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.

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 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
For most of us, when we hear the term ‘crock-pot,’ our minds arguably tend to visualize some sort of roast or stew, seeing as these sorts of dishes are what crock-pots are most often used to create. Crock-pots are fantastic options for individuals who yearn to cook a hearty, homemade meal but don’t necessarily have … More Hot chocolate … in a crock-pot?
Anytime I stumble across a unique recipe of some sort, I try my best to share it with all of you.

It isn’t too often that I manage to compose a personal recipe, but every now and then I surprise myself and do just that.

As someone who lives with a few different chronic illnesses, inflammation is not a new concept to me.

It saddens me to acknowledge that despite my love for spicy foods, I am at a point in my life where eating hot foods is rather difficult. To spare you all from some unnecessarily vivid details, allow me to say that while my taste buds still absolutely appreciate spice, my digestive system does not, and … More Jalapeño popper … soup?
I’ve mentioned before here on my blog how I took a rather lengthy hiatus from reading on a regular basis. When I finally smartened up and decided to get back into the swing of things, one of the first books I read was A Court of Thorns and Roses, and, naturally, the entire series after … More Do yourself a favour and read ‘Fourth Wing’
While the concept of me sharing recipes with all of you here on my blog is certainly not new, I did recently realize that the majority of the recipes I have been sharing have mainly been entrees and appetizers. My sweet tooth could rival Willy Wonka’s, so you can arguably imagine my dismay when I … More How about some Toasted Marshmallow Caramel Rice Krispie Treats for dessert tonight?
Oatmeal is arguably something most people have sampled at some point or another in life, or at least have heard of it before. On its own, I find it to be a little bland, but there are all sorts of things you can add to it to enhance its flavour and make it a little … More How do you eat your oatmeal?
Most people don’t tend to associate lemons with soup, and understandably so; when we think of soup, we normally conjure images in our minds of certain types and flavours, some common ones being chicken noodle, potato leek and tomato. Lemons are not something that immediately comes to mind, to say the least. But, as odd … More Feeling chilly? Warm up with a bowl of Avgolemono
Sickness is not exactly something we wish to experience. No one particularly enjoys being ill for obvious reasons, so it makes sense that most of us try our best to keep our immune system defences up in hopes of warding off any harmful bacteria that yearns to make its way into our bodies. Unfortunately, though, … More Feeling a cold coming on? Stop it in its tracks with this
Allow me to be entirely transparent with you and admit that I am not a fan of pumpkin, nor am I a fan of cheesecake. You might be questioning why the hell I decided to share a recipe for Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars from goodhousekeeping.com if I don’t like either of the main components of this … More How about some Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars for your Thanksgiving spread?
I have recently come to the harrowing realization that I am not someone who eats ample amounts of scones. It isn’t at all because I don’t like them, because I certainly do and always have; rather, I just don’t seem to consume them terribly often, so from here forward, I think I will try to … More Let’s make some Apple, Cheddar and Sage Scones
Creatine is not new, but as of late, I’ve been seeing more and more material about it in my social media feeds.

My parents have abided by a consistent array of food selections for lunch for as long as I can remember.

My dad has always enjoyed desserts with a lot of fruit … More Let’s make some apple turnovers
I’ve never been someone who drinks a lot of pop, despite trying my best to force the stuff down my throat. I’ve always had an issue with carbonated beverages of any sort, meaning whenever I drink them, I’m left dealing with the most astronomical burps known to mankind. It isn’t cute, and additionally, it gives … More Here’s how to make your own Sprite
