I have been feral for pasta from a very young age. To my knowledge, most kids are fans of pasta, but my love for it did not at all cease, and I’m still bonkers for it in my adulthood. It got to a point in our home when I was a child that my mom … More Let’s make homemade pasta
When I think of summer desserts, one of the first things that comes to mind is peach cobbler, and I couldn’t tell you why. Peach cobbler is delicious, yes, but oddly, I’ve only had it a handful of times throughout my life, so I’m not entirely sure why it presents itself so prominently in my … More Let’s make some peach cobbler
As wonderful as summer gatherings are, sometimes, trying to determine what sort of dish you’ll be bringing to the festivity in question is more complicated than the plot of Game of Thrones. You want to pick something that appeals to the masses, but without said dish being overdone, or redundant; by the time you figure … More How about some ‘Mom’s Molasses Ham and Beans’ for your next summer cookout?
Weeknight dinners can be a struggle for a lot of people. Between work, kids, extracurriculars and more, finding the time to not only prep but furthermore prepare a well-rounded, fulfilling meal on a weeknight can seem almost impossible. I don’t yet have children of my own, but with the farm and rugby, trying to find … More Here’s how to make some easy Sausage and Rice Bowls
I have always found it rather interesting that there are plenty of people out there who are not a fan of Caesar salad, but are avid fans of Caesar wraps, sandwiches, etc. If you enjoy the taste of Caesar salad in wrap or sandwich form, there is a very strong probability you will also enjoy … More How about some Chicken Caesar Baguettes for lunch or dinner?
If you aren’t a fan of shrimp, or shellfish, for that matter, I do apologize in advance for the fact this post won’t hold much relevance or interest to you. But, for those of us who do enjoy shrimp, buckle up, my friends, because this recipe is a friggen winner. I love shrimp, and I … More How about a Shrimp Street Corn Skillet for dinner tonight?
Eggs are, in my own humble opinion, a vastly underappreciated food. Not only are they considered staple ingredients in all sorts of baked goods and dishes, but there are a hell of a lot of different ways you can eat a plain egg. Whether your preference is scrambled, over-easy, poached or hard/soft boiled, eggs are … More Hungry? Some Folded Breakfast Enchiladas might help
A lot of people pull their noses up towards the idea of consuming a hot dog, and while I can understand why, to some extent, I can’t say I comprehend their leeriness entirely. Sure, if you happen to watch a video about how hot dogs are made, or perhaps do an extensive look at the … More Move over, hot dogs; Pretzel Dogs are here to stay
As much as most people love consuming barbecued food, I have come to realize that many people do not enjoy the actual task of barbecuing. I don’t think it’s a matter of not wanting to do the actual task of grilling, but rather, a fear of the barbecue itself. I should add that a lot … More Don’t fear the barbecue
I’m a sucker for bowls, and I’m a sucker for anything cheeseburger-flavoured. So, when I spotted a recipe for Cheeseburger Bowls from thepioneerwoman.com, I knew I had to share. My husband brought to my attention how I often create bowls out of whatever we are having for dinner on a particular evening; I didn’t even … More Hopw about some Cheeseburger Bowls for dinner tonight?
Salads have earned themselves a somewhat shitty reputation in the culinary world, and the general lack of appreciation towards them angers me a wee bit, as preposterous as that sounds. I think most people, when they hear the word ‘salad,’ automatically think of lettuce and some shit dressing. If that is the sort of salad … More How about some Jalapeno Popper Corn Salad for your next potluck?
It seems as though just about each and every time I open up Instagram on my phone, I find myself watching a Reel explaining how to make a relatively common food from very uncommon ingredients. Sometimes I can’t help but wonder if some foods should simply be left alone in their harmless existence, and how … More Cottage cheese … ice cream?!
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.

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?

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.

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
