For some bizarre reason, I have always been drawn toward bread pudding. The reason I say it’s bizarre is that I’ve never even had it before; I have no idea what it tastes like, but I am convinced I would love it, and when an opportunity presents itself, you can bet that I will take … More Let’s make bread pudding
While grocery shopping a few days ago, my eyes spotted an item that I normally likely would not buy. The item in question was pizza spring rolls; the only reason I even glanced in their direction was because they were on sale, and upon further inspection, and recognizing a great price, I deemed them consumable … More Have you had Pizza Spring Rolls?
Each and every time I hear carbonara, I think of my dad, without fail. My dad is not a huge pasta lover, but he has always thoroughly enjoyed carbonara; when we went to Italy as a family a few years back, he took advantage of the carbonara (who can blame him?), and despite attempting to … More Carbonara … pizza?
I consider grilled cheese, as a meal, to equate to macaroni and cheese, as a meal, when you’re in your adult years. I’m not exactly sure why, but it seems as though social norms have encouraged us to associate specific foods and dishes with childhood, and I’m simply not a fan; there is absolutely no … More How do you like your grilled cheese?
Pumpkin is not something I am the biggest fan of regarding taste; I love pumpkins themselves as decoration and such, but when it comes to consuming it, I’ve never loved it. Whether it be pumpkin soup or pumpkin pie, it just doesn’t do much for me, and I would much rather savour some mashed potatoes … More Let’s make Pumpkin Pasta
Allow me to admit that the title I’ve come up with for this particular recipe may not have the most allure, but please believe me when I say I was attempting to go for a name that is as realistic and descriptive as possible. I don’t think things are going to get any better in … More Let’s make Lauren’s Cheesy Beef Fries
I drink a borderline inconceivable amount of water in a day, and if you don’t believe me when I tell you how much, I won’t be disheartened as most people, including my former doctor, don’t. I drink two to four gallons of water a day. How do I know this? My water bottle holds one … More Feeling parched? Try this for a hydration boost
I have never used pre-workout at any point in my life with the exception of this past summer. Granted, I’ve always been familiar with it and what it does, but I never really saw a reason for me to use it personally. Playing rugby this past summer certainly shifted my perspective toward pre-workout, however. Back … More Looking for some pre-workout? Try this
More often than not, I find myself scrambling to figure out what to make for dinner and get it on the table for me and my husband. It’s difficult to attempt to allot enough time to cook when two adults in one home both work full-time, so occasionally, my meals are not as elaborate as … More Looking for a simple dinner recipe?

This past Sunday, my parents graciously took Blaine and me out for a lovely dinner. Before getting married, and when the economy was a little better, my family and I would go for dinner almost every weekend. I’ve grown to miss it quite a bit since moving out, so any opportunity I have to go … More Have you been to Crazy Canuck Smokehouse in Brantford?
I honestly feel as though cottage cheese is the recipient of a lot of unwarranted flack. I’m not entirely sure why, but the majority of people seem to be repulsed by the stuff and would rather stomach rancid lunchmeat. You’re quite welcome for that gnarly visual. I wouldn’t say I’m cottage cheese’s number one fan, … More Cottage cheese … pancakes?
I’ve said it before and I will say it again; regardless of how much preparation you undertake prior to visiting Costco, you will always end up grabbing items you were not planning on getting. You don’t go to Costco with a list – Costco provides you with your list. Or, rather, you don’t tell Costco … More Lucky Charms Pillsbury Soft Baked Cookies: yay or nay?
Upon contemplating whether or not I have ever encountered someone who is not a fan of Alfredo pasta of some variation, I came to the realization I haven’t, and for good reason; Alfredo is one of those things that most of us can unanimously agree is delicious, and from childhood through to adulthood, it always … More Let’s make Chicken Alfredo
I may shock some people with this information, but I have never had a Crunchwrap from Taco Bell. It is not at all a matter of not liking Taco Bell, or being unwilling to try a Crunchwrap; rather, when it comes to fast food, McDonald’s is usually my go-to, so I couldn’t even tell you … More When two worlds collide: let’s make Big Mac Crunchwraps
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
