all the things I liked about other recipes and finally came up with this one. A bit sweet and a bit spicy - perfect for a pizza.

Pizza Sauce

1 Tbsp Olive Oil

1 onion, diced

2 cloves Garlic, minced

796 ml Diced Tomatoes (28 oz)

2 Tbsp Tomato Paste

1 & 1/2 Tbsp Honey

2 tsp Anchovy Paste

3/4 tsp Oregano 

1/2 tsp Marjoram

3/4 tsp Basil

pinch Red Pepper Flakes

Salt & Pepper to taste

4 Tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese

In a saucepan, heat oil & add onion. Cook until onion starts to become clear then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, honey, anchovy paste, oregano, marjoram, basil, red pepper flakes, salt & pepper. Bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer for 30 minutes. Add parmesan cheese and cook for 5 more minutes. Let cool. Blend the sauce to get rid of the lumps of tomato & onion. Tastes even better if you let it sit for a day before using. Makes enough for about 2-3 pizzas. Also makes great dip for pizza sticks.

Try it with Best Ever Pizza Dough for a delicious home made meal.

Coconut Iced Tea

It's sunny and warm today so I decided to attempt one of my favourite drinks, a sweet lemon coconut iced tea served at my favourite vietnamese place, their "Special Iced Tea". I tried really hard to make it from tea & honey instead of the powder, but it just didn't taste right, so forgive the sugary mix, but it's a must if you want the right flavour! 

Coconut Iced Tea

6 cups Water

1/2 cup Good Host Original Iced Tea Powder (more to taste)

1/2 tsp Coconut Extract

1 lemon, sliced

Ice 

Mix water, iced tea mix and coconut extract in a juice jug. Stir until all the powder has dissolved. Add lemon slices and let sit for 10 minutes. Pour over ice in a tall glass. 

If you're making a glass just for you, make iced tea and just add a tiny splash of coconut extract & don't forget the lemon slice!

Put your feet up and enjoy!

Super Secret Chocolate Muffins

The super secret is...shhh, don't tell anyone...they are loaded with fruit & veggies and no one will ever know!

Lady & Bug would happily go without veggies forever if I let them, so here's a recipe I've been using to get a few good things in them when I'm feeling like the nutrients are a little lacking. It's also pretty flexible as far as what veggies or fruit to use, so start experimenting!

Super Secret Chocolate Muffins 

1/2 cup Butter

1 & 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Apple Sauce

2 Eggs

1/2 cup Greek Yogurt

1 tsp Vanilla

2 cups Shredded Zucchini* 

1 cup Blueberries* (crushed or puree and thawed if frozen)

1 cup Pureed Carrots* 

1 tsp Baking Soda

1/2 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 tsp Salt

2 & 1/2 cups Flour

3/4 cup Cocoa

1 tsp Espresso Powder (optional if you're baking them for kids)
1 cup Chocolate Chips (optional)

*I use zucchini, blue berries and carrots, but other options include: beets, spinach, pineapple, bananas, cauliflower, peas or pears - each will change the flavour, texture or colour, but experiment to find something that works for you. Any combination works as long as it's about 4 cups of moist fruit or veggie (shredded, pureed or mashed work best).

Preheat oven to 350F.

Combine butter & sugar in a mixer. Add apple sauce, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla, mix well. Add fruit/veggies and stir until combined. In a separate bowl combine baking soda, baking powder, salt, flour, cocoa and espresso powder. Add to liquid mixture and stir well. Stir in chocolate chips by hand.

Scoop into greased muffin tins and bake for 20 minutes. Cool before serving. Makes about 24 muffins.

A great way to hide the veggies and could easily be iced for a great cupcake alternative.

Cricket Snack Mix

It's Friday night in the Ladybug house. Daddy Ladybug goes to play hockey, Auntie Ladybug is out with friends, and Uncle Ladybug has a caregiver so it's just me and the kidlets. Tonight we're watching Frozen and eating our favourite snack, my take on the classic Chex Mix recipe!

Cricket Snack Mix

4 cups Shreddies

2 cup Pretzel Sticks

2 cups Cheezies

2 cups Cheese Nips

2 cups Cheese Bites

2 cups Mini Ritz

1/2 cup Butter, melted

1 & 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

1 Tbsp Frank's Red Hot Sauce

1 & 1/2 tsp Seasoning Salt

1 Tbsp Sugar

3/4 tsp Onion Powder

3/4 tsp Garlic Powder

1 tsp Paprika

Combine Shreddies, pretzel sticks, cheezies, cheese nips, cheese bites, and mini ritz in a bowl mix until evenly distributed. In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, seasoning salt, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika. Mix very well. Pour a bit of the sauce at a time on the snack mix and stir to coat. Re-stir sauce before pouring a bit each time until it is all poured on the snack mix. 

