Egg rolls are a common fan favourite in the realm of Americanized Chinese food. The Chinese food we savour and enjoy here in North America is not authentic Chinese cuisine, hence why I like to say it’s been Americanized; despite the fact the version we relish does not consist of true Chinese dishes and creations, … More Egg roll … bowls?
I realize the term fruit leather doesn’t exactly sound enticing, but please believe me when I proclaim it truly is. I will say that I would not recommend fruit leather to anyone who has weak teeth, because it is rather chewy, and furthermore, not to someone who doesn’t enjoy fruit. That would be a bit … More Fruit leather fan? Check this out
Suppose I were to sample a group of random people and inquire as to whether or not their favourite component of making cookies when they were children was sneaking chunks of raw cookie dough behind their mother’s back. In that case, I suspect the overwhelming majority would agree. Most folks I know love cookie dough, … More As it turns out you, can enjoy raw cookie dough with this product
I mentioned in yesterday’s post that I recently visited Costco with my sister. The trip was originally intended for her; we went to pick up some items she needed for an upcoming catering job. I was tagging along, and so I deemed it only appropriate to venture into the store with her to keep her … More Craving something sweet? Read this
I believe I had my first skillet experience when I was about 10 years of age. My family and I were vacationing in the States; when my sister and I were younger, our family would make occasional trips to Buffalo for the weekend to do some shopping back when the dollar exchange wasn’t so heinous. … More Let’s make a Creamy Chicken and Corn Skillet
Living in the country is truly wonderful. It’s far quieter and more private than living in a city or residential area, and the views are unmatched. I wouldn’t trade living in a rural area for anything, and there are certainly more pros to it than there are cons. One negative to living in the country … More Uber Eats in rural areas: yes or no?
I would like to begin this post by offering my sincerest apologies to any of my readers who may be of Italian descent. It is highly probable you read the title of today’s post and experienced true anguish, and for this, I apologize; pizza is not something that is typically prepared in an air fryer, … More Air fryer … pizza?
Without providing you with much context, a couple of evenings ago, I found myself perusing the internet looking for some sort of dinner experience. Not catering in the traditional sense we all know and understand, but rather, something a little different to spice things up. Is there a particular reason why I was seeking out … More Looking for a creative twist on your typical dinner party? Read this
Whether you’re 10 or 80, mac and cheese is arguably a dish that appeals to all. I find it a tad annoying so many people associate macaroni and cheese with childhood; yes, this is a dish that typically appeals to children, but that does not mean it can’t also be enjoyed well into our adult … More Let’s make Queso Mac & Cheese
Hamburgers are one of my favourite foods to enjoy in the summertime, as they are for many people. I don’t know what it is about biting into a tasty, juicy burger on a warm summer evening, but that shit slaps, and while burgers are also delicious in the winter months, they’re always better on a … More How about some Smash Burger Tacos for dinner tonight?
I try my best to cook with as much creativity as I can muster for myself and my husband, but more often than not, I find myself unintentionally getting into a bit of a cooking rut. Blaine, my husband, is a picky eater which doesn’t help the cause by any means, but additionally, we both … More This could be your new go-to dinner
One could say I’m subliminally pushing creativity onto you, my beloved readers, in the form of pasta as of late. A few days ago, I shared a recipe for a dill pickle pasta salad, and I stated in that post that the pairing between pickles and pasta is not one I’ve ever seen before. As … More If you thought dill pickle pasta was odd, how about corn pasta?
I am a sucker for anything dill pickle-flavoured. I’ve loved dill pickles for as long as I can recall, and when I spot something dill-pickled flavoured, you can bet that I grab it to sample it and hopefully enjoy it. One area of food I have yet to see a lot of dill pickle infusion … More Dill pickle … pasta salad?
When I was first made aware that Tim Horton’s would be offering pizza as an addition to their menu, I wasn’t entirely sure what to think. To be honest, I figured they probably wouldn’t be terrific, seeing as Tim’s is mainly recognized for their coffee, donuts and sandwiches, but I try not to judge and … More Tim Horton’s pizza: yay or nay?
