Blaine and I are both under the weather right now. He has a head cold as well as a sore throat, and based on how seriously shitty I am feeling, I suspect I might have some variation of a flu bug, but I’m not certain. Given how awful I’m feeling, cooking is not something I’ve … More Make this for dinner tonight
Hangovers are certainly not something any sane person would wish to experience, I would think, but they’re something that the vast majority of us have endured. They’re anything but pleasant, and in my own experience, depending on how bad of a hangover you’re dealing with, they often feel similar to having the flu or a … More How to cure a hangover, part two
Anyone who knows me personally will likely be a bit perplexed regarding the topic of today’s post; I don’t drink alcohol, therefore I am not one to experience hangovers. That is not to say I haven’t had some killer ones in the past, but since being diagnosed with Lyme disease, me and alcohol are no … More Read this to kick that hangover to the curb
As if anyone needed more reasons to drink coffee, am I right? Perhaps I speak for a small group of individuals when I say I could always and easily consume and in turn enjoy more coffee in my life, but I do have my limits. A few years back, when my family and I visited … More Get your coffee on, again
Coffee is something that has had tremendous relevance and importance to me for a while now. When I was younger, I despised coffee. I can recall trying a sip of my dad’s black coffee when I was in my early teenage years and never wanting to have that awful, bitter taste in my mouth again; … More Get your coffee on
I realize Thanksgiving has passed, and that dedicating a post to a scalloped potato recipe arguably would have been more relevant prior to Thanksgiving; I will note, however, that scalloped potatoes are absolutely a dish that can be enjoyed at any point in the calendar year, and furthermore, for any occasion, large or small. I’m … More Let’s make scalloped potatoes
When I sat down to write today’s blog entry, I once again found myself staring at a blank page, cursor blinking, trying to force some neurons to fire and formulate a riveting topic for today’s post. I don’t know about riveting, but I considered I hadn’t shared a recipe in a few days, so I … More Let’s make taco spaghetti
A couple of evenings ago, I found myself alone for dinner. Blaine had hockey and was baling hay, and because he was not here for dinner, I was able to enjoy something he is not a fan of – falafel. This particular falafel was not homemade, but instead came from a local grocer, and served … More Let’s talk about falafel
This past June marked mine and Blaine’s first wedding anniversary. We agreed, back in June, that we would go out and enjoy a lovely dinner to celebrate; fast-forward to present-day September, almost October, and we still haven’t gotten around to commemorating our first wedding anniversary. That is, until this past weekend. We agreed that our … More Have you been to Fume RestoBar?
Soup, as a meal, seems to be met, oftentimes, with scrutiny. I really cannot understand why, personally; I fucking love soup, and depending on the type, soup can absolutely serve as an entire meal. However, there are plenty of people who would disagree with me and my stance toward soup, arguing it isn’t filling and … More Let’s make chicken noodle soup
As I stated in yesterday’s post, I thought I would comprise a mini-series here on my blog in which I answer some common questions people often have for anyone in eating disorder recovery. I’m happy to answer any questions anyone may have, but I figure I’ll generate the conversation by starting with some that are … More Q and A: Eating disorder recovery edition (part two)
I’ve always been a pretty transparent person, and my history of an eating disorder is no exception to my translucence. I was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia when I was 17, and while the road I’m on now certainly has fewer bumps and divots than it once did, I can’t, and won’t, say recovery … More Q and A: Eating disorder recovery edition
I realize sea moss likely is not the first thing that comes to mind when contemplating nutritious and beneficial supplements to incorporate into a diet, but hear me out. I recently caught wind of the wild nutritional properties sea moss has to offer, and because I was curious, I decided to do a bit of … More Sea moss: your next dietary additive
While I am aware of the fact that McDonald’s food fails to be the most nutritional, it is damn delicious, and from time to time, I figure it’s alright to enjoy. I’ll grab McDonald’s for Blaine and I if I’m in a pinch and don’t exactly have the time to prepare a proper dinner, and … More What is your McDonald’s preference?
