Hamburgers are one of my favourite foods to enjoy in the summertime, as they are for many people. I don’t know what it is about biting into a tasty, juicy burger on a warm summer evening, but that shit slaps, and while burgers are also delicious in the winter months, they’re always better on a … More How about some Smash Burger Tacos for dinner tonight?
As much as I love dessert, I don’t know if I would be capable of consuming literal cake to start my day off. I used to eat a huge breakfast when I was younger; some days I would eat an entire box of cereal. Currently, I’m enjoying having a lighter breakfast as I don’t feel … More Cake for breakfast? Why not?
I try my best to cook with as much creativity as I can muster for myself and my husband, but more often than not, I find myself unintentionally getting into a bit of a cooking rut. Blaine, my husband, is a picky eater which doesn’t help the cause by any means, but additionally, we both … More This could be your new go-to dinner
One could say I’m subliminally pushing creativity onto you, my beloved readers, in the form of pasta as of late. A few days ago, I shared a recipe for a dill pickle pasta salad, and I stated in that post that the pairing between pickles and pasta is not one I’ve ever seen before. As … More If you thought dill pickle pasta was odd, how about corn pasta?
I don’t visit the Keg too often – normally only for special occasions and celebrations, not so much for casual dining. Blaine and I recently went to The Keg to celebrate our wedding anniversary that recently passed, and like any other time I dine at The Keg, I thoroughly enjoyed their mashed potatoes. Weirdly, I’m … More Here’s how to make The Keg’s mashed potatoes at home
My family and I have always loved Mexican food, and I believe our appreciation for it stems from our temporary foreign migrant workers who assist us on our farm annually. Our workers come from Mexico, and they’ve been working on our farm for longer than I’ve been alive; our one worker, Salome, has been with … More If you’ve never tasted tomatillos, consider this your sign
If you happen to be a resident of Southern Ontario, I do not need to inform you of how damn hot it has been as of late. Back in May, we experienced a week of blazing heat, only for that to be followed by unusually cool weather for June. Apparently, Mother Nature was allowing her … More Here’s what to make when it’s too hot to cook
This might be a bizarre assertion, but as of late, I’ve really been enjoying sandwiches. That is not to say I didn’t like sandwiches before recently; I’ve always enjoyed them, but I think for a while I was entirely unaware of how fucking great sandwiches can be in terms of their versatility. I was also … More Let’s make club sandwiches
Beer is not exactly the initial thought that comes to mind when I contemplate bread, but hey, I firmly believe in abstaining from knocking on something until you’ve tried it. You never know what you could be missing out on by pulling your nose up toward something foreign. I was scrolling through some recipes via … More Let’s make some … beer bread?
Seeing as yesterday’s post involved a detailed discussion about foil packet meals, I deemed it only appropriate to share a recipe for a foil packet creation with all of you. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, the flavour combinations and possibilities are borderline endless when it comes to foil packet dinners, and they’re handy as … More Let’s make Potato-Sausage Foil Packs
When I was about 12, I entered my culinary era in life; I was captivated by food and cooking and was absolutely certain that I wanted to be a chef. Obviously, plans changed, but I am quite grateful that food became such an avid interest of mine at a young age. It proved to be … More In a pinch for dinner? Make some foil packets
In accordance with my observations thus far, Chinese food is a cuisine that quite literally appeals to just about everyone. I should clarify that when I say Chinese food, I’m referring to the Northern American version of it as opposed to authentic Chinese food; whether it be chicken balls, fried rice, egg rolls, or chow … More How about some Steak Fried Rice for dinner tonight?
When it comes to breakfast, I’m most certainly game; I, like most people, I imagine, love breakfast foods, and I have no issue eating foods that are normally associated with breakfast for other meals throughout the day. My husband and I love having breaky for dinner, and while we both thoroughly enjoy our typical fried … More Let’s make breakfast burgers
I have always absolutely loved Asian cuisine and the incredible flavours that are often incorporated into dishes. There is something so deeply satisfying about indulging in a meal in which you can actually taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients, and Asian cuisine is no exception to this experience. Asian cuisine may be perceived … More Serve this grilled shrimp and noodle salad at your next dinner party
When I took a package of bacon out of my freezer to thaw a couple of days ago, I wasn’t entirely certain, at the time, what I was going to do with it. Obviously, my plan was to consume said bacon, but I hadn’t yet determined how I was going to prepare the bacon, and … More Let’s make Lauren’s bacon pasta
When it comes to cooking, the fewer dishes required, the better. I’ve conversed with a few different folks about how frustrating it is to consider how long it takes to prep and cook a meal, then clean up, versus how long it takes to actually consume it, and the realization is a wee bit disheartening … More How about a Pierogi and Kielbasa Sheet Pan Dinner for supper tonight?
