I could be wrong in saying this, but my understanding of hot cross buns is that they’re a highly controversial topic. People either love them or despise them, based on my own observations and conversations with individuals, and while I’ve never had one myself, they do look and sound appealing. Hot cross buns tend to … More How about some hot cross buns for Easter celebrations this year?
I’ve never considered myself to be a picky eater, despite not being a tremendous fan of most vegetables. I’ll eat many of them, but I don’t particularly enjoy the vast majority of them. Oddly enough, one food that I don’t mind having plenty of veggies with is pizza. I realize that makes absolutely no sense … More How about a BLT pizza for dinner tonight?
Since I apparently have the immune system of a plague-ridden, Renaissance-era Victorian child, I find myself rather ill with a hell of a bug, not even one month after overcoming a different sort of cold virus. It’s more annoying than anything, and also rather inconvenient, but seeing as it is that time of year for … More These are the best foods to eat when you’re sick (part two)
I have come to the conclusion that my immune system hates me. I say this because I had just barely gotten over a nasty bug that held on for just about a month, only to be hit with yet another one days later. Life is just grand, isn’t it? As a result of my disdain … More These are the best foods to eat when you’re sick (part one)
When I sat down to write today’s entry, I sincerely hoped inspiration would strike in an utterly profound manner, but, alas, it did not. As much as I would like to think I’m a creative person, there are certainly days during which inspiration is as realistic to find as a ten-headed goat. So, when I’m … More Let’s make Baked Feta Pasta for dinner tonight
While I might not identify as Polish, my love for pierogis suggests otherwise. You just can’t go wrong with a solid pierogi, and while I’ll eat just about any kind, my preference is cheese and/or bacon. This might be a hot take, but eating pierogis alongside apple sauce positively slaps. Try it if you don’t … More How about a Pierogi and Meatball Skillet for dinner tonight?
Pillsbury is a highly recognized and highly reputable name in the food realm, and for solid reasoning; their croissants are arguably some of the most famous ones in existence, and you really can’t go wrong with a classic, fresh-baked croissant, hot out of the oven. My mom didn’t buy a whole lot of Pillsbury when … More Pillsbury, we need to talk
I figured I could extend the topic of how to go about avoiding sickness into two separate posts, so here we are. In yesterday’s post, I explained how oregano oil and sweating are two things I swear by that help to lessen cold and flu symptoms when they decide to pay my body a visit, … More What do you do to ward off illness? (part two)
These past few weeks have been quite literally plagued with sickness for my family and me. I started to feel not so great about two weeks ago, and rather quickly and ever so generously shared my sickness with my dad. He, in turn, gave it to my sister, who then gave it to my mom. … More What do you do to ward off illness? (part one)
When I began this mini series, if you will, addressing helpful health hacks to share with all of you, I was not intending to extend the subject into three separate posts. But, because the material I’m referencing is, in fact, useful information, and not entirely abstract to our lives, I figured I would extend our … More Are you familiar with these health hacks? (part three)
I have never hid my love and appreciation for a solid hack, in any context, from any of you, and I’m not about to start; hacks, when applicable and relevant, can be absolute game changers in the realm of life, and their purpose is to essentially make a task simpler or less complicated. Hacks exist … More Are you familiar with these health hacks? (part one)
Breakfast foods, as a collective whole in the culinary world, are seriously overlooked, in my own humble opinion. I don’t believe I have ever encountered someone who doesn’t enjoy a piping hot breakfast, and because breakfast food encompasses such a vast array of delectable dishes, there’s just about an option for everyone, including the pickiest … More How about a Chocolate-Banana Pancake Breakfast Casserole for brunch this weekend?
I acknowledge that the topic of this post is positively arbitrary, but if you’ve been following my blog to any extent whatsoever and have additionally taken stock of the name of my website, random is nothing new around here. How can it be, really, when I write a post every day? I will note that … More Read this to better understand the colour of meat
Wonton soup is one of those things that just about anyone I know enjoys. My parents have always been tremendous fans of Wonton soup, so perhaps that is why I, too, enjoy it; growing up, whenever our family went for dinner at our favourite local Chinese food restaurant called The Oriental in Brantford, Ontario, we … More Let’s make Wonton Soup
While it isn’t normally recommended to assume much of anything, I would wager that most of you, like me, crave warm, hearty meals when it’s cold outside. Here in Canada, temperatures have been tremendously ‘Canadian,’ so to speak, with the wind chill allowing temperatures to feel as cold as negative 30 degrees Celsius here in … More Warm up with a White Chicken Chilli Mac Skillet for dinner tonight
Despite strongly associating with the identity of a creature of habit, every now and then, something new and exciting on Netflix catches my eye. I have my comfort shows as much as the next suspected autistic, with Brooklyn Nine-Nine almost always playing on repeat, but when I tuned into Netflix a few nights ago and … More Have you seen Matty Matheson’s ‘Just A Dash’?