I will refrain from referring to my own recipe for cheesy noodles as mac and cheese, and for good reason; firstly, I’m not entirely sure as to how one goes about certifying a recipe; secondly, I do think there is a difference between cheesy noodles and mac and cheese, the main differentiating factor being mac … More Here’s how to make some tasty cheesy noodles
Fall is, without a doubt, my absolute favourite time of year. I should probably mention I reside in Ontario, Canada, for anyone unaware, and the reason I note the significance of making reference to my geographical location is because not all climates experience Fall the same way we Southern Ontarians do. The Fall months here … More Let’s make some Fall donuts
A little while ago, my parents went to a wedding to celebrate the marriage of longtime friends. The ceremony itself was within a parish, and the reception took place at Copetown Woods Golf Club in, you guessed it, Copetown, Ontario. My parents were thoroughly impressed with this venue, as well as the food served for … More Have you been to The Bistro at Copetown Woods Golf Club?
A few days ago, my dad’s side of the family got together for a lovely dinner to celebrate my Nagymama’s (grandmother, in Hungarian) birthday. We tend to celebrate her birthday with the entire family every year, and this year was no exception. We went to Devlin’s Country Bistro in Mount Pleasant and enjoyed a tremendous … More Let’s make pecan pie
A couple of evenings ago, I made a dish for dinner for Blaine and I that I’ve prepared a handful of times before. I was pleasantly surprised when Blaine, upon finishing eating, went for seconds and told me that this particular dinner was phenomenal, and furthermore, that he always thoroughly enjoys this dish when I … More Craving pasta? Make this
Water filters are important, sure, but up until recently, I can’t say I’ve devoted a tremendous amount of time to thinking about them and the benefits they offer. Since I was diagnosed with Lyme disease, however, the concept of water filtration and its importance has a lot more significance to me than it did, and … More Should you be using a water filter?
I genuinely feel as though casseroles are the subject of a tremendous amount of unwarranted scrutiny. For whatever reason, a lot of us fail to be overly keen toward the concept of ingesting a casserole of some sort, but I cannot fathom or determine why – casseroles are the shit, and you can make a … More Check out this casserole
As per yesterday’s post, today is a continuation of the topic of collagen and whether or not you should incorporate it into your daily supplement routine. I’m not a doctor by any means, nor am I a medical expert, so be sure to do your own research and consult with your family doctor prior to … More Here are some benefits collagen offers
As per my mother’s recommendation, I’ve been taking collagen for probably over a year now. I was aware that collagen is a fantastic supplement to take to promote hair, nail and skin health, but that was the extent of my collagen knowledge at the time I first started using it. I’ve been pleasantly surprised to … More Should you be using collagen?
Blaine and I don’t dabble in a whole lot of entertaining, but the odd time we do, I like to ensure I make a meal that not only (hopefully) pleases everyone’s tastebuds, but furthermore, enables guests to feel at ease and comfort. By that I mean I don’t want to prepare something ridiculously fancy, but … More Make this for your next dinner
Come summertime, it can be difficult trying to ensure you’re consuming enough water and electrolytes when you’re working outside in the heat.

Onion rings are the shit, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar. I realize those are fighting words to start off a post, but now that I have your attention, let’s chat about these delightful things commonly known as onion rings. They’re nothing fancy or special, but they’re tasty as hell, and homemade ones … More Let’s make homemade onion rings
When I first heard of the term SIBO, I thought I was hearing things, to be honest, so not to worry if you figured your eyes were deceiving you when you read the title of today’s post. SIBO is an acronym that stands for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, and I’m about to give you the … More What the heck is SIBO?
After writing a post about the series Blaine and I have been watching called Alone, I’ve found myself more attentive to survival information and knowledge as of late. My new interest is a bit laughable, really; whilst sitting in the comfort of my own home, eating snacks and drinking coffee, I’m watching people who actually … More Could you live off the land?
For anyone unfamiliar with the term breakfast bowl, not to fret; I’m not even necessarily sure this term exists, but it does now thanks to my own ingenuity. A breakfast bowl is similar to a burrito bowl, but instead of containing ingredients commonly found within burritos, a breakfast bowl contains ingredients and food commonly associated … More Here’s how to make a breakfast bowl
When I was younger, I did not enjoy the taste nor texture of chicken thighs. I couldn’t tell what exactly it was about the texture and taste of this cut of chicken that set me off, but it did, and I avoided eating chicken thighs as much as I possibly could. It, understandably, used to … More Here’s how to make some baked chicken thighs