I would wager that the prospect of hobbies and interests is one that has an allure to most of us. The notion of an activity tailored to our own passions must be one we would enjoy doing, as often is the case in the context of hobbies, yet most of us can probably relate to … More Need a hobby? Read this
I don’t share too many soup recipes here on my blog, and it is not because I don’t like soup. I fucking love soup for many reasons, some being its versatility, convenience, heartiness, and the idea it combines all of the food groups in one bowl for a one-dish meal. Evidently, I have no bad … More How about a bowl of some Chicken Tortellini Soup?
Thanks to my European background, I love me a solid pierogi as much as the next person. They’re delicious, versatile, and simple yet packed with flavour, and if you, for some unbeknownst reason, have yet to savour the remarkable flavour of these puppies, please do so at your earliest opportunity. I’ve been eating pierogies since … More Air fried… piergoies?
Easter is just around the corner, and whether or not you celebrate this holiday, I think it is fair to say that the food associated with Easter is worth savouring regardless. Perhaps you have an entire spread planned, or maybe you’re going with something lighter, like finger foods; whatever your plans are, however, you might … More Wake up to some Easter Breakfast Casserole with this recipe
I feel as though the term ‘casserole’ has a bit of stigma attached to it. I realize that is a slightly dramatic statement, but hear me out; plenty of people pull their noses up at the idea of casseroles and write them off as being disgusting, and I’ve honestly never understood this judgment. I suppose … More Let’s make Cheeseburger Casserole
When it comes to dinner prep in our home, I could certainly improve. I try my best to give some thought well in advance to what I will be making for dinner on a given evening, and although I’ve compiled a series of notes in my head, I often forget to actually follow-up on these … More Cheesin’ for chilli cheese fries
I’m not sure if I am alone in this, but when I was a kid, I was absolutely under the impression that a meatball from Subway was the equivalent of a ticket to heaven’s gate. My God, Subway’s meatball subs had a grasp on me stronger than gorilla glue on that woman’s scalp, and you … More Let’s make meatball subs
Breakfast for dinner is something both Blaine and I appreciate and enjoy, and this past Sunday served as the perfect opportunity for us to do so. I went grocery shopping earlier in the day to grab a few items, and when I saw that hashbrowns were on sale, I deemed it appropriate to invest in … More Let’s make Lauren’s breakfast bowls
Lasagna, understandably, is a fan-favourite in the food realm. It is commonly acknowledged as a comfort food, and for good reason; layers of cheesy noodles filled with beef and smothered in a savoury tomato sauce? Yes, please. A few days ago, I threw a frozen lasagna I grabbed at some unknown point in the oven … More Let’s make skillet lasagna
I named this personal recipe on a bit of a whim simply to be able to insert a title for today’s post, but I do think my choice of ‘sausage sliders’ has a nice ring to it. Knowing my luck, sausage sliders are probably very much a thing already, and I’m here just perpetuating their … More Let’s make sausage sliders
I certainly am not expecting anyone to know what exactly Hungarian Haluski is, regardless if you have a Hungarian background or not. Hungarian Haluski is a savoury dish. I was unaware of what its name was, but I was familiar with the dish as my Nagymama had made it before, and since she, my sister. I … More Let’s make Hungarian HaluskiÂ
I am an absolute fiend for just about anything cheeseburger-flavoured. I love me a solid cheeseburger as well, of course, but for some bizarre reason, cheeseburger-flavoured dishes aside from an actual cheeseburger itself get me positively going. Cheeseburger-flavoured creations aren’t tremendously popular in my own observations, arguably because most people prefer a cheeseburger to something … More Let’s make cheeseburger dip
I can recall attempting to make monkey bread when I was probably about 12 years old. I don’t think it turned out so well, but up until now, I was under the impression monkey bread is always sweet, made with cinnamon. My understanding of monkey bread has shifted, however, thanks to a recipe I came … More Let’s make savoury monkey bread
You really cannot go wrong with a calzone, in my own humble opinion. You can’t really go wrong with pizza, either, for that matter, and since calzones are, in my own interpretation, a modified version of a pizza in a way, it makes sense both types of foods are so sought after. I don’t eat … More Let’s make homemade calzones
