Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Chicken

This is one of those recipes that I’ve been wanting to share with you guys for some time now. It’s a recipe I make regularly because it’s so simple and easy to throw together. There's nothing better than a BBQ pulled chicken sandwich on the deck with a cold beer. Throw in the fact that a slow cooker does all the work and it's not a hard sell. While I do make this chicken all year round, I really love it in the summer months. I know grilling is huge right now, but sometimes I

Sweet Hot Mustard Chicken Thighs

You can skip the first part of the instructions if you're using boneless, skinless thighs, which I do regularly. If you're looking to plan ahead triple the marinade ingredients and do three batches. Than freeze two for later use. More time for the important stuff like laying in the hot Alberta sunshine. Ingredients: 8 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs 1/2 cup Dijon mustard 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder 1 teaspoon salt 1

Greek Goddess Chicken Lettuce Wraps

So today, I am sharing one of my favorite ways to cook up chicken. Typically I’ll just serve it with rice, but I really wanted to do the whole “Greek Goddess” thing, so I made a really pretty, and even more delicious, pistachio basil goddess sauce, stuffed my chicken into some lettuce and then topped it with all the pretty things. Think of these as a Gyro, but done a little healthier and simpler. Ingredients: 4 tablespoons olive oil 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken, cut int

GRILLED HAWAIIAN BARBECUE CHICKEN IN FOIL

One of our favourite things to grill every summer has been foil packets. They are the perfect serving for each member of the family. Each little packet is complete with tender and flavorful meat and veggies. I loved this recipe so much that I decided to turn it into a foil packet version so we can enjoy it while camping too. It turned out so amazing the first time I didn't even need to tweak it. It's a perfect, fast and delicious way to start off the summer cooking! Serves

Spice up that boring Grilled Cheese Sandwich

After the success of combining jalapeño poppers with grilled cheese sandwiches (presto the jalapeño popper grilled cheese sandwich was born) I was wondering what other delicious delights I could turn into grilled cheese sandwiches. I take all of the flavours of a food that I am already totally into and use them in a grilled cheese sandwich. This is a switch on a classic bar food, buffalo chicken wings, which is one of my favourites flavours for chicken winds and basically any

Go get skewered.

Fall is here, you can feel it in the air and see it in the vibrant colours that surround us. You might think BBQ season is gone but I say no way! I find fall the perfect time to BBQ. It's cooler so there's minimal to no bugs but not so cool as to make you stand there shivering and shaking. I like variety in our food and I'm all about time management and meal planning whenever possible. I've put together three of my families favourites in this post. Pick the one you like or ma
