Cookies and Catwalks: March 2013
http://cookiescatwalks.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 23, 2013. Wow, I've missed this. It's been so long since I've posted an entry. I'm on the computer so much for work that when the day is over, the last thing I want to do is stare at a computer screen. Unfortunately, this has led me to abandon my blog and other creative projects that I really do enjoy. It's nice to know they're still here waiting for me when I feel compelled or inspired to do so. I also prefer this to all other meatloaf recipes I've cooked with in the past. 1 tsp ground b...

Cookies and Catwalks: Ice Cream Cake
http://cookiescatwalks.blogspot.com/2010/08/ice-cream-cake.html
Friday, August 13, 2010. Zac opening his present from Grandma. After my son had requested an ice cream cake for his birthday, I was a little bummed. I'm a little tired of the DQ cakes. I find them hard to slice or melted and soggy, and you have to ditch the leftovers if it doesn't get eaten right away. My cousin, Kathy, is always coming up with the best recipes. Seriously.if she had a recipe blog, I would be a very dedicated follower (hint! How did it turn out? Well, it was AWESOME! Zac's Ice Cream Cake.

Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Slow Cooker Taco Soup. Hoo Boy. Been a while since I've posted. In my defense, I was going to post a recipe that I made the other night, but my entire family gave it a huge thumbs down. So I saved you all the wrath of my Spaghetti Squash Casserole (just for the record, I thought it was pretty good! So what recipes win the honour of making it to Blogger status?

Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings. Photo by Dave Hester on Flickr. As I bound from each task during the day, I'm finding it more and more difficult to get dinner on the table. Here's how a conversation transpired between me and my calendar as of late:. Look how full of red dots I am! Yeah, gotcha. But I'm on it. Time to do away with your insistence to have family sitting around the table for dinner. Uh, is that threat? I refuse to give up! Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings.

Thursday, March 29, 2012. This is an awesome way to get your kids to eat more salad! They won't even know all the veggies hidden in this mound of goodness. The trick: mincing everything extra small. I can't believe the difference it makes in the flavour just by chopping finely. Photo by eat the earth. Anything else you like in a salad. Chop all of the above in very small pieces. Mix together. Add some feta cheese and black olives (if you like that stuff). Links to this post. Saturday, March 10, 2012.

Cookies and Catwalks: July 2011
http://cookiescatwalks.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 16, 2011. What a great weekend with which to wake up! We're planning a day with friends and family on the boat then swimming and BBQ'ing to take us right into the evening. Two days ago, I happened along a sampling of Kale Slaw from a thoughtful friend. It was amazing! So good that I found myself making it for said BBQ. I was also impressed with this Slaw because this member of the cabbage family is the superhero of healthy foods. For instance, Kale is:. What a Happy Salad! Add all other in...

Cookies and Catwalks: January 2012
http://cookiescatwalks.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 18, 2012. What is this, you wonder? Why this is the result of one of my wonderful children (I won't name names) who lovingly cleaned the dishes after supper the other night. Trying to cop out and load the dishwasher without rinsing paid its price later. The nameless child created more work for his/herself when the entire load (due to other items that mysteriously missed the rinse cycle) came out covered in a hard, baked bean powder and he/she had to wash each dish by hand. I've also ju...