Spread on 2 cookie sheets and bake at 250F for 30 minutes, stirring mixture after 15 minutes so that it doesn't burn on one side. Let cool and serve.

Happy Snacking!

Blue Bacon Shepherd's Pie

Bacon, beef & blue cheese - Surprisingly decadent and comforting at the same time. 

Blue Bacon Shepherd's Pie

2lb bag of Baby Yellow Potatoes (diced)

1 pkg Bacon

1 Onion, diced

2 cloves Garlic, minced

4 cups Mushrooms, quartered (any kind ok)

1 lb Ground Beef

1 Tbsp Montreal Steak Spice 

3 Tbsp Flour

2 cups Beef Stock

2 Tbsp Worchestershire Sauce 

2 Tbsp Butter

1/4 cup Sour Cream 

1-2 tsp Blue Cheese (more if your family likes the flavour)

3-4 Tbsp Chives or Green Onions

Paprika

Boil potatoes in a large pot until tender. 

Chop package of bacon into 1/2 inch pieces. In a large skillet, fry bacon & remove grease. Set aside 1/2 cup of bacon for topping (optional). Add ground beef & brown. Remove any extra grease once browned. Add mushrooms, onions & garlic and steak spice. Cook until veggies are tender. Sprinkle with flour. 

In a separate bowl, add stock & Worcestershire and mix well. Add to meat mixture and stir slowly until thickened.

Drain potatoes. Mash with butter, sour cream & blue cheese. 

Put meat mixture into a baking dish & cover with potato mixture. Sprinkle remaining bacon, chives & paprika on top. Bake in 350 degree oven until bubbly (about 30 minutes).

Yumm, this is still one of my favourite meals of all time! I was surprised that my 3 year olds liked it, but they love bacon, so it was a pretty easy sell.

Make-Ahead Herb & Garlic Mashed Potatoes

At family gatherings, I often get asked to bring mashed potatoes, a staple with holiday dinners. It's hard to whip up mashed potatoes while getting two toddlers ready (not to mention trying to get ready myself), so I've been making my mashed potatoes the night before and baking them either right before I leave or where we're eating. It's so much easier! Plus this way I get to add some fun flavour to a pretty standard dish.

Make-Ahead Herb & Garlic Mashed Potatoes

8 medium Potatoes
1/4 cup Butter
1/2 cup Sour Cream
1/2 cup Herb & Garlic Cream Cheese
Salt & Pepper to taste
Paprika to taste or sprinkle on top

Cut the potatoes into 1" pieces and boil until a fork goes through easily (but not mushy). Strain the water and return to the pot. Add butter, sour cream & cream cheese and cover for 2 minutes while everything gets melty. Add seasonings to taste. Mash with a potato masher or use a mixer/hand blender if you like them whipped (I like mine with potato chunks and some skin as you can see in the picture!). Spread evenly in a 9 x 13 oven safe dish and bake for 20-30 minutes until golden on top.

The perfect companion to Easy Slow Cooker Roast Beef smothered in gravy - one of my ultimate favourite meals. Serves about 6 people.

Yum, second's please!

Bunny Snack

Bunny Snack

12 oz (about 2 cups) White Melting Chocolate

8 cup Air-Popped Popcorn

2 cups pretzel sticks (broken in half)

Melt chocolate in microwaveable container for 30 seconds at a time until melted. Combine popcorn, pretzel sticks and m&m's in a large bowl. Pour melted chocolate over other ingredients slowly, stopping to mix in occasionally until all the popcorn, pretzels & candy are coated.

Pour on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper to cool and harden before serving.

Great sweet & salty snack - we call it Bunny Crack in our house so beware!

Happy Easter.

100+ Things to do with Kids in Abbotsford, BC

I have been looking for a good list of things to do with kids in my home town (Abbotsford, BC, Canada) and so far I haven't found one, so I decided to do some research, ask fellow parents, talk to childcare workers, consult city resources, and scour the internet for ideas.

Herbed Meatballs

I've tried many meatball recipes and I keep coming back to this one, it's great with ground beef, pork, chicken, or turkey (or a combination of any of them). A basic staple of almost all my Big Cook days. I always have a bag on hand for days when I forget to plan my meal or don't have a lot of time to cook. Add any kind of sauce and it's an easy meal that makes everyone in my house happy.

This recipe makes about 40 meatballs. I usually make 4x this recipe for my big cook days. I recently discovered a much easier way to make uniform meatballs...here's my process (just clean the counters REALLY well before and after.

