One of my favorite recipes is this Orzo Salad with Herbs that I came up with after trying a similar one at a local food store. It’s light, refreshing and packed with flavor.

C’est un plat léger, rafraîchissant et plein de saveurs qui éveillera vos papilles. Pour un supplément de protéines, vous pourriez ajouter du poulet grillé ou des œufs durs à déguster avec cette salade.</span></span></span></span></div>

You don't need to spend hours in the kitchen to make a delicious Chicken Noodle Soup. My son sent me a message, yesterday, saying that he wasn't feeling well. The weather has been bad around here. Usually in April we have warmer days. I wasn't surprised that he caught a cold. I decided to make this soup for supper. To help with the prep time I used rotisserie chicken.<br>

<span style="text-align: left;">We are having a snow storm right now in Ottawa and that puts me in the Christmas spirit. It's my favorite time of the year because I get to spend time with my husband and three children. We all live busy lives and even though we get together during the year for Sunday meals, the holidays are extra special to us because we get to spend days together like the good old times. My children usually come home with their luggage and spend a couple days with us. </span></div>

If you haven't heard of an Instant Pot before you must be living in a cave. The Instant Pot 'smart cooker' was invented in Ottawa. It's the hottest multi-cooker at the moment. People rave about it. Families are getting busier and busier and the Instant Pot will help them make homemade meals fast and tasty. I bought the 9-in-1 which is a pressure-cooker, slow-cooker, rice cooker, steamer, cake maker, food warmer, yogurt maker, sterilizer and has a sauté function.</div>

Je ne me souviens plus la dernière fois que j'ai acheté une boite de biscuits à l'épicerie. Lorsque l'envie me prend de manger des biscuits j'en fait maison. Au mois de juillet j'ai visité des amis à St-Hilaire et en route vers la maison j'ai fait un arrêt à la Cabosse d'Or. J'ai acheté des callets au chocolat au lait. Ce matin en ouvrant mon armoire, en voyant les callets, j'ai eu le goût de biscuits frais. Donc j'ai décidé de faire la recette de Crousti-moelleux à l'avoine et au chocolat du nouveau livre de Isabelle Lambert: Un Peu, Biscuits, à la Folie. </div>

I could eat Avocado Toasts for breakfast and lunch. I have been very busy lately and this was so quick to make and balanced both in nutrition and flavor. Now that we are having our hot summer days I don't feel like cooking a meal on the stove for lunch. I like to add radishes on my toasts for crunchiness.</div>

I don't like to buy Energy Bars at the store because they are full of sugar and the list of ingredients is usually long. Also they don't taste that good. I have been making my own Energy Bars for a while now. Most of my recipes involves peanut butter, oats, dark chocolate. In this recipe I decided to add dates. I keep these raw, no-bake bars in a container in the fridge. They don't last long in my house.</div>

Sometimes, the opportunities we have as bloggers are amazing. Weeks ago, I received an email asking me if I wanted to participate in <i><b>Rethink Beef: Global Recipe Swap </b></i>developing a recipe using ground beef.<br>

These energy balls are ready in less than 10 minutes. Prepare a batch on Monday and you will have a snack ready, in the fridge, all week. I like to eat one of these as a pre-workout snack. It's also nice to satisfy your sweet tooth after a meal. In this recipe I have one secret ingredient in them and it's red lentils. You can't see or taste them but they add nutritional value to this treat. I like protein packed snacks. I am using cooked, mashed dates to add sweetness and dark chocolate chips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Feel free to experiment and replace the chocolate chips with dried fruits and top your energy balls with coconut flakes. </div>

On Sunday my three children were home and we had a nice brunch together. We then spent the afternoon making Old-Fashioned Doughnuts. At this time of the year, I crave holiday food. I like to listen to Christmas music and bake. Creating delicious comfort food and having my two hands in dough is so therapeutic for me, and the smell of baked goods reminds me of childhood memories.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Years ago, I would make these doughnuts with my cousin Michel, it was our own tradition. Since he passed away, I miss it and I am so thankful that I can bake and cook with my children now. I hope we continue this tradition for years to come of baking together for the Holidays!<br>

I spent the past two weeks traveling. My husband sent me a message from Norway, two Saturdays ago, to tell me to book a ticket for the next day. He was in Stavanger for a business trip and his boss told him that he had to spend one more week working over there. I had less than 36 hrs to plan and pack my suitcase for my trip. I spent seven days in Stavanger. The weather was very nice and warm, the locals told us that it was unusual for this time of year. We even had the chance to walk on Sola beach one night. After my week in Norway, we went to Quebec City for four days. My son had a conference and we decided to drive him and take a vacation. I always liked Old Quebec City, it's so charming. </div>