I wager if I were to ask people if they prefer brownies or blondies they would more than likely answer brownies, and rightly so; brownies are positively scrumptious, when prepared correctly, and there really is nothing like biting into a chewy yet soft chocolatey delight. On the other hand, however, blondies are also excellent. Quite … More Move over, brownies; it’s a blondie summer
There is a very strong probability that you, at some point in life, have consumed a Gatorade, and, quite honestly, understandably so. They taste good, they’re refreshing as fuck, and they’re a common option for athletes to swig from during, before, or following a game of whatever sport it is they play. I like Gatorade, … More Gatorade: not as healthy as you might think
Goldfish crackers were a tremendous component of my childhood, and I would wager that a lot of people can relate to this. Goldfish crackers seem to be a major hit amongst children and adults for that matter – I still enjoy them today, although perhaps not as often as I did when I was a … More Goldfish … but vanilla cupcake flavour?
If you’re Hungarian, you have almost definitely sampled goulash at some point or another. If you’re Hungarian and you haven’t yet had the privilege of trying goulash, do your heritage a favour and go and get your hands on some. Goulash is not specific to Hungary, but there is a difference between traditional goulash and … More Let’s make Hungarian Goulash
Over the weekend, Blaine and I went to The Keg to celebrate our second wedding anniversary. We had a nice dinner and we both enjoy The Keg anytime we visit; we only go for special occasions and celebrations, and we figured it would be a great choice for our anniversary. We both had steak, and … More The ultimate satisfaction of reaping what you sow
I don’t visit the Keg too often – normally only for special occasions and celebrations, not so much for casual dining. Blaine and I recently went to The Keg to celebrate our wedding anniversary that recently passed, and like any other time I dine at The Keg, I thoroughly enjoyed their mashed potatoes. Weirdly, I’m … More Here’s how to make The Keg’s mashed potatoes at home
Following yesterday’s post, I figure it only appropriate to provide all of you with a tasty recipe to whip up some homemade Salsa Verde using, of course, the beloved tomatillo. If you’re a bit late to the blog game, feel free to read yesterday’s post discussing tomatillos, how they’re used, and their flavour profile. I … More Let’s make Salsa Verde
My family and I have always loved Mexican food, and I believe our appreciation for it stems from our temporary foreign migrant workers who assist us on our farm annually. Our workers come from Mexico, and they’ve been working on our farm for longer than I’ve been alive; our one worker, Salome, has been with … More If you’ve never tasted tomatillos, consider this your sign
If you happen to be a resident of Southern Ontario, I do not need to inform you of how damn hot it has been as of late. Back in May, we experienced a week of blazing heat, only for that to be followed by unusually cool weather for June. Apparently, Mother Nature was allowing her … More Here’s what to make when it’s too hot to cook
For Father’s Day this past Sunday, my dad made one small request to our family to celebrate – to go out for dinner, together, and to enjoy some Mexican food. My Dad had a specific spot in mind, and while he had tried their takeout once prior, none of us had yet had the pleasure … More You need to visit Lily’s Tacos in Simcoe
I feel as though the Italians may come for me with this post, and I wouldn’t really blame them. There has been a debate in existence for quite some time now about whether or not pineapple is an acceptable pizza topping; personally, I don’t like pineapple on pizza because I don’t like pineapple itself, but … More Peaches and bacon … on pizza?
I drink enough water to rival a fish, and that is not an exaggeration. Sometimes I actually can’t really believe how much water I throw down the gullet in a given day, but I haven’t spawned gills or fins as of late, so I think I’m in the clear. Believe me or not, but I … More Finding mould in your water bottle? Read this
This might be a bizarre assertion, but as of late, I’ve really been enjoying sandwiches. That is not to say I didn’t like sandwiches before recently; I’ve always enjoyed them, but I think for a while I was entirely unaware of how fucking great sandwiches can be in terms of their versatility. I was also … More Let’s make club sandwiches
My sweet tooth and I became acquainted at quite an early age. I’m pretty sure I’ve liked chocolate since the moment I could stomach it, and I don’t expect my love for it to waver anytime soon. Believe me or not, but I swear the following information is true: according to my parents seeing as … More Craving something sweet? Read this
I’ve come to realize that I thoroughly enjoy mixing food items together. I understand that sentence may sound a bit stupid without any context, so hear me out. I know several folks who cannot stomach (no pun intended) the idea of separate food items touching or mixing, to the point their different types of foods, … More Croissants + beef + nachos = dinner tonight
In the rare case I haven’t yet mentioned this here on my blog, I will now, and proudly so; Blaine, my husband, is a beef farmer, and a damn great one at that. I thought I would use this post as an opportunity to discuss how phenomenal he is with raising beef cattle for consumption, … More Perks of being married to a cattle farmer
