With the spring upon us and the summer months not that far away, it's time to move on from the warm stews and soups and into crisp and cool foods and that are filling but do not make you want to plop yourself in front of the TV. Having a salad as a main dish has it's benefits and with the right ingredients can also be tasty and filling so that your not reaching for that bag of chips or box of cookies a short time after. This salad is great but the one catch you have to be a lover of anchovies which quite a few are not but it does not mean you can not have a go at it and find out if anchovies have won over your heart. This dish is quick and easy for those days or nights that time is not your best friend. The crumbled feta cheese mixed in gives it a distinct taste and gets your taste buds popping.

Turkey Meatloaf

The pandemic continues to rage on and for a lot of us time spent at home has never been at an all time high. One thing we can do to help pass the time is to make sure that we feed ourselves right and keep busy and what better way to do that then to spend time in the kitchen cooking up a storm. This was my first crack at a meatloaf recipe and I feel it was so good that I just had to share it with all of you around the world. The recipe is quite simply and filling and what more can you ask for. I would recommend that you give it a try with the ingredients before swapping in some of your favourites, I prefer a sweet BBQ sauce over Ketchup and the saute yellow onion adds a nice taste to the dish. I also went with ground turkey to keep the meal a bit healthier. The two loafs was my way of adding a cool twist to the regular meatloaf dishes and I did find it better to cook on a wire racked on a baking sheet on top of parchment paper. This keeps the meatloaf from getting soggy.

Classic Club House Sandwich

The classic pub style sandwich you can have at home instead of getting out into the world which is currently going through a corona virus pandemic. The classic club house is one of my favourite sandwiches when out a pub and munching down on some pub food classics. This is a recipe that you can enjoy in the comfort of your own home, especially for those that can not get out and about as they normally would. I created a classic club at home with a couple of changes that worked out just great but feel free to substitute ingredients as you see fit. I boiled the chicken for a quicker meal prep and the bacon was baked in the oven to avoid mess covered in aluminum foil, you'll need to bake longer then time shown if you prefer your bacon to be crispy. I am not a mayo fan so replaced it with some old style dijon mustard and the texas style toast bread is a must, make sure you use real cheese slices and not the process kind for best taste.

Sweet and Savoury Sweet Potatoes

Well Happy 2020 to everyone, I am back again sharing a wonderful side dish recipe that can go with just about any dish from meat to fish. Sweet Potato is a healthier alternative to regular potatoes as they are packed with fibre and are a rich source of minerals which include calcium and iron. This recipe is quick and easy to make as long as your fine with getting your hands a bit dirty. Get yourself out a large bowl to mix the potatoes with all the ingredients that are being used and you will also need a large baking sheet to lay out all the potatoes so that they are evenly cooked. They key ingredients to this recipe along with the sweet potatoes are honey and cinnamon, these two additional ingredients will give the dish a sweet, smokey and savoury taste, so make sure you do not omit them from the recipe.

Sausage and Veggie Casserole

As the season starts to cool off and move into the fall I like to get into the kitchen a little more often to make some warm and hearty meals. This easy to make sausage casserole will have you making it over and over again as a weeknight or weekend meal for yourself or any company that you may have. The best part is that you will have plenty of leftovers for work and will keep your kitchen clean for a few days afterwards. You will need a large casserole dish something larger then the usual 13 x 9 inches and I prefer to use mini/fingerling potatoes as I enjoy the taste of the potato skin but if your using a regular potato I would go with a russet potato quartered. You can also add any vegetable that you may like but I would avoid any that hold a lot of  water like a tomato, cucumber or zucchini and stick to the more solid vegetables to avoid a mess in the casserole dish. I used Italian style sausage which are easier to find and although my preference is the spicy sausage a mild or fennel type would do just fine.
