I am a self-confessed bird nerd. I love to watch birds, marvel at their colours, their ingenuity, their beautiful songs, their ability to fly!

As fall weather turns cooler, and kids return to school, there’s nothing like the comfort food of a meat loaf that’s also easy to make. This recipe is easy to make in the morning, and then cover and put in the fridge to bake for supper. As an aside, why is it called meat loaf?... Continue Reading →
Summertime means campfires, and campfires mean hot dogs and beans. This summer I decided that homemade beans would be a treat over the old standard canned beans. While these can be made without ham, I wanted to experiment using a ham bone, since we enjoyed a bone-in shank of ham and had the bone left... Continue Reading →
We've all had those days when we're at a loss at suppertime - don't know what to make, don't have anything thawed from the freezer, or don't have time to make a traditional supper meal.
