Fried Zucchini Bites

  This has been a busy week with back to work and being a virtual teacher. I haven’t been a classroom teacher for the past 3 years and am really trying to get back into the swing of things. I was really enjoying my hockey academy role and am hoping that once COVID is under control we can bring the program back.  This recipe is inspired by my Aunt. She made something like this or perhaps this exact recipe (I didn’t ask for it) at a family function this summer and my husband has been asking for it ever since. They’re delicious bites of zucchini that are fried and crispy!  They taste like you're eating some good old comfort food while also knowing in the back of your head that you're also getting some vegetables while you do so. I will definitely be making this recipe again. We used Ranch salad dressing to dip it into but they also taste delicious on their own. Another dip I am wanting to try these with is tzatziki sauce as I think the dill in it would really add some extra flavou

Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner

                                                      This has become one of our favourite dinners this past winter and honestly I am excited to bring it back into the mix again soon. It is such a simple dish and the best part as it is all cooked in one pan/roaster. If you're anything like me you will want to have leftovers for lunches. This is why a cookie sheet does not work for me when making this meal. I pull out my big turkey roaster and fill it so that my husband and I can have lunches for a couple of days of the week. With getting back to work (I am a teacher remember) I will have to start thinking about lunches again and honestly that is one of my most dreaded tasks. This definitely helps as it lasts a couple of lunches and is nice and healthy! I love that with this recipe you can chop almost everything a head of time and have dinner prepped the night before. I find that the chopping takes time and after school we tend to get busy before dinner. I can take the pre chopped v

Pineapple Carrot Muffins

These muffins are so good and have tons of flavour! I got this recipe from my mother in law and they are worth making. I was hesitant to make them as I didn't know if the boys would like them and I thought they would be difficult to make. I was WRONG!! My youngest son cannot get enough of these muffins. I'm pretty sure he ate all 12 muffins when we were visiting them this past week.  When we were leaving my Mother in Law had some extra crushed pineapple to send home with us so I could make some when we got home. I love these muffins but had it in my head that they would be difficult to make but once again I was WRONG. I think from start to finish they took a total of 35 minutes to whip up and bake. Talk about my kind of recipe!                    Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups flour 1 cup white sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon 2/3 cup cooking oil 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup raw grated carrots 1/2 cup crushed pineapple (with juice) Directions: 1.
