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
I deemed the official start to soup season on the first day of winter, but given the frigid temperatures here in Ontario as of late, I think now is an even more appropriate time to enjoy some hot, steamy soup. That said, soup can be consumed and enjoyed at any temperature or season. Just asserting … More Let’s make homemade chicken noodle soup
Whenever I hear the term ‘cowboy beans,’ I can’t help but chuckle a little bit. I’m not certain, but given my background in agriculture, I think the use of the word cowboy is intended to signify that the dish in question is hearty, filling and sustaining – cowboys need to eat well in order to … More Let’s make some hearty Cowboy Beans
When I tell you that I am a creature of habit when it comes to what I eat in a given day, I ain’t lying. Granted, I’m a creature of habit with just about anything in my life, and because I do love me a structured routine, what I eat for lunch and dinner doesn’t … More Let’s make grilled cheese
For anyone who read the title of today’s post and thought to themselves: chicken parmesan is already wonderful, why does it require an upgrade? – fair enough, honestly. Chicken parmesan is considered to be a comfort food dish for good reason, and to be completely candid, I don’t necessarily think it needs anything more added … More Here’s how to upgrade your chicken parmesan
For our Christmas gathering this year with my husband’s family, I have been asked to bring two things. The first is a cheese platter, which is easy enough, and the second is some sort of dessert. The criteria pertaining to what sort of dessert I will be bringing specifically remains undisclosed, and I’ve been trying … More Let’s make Christmas sugar cookies
I’ve never actually made beef Wellington, but I have sampled it. I realize that doesn’t do this particular post any justice seeing as it is a recipe post, and I’m not going to pretend that I have, in fact, used this recipe to compose a Beef Wellington. But, I suppose my intention is to encourage … More Let’s make Beef Wellington
When I stumbled across the recipe for Bacon Pickle Pizza, I was immediately intrigued. I love pickles, specifically dill, and furthermore, I can appreciate recipes that incorporate dill pickle flavour into non-traditional dill pickle dishes. Oftentimes you’ll see recipes for dill pickle dips, which is fine and dandy, but when a recipe including dill pickle … More Let’s make bacon pickle pizza
I’m not a huge potato chip eater. My mom never really bought chips nor kept them in the house when my sister and I were growing up, much to my dad’s dismay, and I think an absence of them has allowed me to carry on through life without giving much thought to them. I like … More Love Fritos? Make this recipe tonight
I’ll begin this post with utmost transparency – the recipe I will be focusing on and sharing with all of you today is one I haven’t yet had the opportunity to make. I was planning on making this dish this past weekend, as Blaine and I were set to have friends over for dinner, but, … More Let’s make creamy chicken pasta
Sometimes, late at night, if I can’t sleep, I’ll hit up Pinterest for some new and enticing recipes. If one is having difficulty falling asleep, is using a smartphone the best idea? Absolutely not, and I am aware of that, but thank you in advance, Becky. Moving on. For whatever bizarre reason, scrolling through Pinterest … More Let’s make garlic butter pasta
I couldn’t even tell you the last time I had coffee cake, but, for whatever reason, when I was brainstorming some recipe ideas for today’s post, coffee cake was one of the first things that came to mind. I figure this is my subconscious attempting me to remind me of just how long it’s been … More Let’s make coffee cake
Blaine and I are both under the weather right now. He has a head cold as well as a sore throat, and based on how seriously shitty I am feeling, I suspect I might have some variation of a flu bug, but I’m not certain. Given how awful I’m feeling, cooking is not something I’ve … More Make this for dinner tonight
I realize Thanksgiving has passed, and that dedicating a post to a scalloped potato recipe arguably would have been more relevant prior to Thanksgiving; I will note, however, that scalloped potatoes are absolutely a dish that can be enjoyed at any point in the calendar year, and furthermore, for any occasion, large or small. I’m … More Let’s make scalloped potatoes
When I sat down to write today’s blog entry, I once again found myself staring at a blank page, cursor blinking, trying to force some neurons to fire and formulate a riveting topic for today’s post. I don’t know about riveting, but I considered I hadn’t shared a recipe in a few days, so I … More Let’s make taco spaghetti
A couple of evenings ago, I found myself alone for dinner. Blaine had hockey and was baling hay, and because he was not here for dinner, I was able to enjoy something he is not a fan of – falafel. This particular falafel was not homemade, but instead came from a local grocer, and served … More Let’s talk about falafel
Soup, as a meal, seems to be met, oftentimes, with scrutiny. I really cannot understand why, personally; I fucking love soup, and depending on the type, soup can absolutely serve as an entire meal. However, there are plenty of people who would disagree with me and my stance toward soup, arguing it isn’t filling and … More Let’s make chicken noodle soup
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? Make this
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
