Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
TGIF!! I don't think I've ever been so excited for the weekend. But man, brrr.. it’s getting cold up around here, and I don’t like it. I've heard rumblings of possible snow? Not cool. As I was studying yesterday morning, my brain wandered around to ...
Chocolate Pecan Pie
So, I sort of mentioned this in my last post, but we have a new look here at Living Lou! I really like this one a whole lot more than what we used to have! I hope that everyone (is there anyone out there?) who visits my blog likes it! Also, again, if ...
Foolproof Sunday Roasted Chicken
Sunday's are typically the day when we sit down with our family and have a nice meal; around here, a nice roast chicken is typically the perfect Sunday dish. A roast chicken is basically a blank canvas, you can do whatever you want with it. If you're ...

Terrific Trout!

Meatless Monday … Summer Salad with Basil Garlic Dressing!
As I write this post, it is 11:50pm on Monday, so it is still "Meatless Monday", I've been having issues with my photo editing software and I couldn't get the pictures to where I wanted them, but I've finally conquered the computer and been able to ...
Living Lou’s Authentic Chicken Thighs
Mmmmm, I would take chicken thighs over chicken breasts in a flash. They are much more moist (isn't that just the worst word? moist... moist... blegh!) Yes, they are pretty small, but it's OK because then you can eat two, or three (or four...) of ...
Meatless Monday – Vegetable soup!
Yes, it is June 14th, and yes it was 25°C outside today, and yes I did decide to have soup for dinner. Vegetable soup is one of my favourite types of soup, not only is it full flavour but it’s also packed with goodness ...

Spicy Sunset BBQ Chicken
I love spicy food. I don't know why, but I just l-o-v-e it. So when I was trying to think up what I wanted to do with the chicken for dinner, I decided why not go spicy? And did I ever go spicy! Not only was the the chicken spicy and sweet, it was ...