This Chicken Curry with Red Peppers and coconut milk is delicious. I like to serve this dish over basmati rice. It does not take long to prepare and much better than take-out. Curry is always better the next day because the spices continue to release flavour overnight. This curry freezes well but make sure that you eat it within three months. We like to bring this meal when we go camping. I freeze the curry in small portions with the rice. After a day of hiking it's always nice not to have to cook and to have a gourmet meal for supper. </div>

I work from home and I enjoy making meals from scratch three times a day. I also like to eat a variety of things throughout the week. As much as I can, I challenge myself to try new recipes and to include healthy and vegetarian meals, as much as I can. It's not always easy to do so because my family likes to have meat for lunch and supper, I often end up making two recipes for our dinners. For breakfast and lunch, I find it easier when everyone makes what they want to eat. It saves me time in the kitchen.</div>

Today I am baking. I feel sad doing so because it's for a family that will soon lose their mom . She has cancer and she does not have long to live, so she decided to spend her final days home. She loved to bake and her husband and son miss her baked treats. The mother of my son's girlfriend asked if I could bake them blueberry muffins, I said yes and I became emotional that they even thought of me. Although it is sad, it feels good to do something that I am passionate about for this family.<br>

You cannot have too many recipes for banana bread. I like to try new ones all the time. Of course, what makes a superior banana bread is how ripe are. Some people make the mistake of using bananas that are not quite ready to use in baked goods.<br>

We like this Vietnamese Noodle Soup in the house. When you don't have all day to make your beef broth and you are craving this soup just use store-bought. It's quick to make and delicious! We like a big bowl of this soup, with chewy noodles and slices of beef fondue on a cold, winter evening. </div>

When visiting my blog you will only find recipes that I cooked and baked in my kitchen. I am lucky to have 'tasters'. I will share recipes with ingredients that we use in my home. You'll find lot's of recipe with cheese, cream cheese on my blog like this delicious Warm Cheese and Bacon Dip. Besides cheese it has bacon, green onions and jalapeños, which I added to the recipe because we like spicy food. It adds a quick to this dip. I like to serve my warm dips with Tortillas chips but you would eat this dip with veggies or crackers.</div>

The title says it all, this is The Best Salted Caramel that I have ever made. And it's the easiest also. Believe me! And I made it in my new slow cooker. I've been using slow cookers for more than 25 years. I actually own four. I have three in my house and one in our recreational vehicule. I usually make soups, chicken recipes, rice and other meals in my slow cookers but I have never made dessert before. For the holidays, I like to give homemade goodies to friends and family. I guess I have a bit of Martha Stewart inside me! Yesterday it crossed my mind that this year I should make Salted Caramel, but I did not want to stand by the stove and stir the sauce for 10 minutes. While I was on the phone with a blogger friend, I placed all of the ingredients in the slow cooker and could talk with her without worrying about burning the caramel. That's how I like it! It can be intimidating to make salted caramel because when you make it on the stovetop you really have to be watch it or it will not be edible.</div>

This week, after a long walk in the woods, I made the best Spiced Apple Cake with a Brown Sugar Sauce and Spiced Whipped Cream. My husband could not wait for me to finish taking my pictures of my cake to have a big piece. By the look of his face I knew that the cake was good. This cake is so moist and it has just the right amount of spices. It's best to serve warm but if you have some cake left for breakfast the next day, don't hesitate to eat your cake at room temperature. It will be as good, as long as you warm the brown sugar sauce in the microwave before serving. We will be hosting my family on New Year's Eve and I think they will enjoy this dessert. They have a sweet tooth and my dad loves whipped cream. Who doesn't?<br>

<span style="text-align: center;">I'm glad that the month of November is almost over. I like the month of December because we decorate the house for the holidays and we host parties. Talking about parties, it's the Grey Cup game this week-end. It's always nice to have a good selection of hors d'oeuvres. You could make my delicious </span><a href="https://helene-lacuisine.blogspot.com/2015/11/whats-cooking-nachos.html" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">nachos</a><span style="text-align: center;"> or this </span><a href="https://helene-lacuisine.blogspot.com/2015/10/whats-cooking-chili.html" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">chili</a><span style="text-align: center;">.

Making hummus at home is quick, healthy, a good source of protein and inexpensive. You can make it for under $1.25 if you make a basic recipe. Not bad at all. One recipe will last you, two or more days. You might be wondering if it's worth the effort. Since it took me less than 10 minutes to make, my foodie palate says yes to homemade hummus!<br>
