Quick, easy and fuss-free. Made this dish for Sean's lunch yesterday, and he absolutely enjoyed it. Followed the recipe, and used some mixed frozen stir-fry veggies we bought from Costco, it was a wonderful combination.

One of our favorite chicken crock pot recipes. An easy slow cooker chicken recipe with ample sweet and sour sauce and a variety of textures that everyone loves.

It's hard to resist any kind of cookies, such as these ones. They were buttery and delicious. Cranberries added some delicious sourness and sweetness, which perfectly balanced with the oatmeal cookies. Next time I may add some walnuts or even chocolate chips to give it a new twist.

My 10-year-old today made these bran muffins, and they came out moist, and not too sweet. Perfect for breakfast or snack. She enjoyed making these muffins very much.

Delicious recipe for an all-year round chocolate treat.

Liked it a lot. It had all the Chinese flavours that we were looking for. I used boneless-skinliess chicken thighs instead of breasts, because that was what I had on hand at the moment. I'm sure the chicken breasts would be as tasty.

A simple and succulent pasta dish that is the perfect meal to enjoy while watching the evening news.