I have a sweet tooth that could rival the likes of the Cookie Monster, and that really is no exaggeration. When I was a kid, my mom had to put a lock on the pantry because I was constantly sneaking sweets anytime she had her back turned, and chocolate has always been my preference. I … More Tim Hortons Brookie: yay or nay?
To begin this post, let’s set politics aside and agree, right now, that it makes no difference whether we use the term smashed or mashed when it comes to flattened potatoes. Vocabulary aside, the end state of the potatoes in question remains constant, so smashed and mashed aside, they achieve the same thing. I suppose … More How about some Bacon-Gruyere Smashed Potatoes for dinner tonight?
Pizza is arguably one of those foods that just about the entire world population enjoys. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say they don’t like pizza, and if I did, I certainly would not tell my husband because the man bleeds pizza. We always joke that if we weren’t married, he would probably start … More Try this the next time you order pizza
Today’s post serves as an extension of yesterday’s – we are discussing beef and its many benefits, and while doing so, are hopefully manipulating enough people into consuming more of it. Manipulation has a negative connotation associated with it, but you know what I’m getting at. At least, I hope so. I can’t really fathom … More Here’s your sign to eat more beef (part two)
Anyone reading this post who knows me personally will likely think that today’s content is a wee bit biased, seeing as I married a beef farmer. This is true to an extent; I’m eating more beef since getting married than I ever did prior, and I’m certainly not mad about it. But, having a beef … More Here’s your sign to eat more beef (part one)
If you, like me, have encountered individuals who claim they despise soup, it is highly plausible that you, like me, decided in that moment to remove said individuals from your life. That might be perceived as a rather drastic choice, but personally, I’m not saving space for any soup haters in my own circle. Life … More How about a bowl of Creamy Chicken and Corn Soup for supper tonight?
Every now and then, I suddenly remember food aversions I had as a child, only to kick myself in the shins for being such a dumbass. I realize that might sound a bit extreme, and one might not condone using such language when referring to a child, but seeing as I’m talking about my former … More Cinnamon roll … cookies?
Today’s post is an extension of the conversation we started yesterday about cloves and the wonders they work for teeth and oral hygiene. Enough of us have issues with our teeth, so I figure it’s a topic with widespread relevance. I’m not an expert, and I don’t recommend diving into anything without doing some research … More Sore tooth? Clove could help (part two)
I’ve been seeing a fair amount of material via Instagram as of late regarding how beneficial cloves can be when it comes to dental issues. Yes, I realize this knowledge came from social media, and yes, I am aware that one should not believe everything they see online. Now that we have gotten the disclaimer … More Sore tooth? Clove could help (part one)
French onion soup positively slaps, and I will die on this hill. I realize that’s a rather assertive way to begin a post, but I’m a blunt person, and I’m not here to waste anyone’s time. I suppose if you despise onions, you arguably wouldn’t be a tremendous fan of French onion soup. I positively … More Let’s make French Onion soup
Stew and I have a somewhat tumultuous past. When I was younger, my mom often made her own version of stew during the winter months, and I positively hated it. I couldn’t even tell you what, exactly, I despised so much about my mother’s stew, and I honestly think I have convinced myself not to … More How about some Country Chicken Stew for dinner tonight?
I would argue that we are living in a world that has never before been so heavily inundated with dieting messaging. Diets have been in existence for a hot minute, but their prevalence has absolutely skyrocketed over the past few centuries; you can bet your ass ancient civilizations were not counting calories in their day. … More Do yourself a favour and stop trying fad diets
Anytime I dedicate a blog post to a recipe, you can count on two things: the first being that I wasn’t able to come up with a somewhat interesting topic to write about, so I therefore resorted to sharing a recipe; the second being that I try my best to at least share recipes that … More How about some Skier’s Skillet for breakfast?
When I was a child, I was very much under the impression that eating pasta for three meals daily was more than reasonable, arguably because I had an obsession with pasta that could rival the most patriotic of Italians. For context, I’m Hungarian, Dutch and Irish, so I’m not entirely sure where my love for … More Looking to add more fibre to your diet? Consider this pasta
