While my background isn’t Polish, it is European, therefore, I have certainly familiarized myself with the joyous creations known as pierogis. Bizarrely, when I was a child, I wasn’t a huge fan of them. Thankfully, I grew up a bit, as did my palate, and while Blaine isn’t the biggest fan of them, I enjoy … More Let’s hear it for pierogis
I was inspired to share a recipe with all of you for today’s post, with the inspiration stemming from a complete and utter lack of functioning brainwaves on my behalf. I think I’m having a Lyme flare-up with the shit weather we have been having here in Southern Ontario (cool and rainy), and despite my … More Let’s make an Amish Breakfast Casserole
My husband’s birthday and my own are a mere four days apart, so we always celebrate them together. We are having a dinner with my parents, sister and grandmother to celebrate, and upon being asked where Blaine and I would like to order our birthday dinner from, we picked a restaurant that prepares one of … More Let’s make a “Killer Club Sandwich”
The ingredients you incorporate into your rub can quite honestly make or break the cut of meat in question when it comes to steak. Even worse is going without a rub entirely, and in my own humble opinion, preparing any type of meat without seasoning is a crime against humanity. I’m fortunate to have been … More What is your go-to steak rub?
When I was a child, I was absolutely under the impression that calzones were the best-tasting food in existence. I had one and was immediately hooked, and while I’ve grown and matured a bit since this occurrence, I still think calzones are fucking fire, and they’re a common comfort food favourite. I’ve never tried making … More How about some homemade calzones for dinner tonight?
I realized I haven’t shared a recipe here on my blog for a little while, so I figured one is due.

This could just be my own personal observation, but does anyone else feel as though finding a new and creative recipe on the internet nowadays is rather challenging? There are millions of recipes available, yes, but so many of them are redundant and boring, and, personally, I like a little bit of creativity when it … More How about a Chicken & Cheese Tortilla Pie for dinner tonight?
My mom, sister and I recently had a conversation about fish. Both my sister and I eat fish with Tartar sauce, however, my mother does not, and neither does my husband, Blaine. In Blaine’s defence, he has never really been a sauce guy. He prefers plain and, in my own humble opinion, boring, but who … More Here’s how to make your own Tartar sauce
If there are two things in this world my husband loves more than me, I am inclined to believe they would be hot dogs and pizza. I swear that Blaine could eat pizza daily for the rest of his life and never tire of it, and hot dogs are a close second. I should stipulate, … More Pizza … hot dogs?
I think it is common knowledge how important it is to start your day off with a good breakfast. I suspect most of us were inundated with this ideology from a young age by our parents or caretakers, much like I was, and the significance of breakfast makes sense; you want to begin your day … More Cake for breakfast? Yes, please
I started to make dinner before I sat down to write this post, and one of the things I am currently cooking as I simultaneously write this is smoked cheddar sausage.

I have yet to meet a dumpling I don’t like. I must inherit my appreciation for Asian cuisine from my dad, because he, too, is a dumpling feign; he and I are the only ones in our family who enjoy sushi, so every now and then we have a little dinner date together. It isn’t … More How about some Dumpling Soup for dinner tonight?
Within the past few months, I’ve made a personal effort to consume more protein. It isn’t at all a matter of me not enjoying protein, because I’m a meat feign; rather, because I have increased my physical activity and another rugby season is approaching, I figure it might do me some good to build up … More Let’s make protein pancakes
I have no shame in admitting my love for chicken nuggets. Will I be a 30-year-old woman this May? Yes. Are chicken nuggets commonly associated with children? Yes. But, despite this belief that adults cannot dabble in the pleasure of what is chicken nuggets, I gladly challenge the stigma and will savour and enjoy a … More Here’s how to make the Best Crispy Baked Chicken Nuggets
I swear I was Italian in a past life because my love for pasta borders on infatuation.

Today’s post was inspired by one of my best friends. She is currently at an agricultural conference in the U.S. and has been documenting her food experiences with me via Snapchat. The other morning, she ordered some seriously impressive-looking French Toast at a brunch joint where she is located, and because it looked so delicious, … More Craving something sweet? Read this
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?
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?
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
The inspiration behind today’s post stems from me writing this as I cook dinner for myself and my husband.

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?
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
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
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.

I have grown to appreciate sandwiches on a significantly higher level compared to when I was younger. I’m not exactly certain as to why, but I wasn’t the biggest fan of them when I was a kid; don’t get me wrong, I ate them and enjoyed them, too. Now, however, I find myself wanting to … More Switch up your typical sandwiches with a some BLT Waffle Sliders
