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. I try my best to choose recipes I think would please most people, as opposed to something very specific that requires a tailored palate, and I figure pasta is one that normally appeals to … More How about some Cheesy Beef Pasta for dinner tonight?
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?
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?
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?
Before we delve into the subject matter of today’s post, allow me to clarify that I am not claiming that I, personally, know how to, or am able to, for that matter, perfectly roast a chicken. Rather, the recipe I am referencing for today’s post is literally titled “Perfect Roast Chicken.” I don’t believe anything … More Here’s how to make a perfect roast chicken
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
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 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
Upon doing a Google search to find some lovely Christmas-inspired recipes to share with all of you, I have to say I was a bit disappointed. So many of the recipes marketed as being ‘Christmasy’ are anything but, including the one I will share with you today. I have no clue what constitutes Four Cheese … More Let’s make four-cheese sausage rigatoni
When it comes to chilli, most people have the image of a warm, rich, red and savoury version that comes to mind, and understandably so; chilli, oftentimes, does meet these credentials, and it is this particular version of chilli we tend to associate with the name itself. There are other types of chilli in existence, … More Let’s make White Chilli
Chicken pot pie is a comfort food for a lot of people, and understandably so; I enjoy it, and while I wouldn’t say it is my favourite or my go-to, on occasion, a chicken pot pie absolutely slaps, and I have to say Swiss Chalet’s is rather scrumptious. I went through a phase during which … More Let’s make Chicken Pot Pie Soup
I grew up with an electric stove in our home, and I didn’t know anything different until I moved out of my childhood home and into my current home with Blaine. We decided to purchase a gas stove, and while I’m not exactly sure why we decided on gas seeing as Blaine also grew up … More Gas versus electric: which stove reigns supreme?
Beans, for a reason unbeknownst to me, are often on the receiving end of a lot of scrutiny. I struggle to comprehend this blatant bean bullying (how’s that for some alliteraiton?) considering beans are extremely inexpensive, nutritious and filling, but I figure people who write them off without giving them a fair chance don’t deserve … More Let’s make Cowboy Beans
While the production line has finally ceased, my mom and sister have been hard at work over the last couple of weeks making homemade tomato sauce, using tomatoes from my sister’s garden. When myself and my cousins were smaller, my dad’s side of the family would come together to make tomato sauce, but once we … More Here’s how to make the best homemade tomato sauce
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?
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?

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
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
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
