SLOW COOKER CHICKEN One of my favorite ways to make a whole chicken is in my slow cooker. Slow Cooker Chicken is so easy to throw together, and at dinner time you have a lovely whole chicken to eat or shred and use in another recipe. Slow Cooker Chicken Ingredients 1 whole chicken around 5 pounds, insides removed and washed and patted dry 1 tablespoon of paprika – more or less to taste 3 Tablespoons of steak seasoning – more or less to taste Salt and Pepper Directions Season chicken, inside and out. Cook in slow cooker lined with foil balls on high for 3 to 4 hours. Chicken should be cooked to 165 degrees. Recipe notes: I like to use the juices at the bottom of the slow cooker to baste the chicken while it is resting, just to add even more flavor. Though the skin is flavorful, it doesn’t really get crispy with this cooking method. I use a 5 quart slow cooker, and my chicken fits perfectly. Resist opening the lid to check progress, slow cookers take a long time to come back up to temper...

This is the best Broccoli Salad recipe and is always the first to go at BBQs and potlucks. This easy Broccoli Salad recipe is full of bacon, almonds, raisins (or craisins), and onion.  This Broccoli Salad recipe was originally posted in March of 2013. It goes well with Baked Beans, Hawaiian Grilled Chicken, or this Corn Tomato Avocado Salad. BROCCOLI SALAD I haven’t posted lately because food and I have had a love/hate relationship. Or in my husband’s words…a hate/hate relationship. I’m pregnant…and finally telling. (p.s. this was originally posted in 2013…I’m not pregnant right now!) And now that I’m 17 weeks my appetite is back with a vengeance. And all this baby wants is egg salad and mustard covered sandwiches. And a whole lot of this broccoli salad. I understand that broccoli covered in nuts, bacon, and mayo kind of defeats the whole purpose of eating broccoli. Did I mention the bacon?! But what baby wants…baby gets. BROCCOLI SALAD RECIPE My friend Tara brought this to a BBQ a...

This winter cocktail tastes like a festive version of a piña colada! Blue Curacao and shredded coconut help give this tasty drink it's wintry flair. If you couldn’t already tell by this delicious winter cocktail, I’ve been spending most of my week lounging and relaxing, and I’m sure you’re right there with me. It’s the holidays. It’s the end of the year. If there was any time to catch a breather before we start fresh in the new year, it’s right now, amirite? Or at least, that’s been my mission this week. I’m just trying to keep everything low key and ride out the rest of the rest of the year with as little fanfare as possible. And thanks to this winter cocktail, I think I’m off to a pretty good start! Now, don’t get me wrong – it’ll be bittersweet to see this year go down in the history books. This year has been chock-full of wonderful highs and challenging lows, many of which culminated into me fulfilling a dream I’ve had since I was sixteen, so you know what? I’m going to party l...

BEEF ENCHILADAS Beef Enchiladas with an extra tasty, saucy filling, smothered with a homemade Enchilada Sauce. My time saving trick is to use one base Enchilada spice mix for both the sauce and filling! I love that there are so many variations of Beef Enchiladas in this big-wide-world. Simple ones, filled with a plain cooked beef filling then topped with enchilada sauce and (lots of) cheese. Fancy ones with the addition of chillies, beans, corn and even olives, sometimes even bacon. Hidden vegetable versions (don’t ever try that on me, I can pick them a mile away). Shredded beef enchiladas, short rib ones. And today I’m sharing mine.  Regular readers won’t be surprised when I say that this is a little different to most recipes you come across. The main difference being the beef filling which I like to make a bit saucy with the addition of refried beans (seriously, it’s so good!!!!) and extra flavourful by adding spices and a splash of homemade Enchilada sauce. I also like to add bl...

I am so happy the way this Mexican Chicken Soup has turned out. It is low in carb and not very rich. So you can have a big bowl of this soup without any guilt. The smokey flavours of this Low Carb Soup, makes it even more delicious. The Chicken is perfectly cooked because of slow cooking in a crock pot. If you are not worried about carbs, then load this soup with crunchy tortilla chips or add some charred corn. With this soup, I started my fitness routine again ( there is no connection between the two though). Do you find it difficult to get back to your routine post-vacation? Well, I do. It has been a week since I am back and I am finding it hard to get back to my regular routine. I started feeling terrible and low. I got back to my binge eating habits. Everything was a mess and I was desperately trying to set everything right. For some or other reason I was not able to start my workout. Finally, I am back to my healthy eating. No sugar, Low carb, High Protein and off course workout...
