I was inspired to share a recipe with all of you for today’s post, with the inspiration stemming from a complete and utter lack of functioning brainwaves on my behalf. I think I’m having a Lyme flare-up with the shit weather we have been having here in Southern Ontario (cool and rainy), and despite my … More Let’s make an Amish Breakfast Casserole
My husband’s birthday and my own are a mere four days apart, so we always celebrate them together. We are having a dinner with my parents, sister and grandmother to celebrate, and upon being asked where Blaine and I would like to order our birthday dinner from, we picked a restaurant that prepares one of … More Let’s make a “Killer Club Sandwich”
I wrote a post a short while ago discussing something known as oil pulling. I had never heard of it prior to a friend telling me about it, and because my teeth have taken a bit of a hit with my health over the past year, I was more than willing to try just about … More So, does oil pulling actually work?
The ingredients you incorporate into your rub can quite honestly make or break the cut of meat in question when it comes to steak. Even worse is going without a rub entirely, and in my own humble opinion, preparing any type of meat without seasoning is a crime against humanity. I’m fortunate to have been … More What is your go-to steak rub?
When I was a child, I was absolutely under the impression that calzones were the best-tasting food in existence. I had one and was immediately hooked, and while I’ve grown and matured a bit since this occurrence, I still think calzones are fucking fire, and they’re a common comfort food favourite. I’ve never tried making … More How about some homemade calzones for dinner tonight?
I’ve been seeing more and more material popping up on my social media channels as of late pertaining to baking soda water. When I initially heard of such a thing, my first thought was ‘ew, that probably doesn’t taste great,’ but upon actually investigating the topic of baking soda water, I’ve come to learn a … More Baking soda water: fib or fact? (part one)
I realized I haven’t shared a recipe here on my blog for a little while, so I figured one is due. I try my best to choose recipes I think would please most people, as opposed to something very specific that requires a tailored palate, and I figure pasta is one that normally appeals to … More How about some Cheesy Beef Pasta for dinner tonight?
This could just be my own personal observation, but does anyone else feel as though finding a new and creative recipe on the internet nowadays is rather challenging? There are millions of recipes available, yes, but so many of them are redundant and boring, and, personally, I like a little bit of creativity when it … More How about a Chicken & Cheese Tortilla Pie for dinner tonight?
My mom, sister and I recently had a conversation about fish. Both my sister and I eat fish with Tartar sauce, however, my mother does not, and neither does my husband, Blaine. In Blaine’s defence, he has never really been a sauce guy. He prefers plain and, in my own humble opinion, boring, but who … More Here’s how to make your own Tartar sauce
If there are two things in this world my husband loves more than me, I am inclined to believe they would be hot dogs and pizza. I swear that Blaine could eat pizza daily for the rest of his life and never tire of it, and hot dogs are a close second. I should stipulate, … More Pizza … hot dogs?
I suspect most people who possess taste buds have been to Montana’s at least once in their lives. I don’t think it is an exclusively Canadian restaurant chain, but, in the instance it is, I do offer my sincerest apologies to my American neighbours; without sounding too harsh, you’re missing out. I don’t go to … More What is your go-to Montana’s order?
I think it is common knowledge how important it is to start your day off with a good breakfast. I suspect most of us were inundated with this ideology from a young age by our parents or caretakers, much like I was, and the significance of breakfast makes sense; you want to begin your day … More Cake for breakfast? Yes, please
I started to make dinner before I sat down to write this post, and one of the things I am currently cooking as I simultaneously write this is smoked cheddar sausage. I should arguably clarify that I am personally not cooking the sausage; my air fryer is. Blaine and I love smoked sausage, and we … More How about a Smoked Sausage Skillet for dinner tonight?
This past Sunday, Blaine and I were trying to determine where to go for dinner. We came to the realization that we hadn’t been for dinner together in quite a while and, therefore, should arguably do so again; we narrowed our options down and eventually settled on a restaurant we haven’t enjoyed for a little … More Have you been to Symposium in Brantford?
I have yet to meet a dumpling I don’t like. I must inherit my appreciation for Asian cuisine from my dad, because he, too, is a dumpling feign; he and I are the only ones in our family who enjoy sushi, so every now and then we have a little dinner date together. It isn’t … More How about some Dumpling Soup for dinner tonight?
