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
As I sit here writing this post, I have dinner for my husband and I cooking. I ended up getting home later today than usual because we had a crop of chickens go out, so my dad, uncle and I were at the barn, cleaning out all the manure. My dad and uncle typically run … More Let’s make some Cowboy Casserole
I am a breakfast food feign. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, louder, for the people in the back; breakfast foods can be enjoyed at any given point throughout the day, not strictly between the hours of 6 and 10am. Breakfast foods are far too tasty to be limited to one meal … More Let’s make Lauren’s breakfast bowls
I love pierogies. Considering my European background, I think I would be a disgrace to my ancestors if I did not appreciate the common pierogi, and while I’ve never made them from scratch myself, I do purchase them, frozen, from a local Dutch marketplace. It blows my mind to acknowledge how many people out there … More Let’s hear it for Pierogi Casserole
Continuing with our conversation that began yesterday regarding common misperceptions and myths that exist in the exercise realm, I thought I would share a personal experience before we get into the nitty-gritty. When I was in high school, I was, I suppose you could say, at my peak in terms of athleticism. I was heavily … More Myth versus fact: fitness edition (part two)
After I wrote a post a couple of days ago regarding how both cycling and running are excellent forms of cardiovascular activity, despite a common misperception that running is more effective cardio-wise, the topic prompted me to consider just how many myths exist in the fitness world. Granted, myths exist in every realm. But, I … More Myth versus fact: fitness edition (part one)
The inspiration behind today’s post stems from me writing this as I cook dinner for myself and my husband. We are having breakfast for dinner, something we both tremendously enjoy, as do many people; I really do not understand why we associate such delicious foods with strictly breakfast when they can easily be enjoyed at … More Craving breakfast food? How about some pancake tacos with eggs and bacon?
I have no issue being entirely transparent when it comes to the copious volume of coffee I consume. Is the amount of coffee I consume in a given day considered healthy, or even socially acceptable, for that matter? Nope. But, I love coffee, and I don’t anticipate changing my habits until I have to. I … More You’ve heard of peppermint bark, but how about coffee bark?
I have concocted a dish that both myself and Blaine thoroughly enjoy for dinner, although it could easily be served for lunch, too. The dish in question doesn’t exactly have a name, but if I were to conjure one off the top of my head, I suppose Sasuage and Rice would do it. Not terribly … More How about a Cajun Sausage and Rice Skillet for dinner tonight?
As promised at the conclusion of yesterday’s post, today’s will be a continuation of our conversation pertaining to beef tallow. Yesterday’s post provided you with a brief overview of what exactly beef tallow is, and some common uses for it, and today’s post will focus more specifically on the different uses of beef tallow as … More Beef tallow: not just a cooking agent
Beef tallow is something I never gave a tremendous amount of thought to up until relatively recently. The reason behind a new and found interest in this magical stuff is thanks to a local business known as Tallow Twins; founded by two twins I went through school with, these sisters have created a number of … More You really should be using more beef tallow
To my knowledge, the presence of Denny’s restaurant chains here in Canada is lull when compared to its presence in the U.S. The first and only Denny’s I ever went to, up until quite recently, was in Buffalo, New York, and that was probably over ten years ago. I’m not exactly sure when it opened, … More When was the last time you went to Denny’s?
I’m not entirely sure what the reason behind a lack of representation regarding shrimp tacos across most restaurant menus is, but I am here to voice my opinion on the matter and assert that the general public would like to see more readily available shrimp tacos on any given restaurant menu. I hope you don’t … More Let’s make some shrimp tacos
From time to time I do myself a solid and explore convenience stores in search of new and exciting takes on the common chocolate bar. Is this a bit of a niche, if not, a bizarre hobby? Perhaps. But, I will say that I have collected a handful of chocolate bar special editions over the … More Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup … lava cake?!
Brownies are oftentimes a crowd pleaser, and for obvious reasons, really; they’re soft and gooey on the inside with a bit of crunch on the outside (especially if you snag a corner piece), and their chocolatey flavour is always pleasant. With Christmas approaching, I thought it might be a nice idea to bake some brownies. … More Let’s make Christmas brownies
Before we delve into the nitty gritty content of this absolutely riveting post, allow me to state that these fast food preference posts are not going to be a series by any means. I think after today’s post I shall cease writing about fast food favourites, in case anyone is stressing about this sort of … More How about your go-to McDonald’s order?
There is a definite probability that some of you read the title of today’s post and rendered its subject content completely and utterly useless. If so, I can’t entirely say I blame you; is today’s topic of utmost importance in the grand scheme of things? Hell, no. Call me odd, but I’ve always been curious … More What is your go-to Tim Horton’s order?
I believe I have mentioned before that I like to reference Buzzfeed articles from time to time in an attempt to keep up with what are, supposedly, unbelievably great products. I’ve managed to collect a few items over the years from these sorts of articles that have proven to be excellent purchases, hence why I … More If you like spice, you need this oil
Without trying to sound too redundant, many Christmas dishes and desserts tend to get a bit repetitive in terms of how many times they have graced our tables. Yes, tradition is important and should be respected to a certain extent, but I don’t necessarily think tradition should entirely negate the possibility of adding something new … More How about a Turtle Tart for your Christmas spread this year?
Without upsetting too many Italians, allow me to state that I consider pizza to be one of the most versatile food creations in existence. Aside from the classics, for example, pepperoni, Canadian, and Margherita, to name a few, you really can get quite creative with your pizza toppings, and I think it’s great that pizza … More Mexican … pizza?
