The Ultimate Slow-Cooker Shredded BBQ Beef

In fact, it may just BE illegally easy and here I am risking my life as I know it to share it with you guys. You’re welcome. You know, in advance before I get locked away. Not that I’m dramatic or anything… In all seriousness though this is the easiest dinner I think I’ve ever made. Want to know a secret? I’ll tell you who…me. The great part about this (besides the super-easy part) is that you can literally mix your own sauce to match your taste or mood. (Unless said people are veg/vegan…in which case they probably won’t.)

Mini Ham & Cheese Quinoa Cups

The perfect breakfast or snack! I had this whole spiel ready about how real men do, in fact, eat quiche, as demonstrated by Ben who housed nearly a dozen Mini Ham and Cheese Quinoa Cups that resemble wee baby quiche for dinner, but then I remembered that quiche have crust and Mini Ham and Cheese Quinoa Cups do not, so in reality they’re more like mini frittatas and well, all was tragically lost.

Ok, let me explain. First of all, Mini Ham and Cheese Quinoa Cups might be my new favorite thing on the planet. I may or may not have squealed with delight when they came out of the oven.

Crash Hot Potatoes. Man, do I love Australia.

Crash Hot Potatoes

First, my oldest daughter was conceived there on our honeymoon…and while we’re on the subject, have I ever shared with you that we almost named her “Sydney” as a nod to her point of origin? In the end, I chickened out, though—I thought that might be a little corny, and truth be told, I think she was actually conceived in Brisbane. But I’ll stop there. This is a family-friendly website.

Garlicky Baked Fries. I’m never going to make garlic potato fries any other way.

Garlicky Baked Fries

These garlic fries, win hands down as the best garlic french fries I’ve ever made. Plus they are baked – so I won’t feel too guilty if I make it every time I’m craving for some potato comfort. When I read that there is garlic infused oil involved, my heart skipped a beat (in a good way, not the way oil would otherwise treat your heart).

I got down to making them immediately. I used extra virgin olive oil instead of vegetable oil because I just love the aroma that garlic and olive oil combine to impart. Crispy golden baked fries These garlic fries are incredibly simple to make and are so full of flavour. Crunchy potato skin Garlic Fries Adapted from: Lottie + Doof Ingredients: 8 garlic cloves, minced or grated 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 3 russet potatoes (about 8oz each), each cut into 12 wedges 3 tbsp cornstarch/cornflour 1 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt 1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper ½ tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper.

Dips_Appetizers. Soups. Falafel. Eureka!

Falafel

I love it when I learn how to make something I’ve never made before, especially when it’s dead easy, and even good for me. I was grumpy when I got home. I didn’t have a plan for dinner. I wanted so badly to order Inglewood Pizza. As is often the case, my mind was changed by wilting produce – in this case a bunch of cilantro in the fridge that was worth about 58 cents. I had the idea about a week ago to stuff a chicken with crumbled falafel, and the thought has been rattling around in my head ever since. The recipe I used was a good one, all it required of the cook was a few pulses in the food processor, but we found it far too salty.
