I had asked some people on the Fresh Menu Planner Facebook page for some requests on slow cooker recipes. I got one request from a woman who wanted a crock pot dish that she could turn on first thing in the morning and have ready when she gets home. She works 8-10 hours a day and …
My friend Ian was the videographer at our wedding this past summer. He’s talented with a camera, and also currently works as the media and graphics content lead at a local theater in Calgary.

I really like spaghetti squash. I have used it in many recipes before, and Heather and I can’t get enough of the stuff. I used it as a garnish in my parmesan crusted chicken recipe, but today I wanted to actually use it like its spaghetti. What a concept right? I also love making a good hearty Bolognese. There’s so …