Within the past few months, I’ve made a personal effort to consume more protein. It isn’t at all a matter of me not enjoying protein, because I’m a meat feign; rather, because I have increased my physical activity and another rugby season is approaching, I figure it might do me some good to build up … More Let’s make protein pancakes
I have no shame in admitting my love for chicken nuggets. Will I be a 30-year-old woman this May? Yes. Are chicken nuggets commonly associated with children? Yes. But, despite this belief that adults cannot dabble in the pleasure of what is chicken nuggets, I gladly challenge the stigma and will savour and enjoy a … More Here’s how to make the Best Crispy Baked Chicken Nuggets
I swear I was Italian in a past life because my love for pasta borders on infatuation. I could quite literally eat pasta for each meal every day and not tire of it, and I doubt I’m the only one who can say this with confidence. Not only is pasta positively delicious, but it is … More How about some White Wine-Garlic Pasta with Scallops for diner tonight?
Today’s post was inspired by one of my best friends. She is currently at an agricultural conference in the U.S. and has been documenting her food experiences with me via Snapchat. The other morning, she ordered some seriously impressive-looking French Toast at a brunch joint where she is located, and because it looked so delicious, … More Craving something sweet? Read this
I’ve been using beef tallow as a moisturizer for my face for a few months now. The specific product I use is called For the Face and it is made by Tallow Twins, two sisters who are local to me that I’ve known my entire life. I will be transparent and admit I was very … More What’s with the beef tallow hate?
When I sat down to write today’s post and paused for some creative inspiration, my stomach provided me with a response in the form of a solid grumble. Leaning into the bodily cue, I figured I would peruse the internet and find a recipe to share with all of you. I try to share recipes … More How about some Loaded Mac and Cheese for dinner?
If you told me when I first began this sushi series that the content would be continuing into a three-day span, I likely would have told you to take a hike. Alas, here we are, on our third day of discussing all things sushi. I did state that there is a lot more to know … More How well do you know your sushi? (part three)
Yesterday’s post covered the basics of sushi, and today’s will explore this delightful food to a further extent regarding the many different types of sushi that we savour and enjoy. Well, allow me to clarify my former statement; for those of us who are privileged to enjoy sushi, as opposed to being repulsed by it, … More How well do you know your sushi? (part two)
I sympathize with sushi in the sense that I often find it at the receiving end of utter disgust, which, really, is an unfortunate reaction to something so damn delicious. There are enough people out there who would rather put their hand through a meat grinder than consume raw fish, and that’s fine; to each … More How well do you know your sushi?
Before we delve into the subject matter of today’s post, allow me to clarify that I am not claiming that I, personally, know how to, or am able to, for that matter, perfectly roast a chicken. Rather, the recipe I am referencing for today’s post is literally titled “Perfect Roast Chicken.” I don’t believe anything … More Here’s how to make a perfect roast chicken
Most of us are familiar with the significance of staying hydrated. Seeing as we are mostly composed of water as human beings, it makes sense that water is something we should be putting back into our bodies, consistently, throughout a given day. Despite the majority of us being well aware of the importance of drinking … More Struggling to drink enough water? Read this
Now that my husband and I are able to reap the benefits of an Amazon Prime partnership with DoorDash (if you have a Prime account, you’re able to get a year’s worth of free delivery for any order using DoorDash – click here to learn more), we decided to put it to use this past … More Tired of McDonald’s? Try Popeyes
Croque Monsieurs hold a special place in my heart, although, the sentimentality of them is a little odd. My Oma absolutely loved Croque Monsieurs, so that component of the relation is a bit more acceptable. The other reason why Croque Monsieurs are special to me is because there is a reference to them in an … More Craving a sandwich? How about a Croque Monsieur?
This might upset some people, but I’ve never been a tremendous fan of Doritos. They’re decent in terms of taste, but I’ve never found them to be particularly amazing, and I would rather eat Miss Vickie’s over Doritos any day. My husband, on the other hand, is an absolute feign for Doritos, specifically the Bold … More Doritos Collisions: yay or nay?
When I was a child, I was absolutely under the impression that French onion soup originated from the Devil himself. Both of my parents enjoyed it, and still do, and they would often eat it at lunchtime; I had convinced myself it was the most repulsive thing my eyes had ever seen and, therefore, never … More Let’s make French onion soup
