When it comes to pizza, my husband is a bit of a critic. I honestly have no doubt in my mind that, if he were ever faced with a situation in which he was required to give his life for a solid slab, he would; this man could eat pizza three meals a day for … More Here’s why Robby’s Pizza and Wings should be your go-to pizza spot
When it comes to cooking, the fewer dishes required, the better. I’ve conversed with a few different folks about how frustrating it is to consider how long it takes to prep and cook a meal, then clean up, versus how long it takes to actually consume it, and the realization is a wee bit disheartening … More How about a Pierogi and Kielbasa Sheet Pan Dinner for supper tonight?
Fast food and I have what I like to call a delayed relationship. Growing up, my mom tried her best to keep my sister and me away from fast food because it isn’t necessarily the healthiest, and while I can appreciate my mom’s intentions, I still felt a bit deprived of fast food when I … More Fast Food apps: Are they worth using?
I don’t share too many soup recipes here on my blog, and it is not because I don’t like soup. I fucking love soup for many reasons, some being its versatility, convenience, heartiness, and the idea it combines all of the food groups in one bowl for a one-dish meal. Evidently, I have no bad … More How about a bowl of some Chicken Tortellini Soup?
Thanks to my European background, I love me a solid pierogi as much as the next person. They’re delicious, versatile, and simple yet packed with flavour, and if you, for some unbeknownst reason, have yet to savour the remarkable flavour of these puppies, please do so at your earliest opportunity. I’ve been eating pierogies since … More Air fried… piergoies?
If you happened to laugh when you read the title of today’s post, I wouldn’t be surprised, nor would I be offended. I wouldn’t say conversation pertaining to baked potatoes and our dressing preferences for them are a highly sought-after topic of conversation, but I still figure it’s worth chatting about. Initially, I was planning … More How do you dress your baked potato?
Easter is just around the corner, and whether or not you celebrate this holiday, I think it is fair to say that the food associated with Easter is worth savouring regardless. Perhaps you have an entire spread planned, or maybe you’re going with something lighter, like finger foods; whatever your plans are, however, you might … More Wake up to some Easter Breakfast Casserole with this recipe
As I explained in yesterday’s post, Keurig and I share a long, complicated history. I’ve been through a few, to say the least, and after the last one crashed and burned, I knew it was time to move on from Keurig and spread my wings in the coffee maker realm. My sister, bless her, was … More Move over, Keurig: This should be your next coffee maker
I have no shame in admitting I may or may not have a slight addiction to coffee. No one believes me when I tell them this, but, believe it or not, I do not, and never have, consumed coffee for its energy-giving abilities; I quite literally drink a coffee every evening around 10pm. As much … More Calling all coffee lovers
When it comes to dessert, chocolate is just about always my preference. I’ve loved chocolate my entire life, and I doubt that my fixation will alter anytime soon; I’m rather rigid in my love and dedication for chocolate, and nothing can take the special place it holds in my heart. I was raised on authentic … More Let’s make Skillet Apple Cake
I recently came to the troubling realization that the majority of recipes I share here on my blog are food dishes as opposed to dessert recipes. Is this acknowledgement a riveting one in its nature? Absolutely not. But, I certainly don’t want to give anyone the impression that I’m not a fan of dessert, because … More Read this for some Easter dessert inspiration
I feel as though the term ‘casserole’ has a bit of stigma attached to it. I realize that is a slightly dramatic statement, but hear me out; plenty of people pull their noses up at the idea of casseroles and write them off as being disgusting, and I’ve honestly never understood this judgment. I suppose … More Let’s make Cheeseburger Casserole
I’ve dabbled in using apple cider vinegar for a variety of reasons here and there over the past few years. At one point, I was drinking it diluted in water, and now, I’m actually using it as a skin toner; I’ve used it to tackle dandruff before, and I still do occasionally if I need … More Apple cider vinegar: what can’t it do?
