As much as most people love consuming barbecued food, I have come to realize that many people do not enjoy the actual task of barbecuing. I don’t think it’s a matter of not wanting to do the actual task of grilling, but rather, a fear of the barbecue itself. I should add that a lot … More Don’t fear the barbecue
I’m a sucker for bowls, and I’m a sucker for anything cheeseburger-flavoured. So, when I spotted a recipe for Cheeseburger Bowls from thepioneerwoman.com, I knew I had to share. My husband brought to my attention how I often create bowls out of whatever we are having for dinner on a particular evening; I didn’t even … More Hopw about some Cheeseburger Bowls for dinner tonight?
Salads have earned themselves a somewhat shitty reputation in the culinary world, and the general lack of appreciation towards them angers me a wee bit, as preposterous as that sounds. I think most people, when they hear the word ‘salad,’ automatically think of lettuce and some shit dressing. If that is the sort of salad … More How about some Jalapeno Popper Corn Salad for your next potluck?
As much as my husband and I enjoy The Keg, we try not to frequent it too often because it is on the pricier side. That being said, we promised each other back in May that we would go out for dinner to celebrate our birthdays – seeing as we are now almost entering July, … More What’s your go-to order from The Keg?
As stated at the conclusion of yesterday’s post, today’s will be a continuation of absolutely arbitrary facts. I’ve always found random facts to be interesting to read, and considering how they’re simultaneously educational and entertaining, I figure there are worse things I could be occupying my free time with. Sometimes I will research specific facts, … More Facts for fun (part two)
My sister is a hell of a cook, and I am fortunate enough to often sample her creations. She is an absolute gem in the sense that whenever she makes something new and exciting for herself and my parents, she always makes extra for Blaine and me. Last weekend she tried her hand at homemade … More Let’s make homemade Big Mac Crunchwraps
I haven’t exactly kept my love for McDonald’s a secret here on my blog, and I’m certainly not going to pretend that I am not an avid fan. The only person I may make this exception for and lie about my McDonald’s preferences to is my mother, and I know she will read this, so … More McDonald’s Birthday Cake McFlurry: yay or nay?
When it comes to fast food, McDonald’s is normally my go-to. I always order a McDouble with bacon and a six-piece chicken nugget with hot mustard, and it positively slaps each and every time. Sadly, McDonald’s is not available via DoorDash, so this past Sunday, I decided to order from A&W for what I believe … More A&W: Yay or nay?
It seems as though just about each and every time I open up Instagram on my phone, I find myself watching a Reel explaining how to make a relatively common food from very uncommon ingredients. Sometimes I can’t help but wonder if some foods should simply be left alone in their harmless existence, and how … More Cottage cheese … ice cream?!
While my background isn’t Polish, it is European, therefore, I have certainly familiarized myself with the joyous creations known as pierogis. Bizarrely, when I was a child, I wasn’t a huge fan of them. Thankfully, I grew up a bit, as did my palate, and while Blaine isn’t the biggest fan of them, I enjoy … More Let’s hear it for pierogis
I haven’t been to Costco in a hot minute, and as much as I could benefit from going, it’s arguably best I don’t to abstain from spending money on items I don’t necessarily need. It doesn’t matter how prepared you are prior to going to a Costco – you’re always going to buy things you … More If you love birthday cake, you need to visit your closest Costco
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.

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.

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.

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.

This past Sunday, Blaine and I were trying to determine where to go for dinner.

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.