1/2 cup Oatmeal

Just add sauce to complete your meal - some great options:
Spicy Apricot Meatballs or Slow Cooker Swedish Meatballs

Freezer Instructions: Partially cook meatballs by frying until all sides are brown or baking in the oven on a baking sheet for 15 minutes. Freeze on baking sheet, then transfer to a plastic bag or container for easy use later.

Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken

We had a quick lunch at the mall the other day and I had some honey garlic chicken at the Chinese place. It was so tasty, I thought how can I make that a meal at home? Unfortunately, that means taking out the deep fried batter part, but a sticky honey and garlic sauce that's home-made is just as great!

Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken

8-10 Chicken Thighs

1 cup Ketchup

1/4 cup Soy Sauce

1/2 cup Honey

8 cloves Garlic, minced

2 Tbsp Cornstarch

1/4 cup Water

Place chicken in the bottom of a crock pot. For a crispy skin, turn the chicken thighs skin-side down in a hot skillet until browned. Combine ketchup, soy sauce, honey and garlic in a bowl and pour over chicken.

Cook in a slow cooker for 6 hours on low. 

About 1/2 hour before serving, skim the oil off the top (from the ketchup and the chicken). Combine cornstarch and water and mix well into sauce. Replace lid and let cook for 1/2 hour. Sauce will get a bit thicker as it cools, so let it sit without heat for 5-10 minutes and stir well before serving.

These were really yummy and the kids devoured it.

Freezer Meals: Big Cook Spring 2014 (Pantry Edition)

Spring is here, the trees are starting to bloom - it's my favorite time of year! 

Unfortunately the freezer is empty again and money is tight this month, so I wasn't able to make some of my usual freezer meals for my big cook - instead, I decided to do a Big Cook Day from the things I had in my pantry. 

Thanks to my bursting pantry and the freezer full of grass fed beef we bought in the fall, the only thing I still had to buy for this Big Cook Day was chicken (great sales on chicken breasts & thighs at my local store and it was 10% off on Tuesday!!!) and I couldn't resist a couple bags of shredded Swiss cheese from the 50% off bin to make one of my fav's. I only had my usual grocery budget to make this happen so we won't be buying much else this week...some milk & eggs and veggies from the market to round out our meals - but I'm gonna be so thankful for all this work when I don't have to do anything to prepare meals for the next few months. 

Pantry Big Cooks area great way to use up some of the stash that seems to accumulate in the pantry and freezer!

Once again, I wasn't free to just cook to my heart's content, so I had to split up the day into two parts; chicken in the morning and beef in the afternoon/evening. After dropping the kids off at Preschool, I had to do a quick shop to pick up chicken because it was 10% off Tuesday and I can't resist that wonderful savings on chicken that was already almost 1/2 price!

Before starting I got prepared. If you haven't read it yet, check out my post on Preparing for a Big Cook Day. 

I started with a huge batch of a staple that I would need in several recipes, Home Made Cream of Mushroom Soup (Condensed) (x3), so I could make some classic pantry meals without the canned mushroom soup - 2 recipes for the meals I was making and one for the freezer.

Once that was done, it was on to Creamy Swiss Chicken (x2).

Then on to the easy dump & pour recipes (so easy, I could do this all day!):

Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken (x3), Greek Chicken (x3), Bacon Maple Dijon Chicken (x2), and Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken (x3).

A little break to go pick up the kids from Preschool and it was on to lunch. Ladybug Soup (x2) was on the menu and I made a double batch with one for the freezer.

Ms. Ladybug was with us for the afternoon & early evening, so I was a little busy and distracted, but still managed to quickly whip up a family favorite, Slow Cooker Amtat Mongolian Beef (x4), for dinner (with 3 extras for the freezer) and Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff (x3) while it was cooking.

After Ms. Ladybug went home and Uncle Ladybug & the kids were in bed, I managed to make Herbed Meatballs. Half for Spicy Apricot Meatballs (x2), saving the other half for Slow Cooker Swedish Meatballs (x2).

Meals from this Big Cook Day:

• Home Made Cream of Mushroom Soup (Condensed)
• Creamy Swiss Chicken
• Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken
• Greek Chicken
• Bacon Maple Dijon Chicken
• Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken
• Ladybug Soup
• Slow Cooker Amtat Mongolian Beef
• Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
• Herbed Meatballs
• Spicy Apicot Meatballs
• Slow Cooker Swedish Meatballs

* Recipes will be coming in the next few weeks as I get time to post them.

Yup, that's 12 different meals - 29 meals in total. Whew, busy day, an empty pantry, and a very full freezer!

Yay for a pantry big cook day.