When it comes to dinner prep in our home, I could certainly improve. I try my best to give some thought well in advance to what I will be making for dinner on a given evening, and although I’ve compiled a series of notes in my head, I often forget to actually follow-up on these … More Cheesin’ for chilli cheese fries
I’m not sure if I am alone in this, but when I was a kid, I was absolutely under the impression that a meatball from Subway was the equivalent of a ticket to heaven’s gate. My God, Subway’s meatball subs had a grasp on me stronger than gorilla glue on that woman’s scalp, and you … More Let’s make meatball subs
Breakfast for dinner is something both Blaine and I appreciate and enjoy, and this past Sunday served as the perfect opportunity for us to do so. I went grocery shopping earlier in the day to grab a few items, and when I saw that hashbrowns were on sale, I deemed it appropriate to invest in … More Let’s make Lauren’s breakfast bowls
Lasagna, understandably, is a fan-favourite in the food realm. It is commonly acknowledged as a comfort food, and for good reason; layers of cheesy noodles filled with beef and smothered in a savoury tomato sauce? Yes, please. A few days ago, I threw a frozen lasagna I grabbed at some unknown point in the oven … More Let’s make skillet lasagna
When it comes to chocolate bars, I certainly have my favourites. Reese’s peanut butter cups are probably my number one choice, but, more specifically, the mega cups with actual Reese’s Pieces on top; I’m also a tremendous fan of Hershey’s Cookies and Cream bars, and Kinder Bueno’s. Despite having my go-to’s, in the instance I … More Let’s try rare chocolate bar flavours
I named this personal recipe on a bit of a whim simply to be able to insert a title for today’s post, but I do think my choice of ‘sausage sliders’ has a nice ring to it. Knowing my luck, sausage sliders are probably very much a thing already, and I’m here just perpetuating their … More Let’s make sausage sliders
I certainly am not expecting anyone to know what exactly Hungarian Haluski is, regardless if you have a Hungarian background or not. Hungarian Haluski is a savoury dish. I was unaware of what its name was, but I was familiar with the dish as my Nagymama had made it before, and since she, my sister. I … More Let’s make Hungarian HaluskiÂ
I am an absolute fiend for just about anything cheeseburger-flavoured. I love me a solid cheeseburger as well, of course, but for some bizarre reason, cheeseburger-flavoured dishes aside from an actual cheeseburger itself get me positively going. Cheeseburger-flavoured creations aren’t tremendously popular in my own observations, arguably because most people prefer a cheeseburger to something … More Let’s make cheeseburger dip
Today’s discussion of all things cold brew coffee is a continuation of yesterday’s post addressing the same subject matter. Without trying to give the impression of stark ignorance, I had no idea cold brew coffee is so intricate, hence why I’ve dedicated two posts to the topic; I am pleased, however, that I was inspired … More How much do you know about cold brew coffee? (part two)
If you were to split me open right now, there is a strong chance that coffee as opposed to blood would come spilling out. That’s a rather bold way to open this post, but now that I have your attention, let’s proceed on the topic of coffee, shall we? Anyone who knows me can attest … More How much do you know about cold brew coffee?
I can recall attempting to make monkey bread when I was probably about 12 years old. I don’t think it turned out so well, but up until now, I was under the impression monkey bread is always sweet, made with cinnamon. My understanding of monkey bread has shifted, however, thanks to a recipe I came … More Let’s make savoury monkey bread
You really cannot go wrong with a calzone, in my own humble opinion. You can’t really go wrong with pizza, either, for that matter, and since calzones are, in my own interpretation, a modified version of a pizza in a way, it makes sense both types of foods are so sought after. I don’t eat … More Let’s make homemade calzones
I deemed the official start to soup season on the first day of winter, but given the frigid temperatures here in Ontario as of late, I think now is an even more appropriate time to enjoy some hot, steamy soup. That said, soup can be consumed and enjoyed at any temperature or season. Just asserting … More Let’s make homemade chicken noodle soup
Whenever I hear the term ‘cowboy beans,’ I can’t help but chuckle a little bit. I’m not certain, but given my background in agriculture, I think the use of the word cowboy is intended to signify that the dish in question is hearty, filling and sustaining – cowboys need to eat well in order to … More Let’s make some hearty Cowboy Beans
Never did I think I would come across a food establishment on Christmas day to review, but I suppose stranger things have happened. Backtracking a little bit, but this past Christmas, Blaine and I found ourselves in a bit of a pickle. We were visiting Blaine’s parents and left later than we anticipated, and because … More Have you tried Tahini’s in Brantford?
When I tell you that I am a creature of habit when it comes to what I eat in a given day, I ain’t lying. Granted, I’m a creature of habit with just about anything in my life, and because I do love me a structured routine, what I eat for lunch and dinner doesn’t … More Let’s make grilled cheese
For anyone who read the title of today’s post and thought to themselves: chicken parmesan is already wonderful, why does it require an upgrade? – fair enough, honestly. Chicken parmesan is considered to be a comfort food dish for good reason, and to be completely candid, I don’t necessarily think it needs anything more added … More Here’s how to upgrade your chicken parmesan
