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 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?

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
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
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
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
This past weekend I attended a function involving my dad’s family. It was nice to see my cousins again; now that we’re older and growing up and whatnot, we don’t see each other as often as we once did. We all enjoyed a barbecue and some dessert, and one dessert option was a lovely blueberry … More Here is how to make some scrumptious blueberry cake
I’m a bit of a hypocrite when it comes to the title of today’s post; I’ve never had the privilege of sampling peach pie myself, so I really can’t deem my title to be entirely appropriate. I have, however, heard from plenty of different people that peach pie is one of their favourite desserts to … More Praise for peach pie
Fish tacos, when prepared correctly, absolutely slap, in my own humble opinion. My use of the word slap, in this case, is to indicate excellence. It’s a term the young kids are using these days. I fucking adore fish tacos, and I order them just about any time I spot them on a menu in … More Here’s how to make homemade fish tacos
If you happened to read the title of today’s post aloud, in the presence of others, and someone countered your exclamation with bless you, I would not be surprised. KürtÅ‘skalács isn’t exactly the most common word, and furthermore, I imagine it is one most folks aren’t entirely familiar with. Referencing onesweetharmony.com, KürtÅ‘skalács is the Hungarian … More Here is how to make KürtÅ‘skalács
When it comes to bruschetta, I think most people are a fan. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say they don’t like bruschetta, and the only logical explanation I can come up with for not being a bruschetta advocate is a dislike of tomatoes, perhaps. Regardless, hear me when … More Have a hankering for bruschetta chicken? Look no further
This past weekend, I had my mom, dad and sister come over for dinner at mine and Blaine’s home for Father’s Day. I’ve been slacking in the hosting department in the context of having my immediate family over to our home for some meals, so I figured Father’s Day would be a fitting opportunity. I … More Hosting a dinner? Make this
This past Thursday, Blaine and I celebrated his 29th birthday. He isn’t exactly the type to willingly engage in celebratory birthday activities, so our festivities were pretty low-key, just as he prefers. Blaine has a sweet tooth but can be picky with his desserts. He is an avid fan of his grandmother’s chocolate pie, and … More Read this to learn how to make homemade chocolate pie
I positively love jalapeno poppers. They’re tasty as hell and offer a delectable combination of crunch, courtesy of their breading, and creaminess, courtesy of their cheese-filled centre. Granted, you don’t know how hot they’re going to be until you bite into one, but that’s part of the experience. I cannot help but think of my … More Here is how to make some homemade jalapeno poppers
I consider myself to be a lot of different things, but a chef is not one of them. I enjoy cooking, for the most part, and I take pride in preparing food for myself and Blaine, meaning I don’t half-ass things when it comes to cooking, for the most part. We all have our days, … More Make this for dinner tonight
Lemongrass restaurant in Hamilton, Ontario, should be on your list of restaurants to visit if you’re a fan of Asian fusion cuisine.

When I sat down to write today’s post, I hit the wall hard when it came time to come up with a topic to discuss.

I do ask that you grant me the opportunity to acknowledge the title of today’s post and state that by no means do I intend to communicate any disrespect toward anyone in poverty.

This past weekend, Blaine and I had friends of ours over to see our home and have dinner.

Yesterday’s post provided all of you with some information pertaining to how to go about composing some homemade dog treats, so it really is only fair that today’s post provides you with that same information, only this time, in the context of cats.

For anyone who owns a dog, you’re arguably aware of how important treats are for your pupper. Dogs are God-sent creatures that are far too pure and wonderful to be without treats, and so we as their owners must do our due diligence and ensure our doggos are receiving treats whenever necessary. Most of us … More Here’s how to make homemade dog treats
Anyone who has seen the film Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby will arguably understand the reference I’m about to make: ‘If you don’t like chilli then f*** you.’ If you haven’t seen this movie or are unfamiliar with this quote, please do not take my expression to heart. Tis but a joke, and … More Let’s make some chilli
I will begin this post by acknowledging the fact that the name I have given a particular food dish I recently made may be entirely inaccurate. Personally, I think calling what I made a sausage hash encapsulates this dish in all its glory, but I’m not a chef, nor am I a food expert. So, … More Let’s make sausage hash
When my Oma and Opa were still here with us Earth-side, towards the end of their lives, they found themselves living in Hamilton. They lived in a retirement home, and once a week, my mom would head to the Hammer to visit with them, run any errands then required, etc. I was in university during … More Read this if you’re a fan of Vietnamese spring rolls
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before, but in case I haven’t, allow me this opportunity to inform you all that Blaine works on his family’s cattle farm. It’s a beef operation, meaning the cattle aren’t exclusively Holstein for producing milk; rather, these cows are a variety of breeds and are raised for consumption. Being … More Let’s make homemade hamburgers
