I try my best to limit myself and my tastebuds when I go grocery shopping. I really do. I make a list beforehand, try my best to avoid going on an empty stomach, and try to find the best deals and prices possible to save some coin. I still, however, buy myself some treats from … More Here’s how to make some cinnamon coffee muffins
On Saturday evening, my mom came over to my and Blaine’s place to have dinner with us. My sister and dad weren’t home for the evening, so rather than her eating alone, it makes sense for her to come over to where we are seeing as we are quite close. Blaine’s been pretty sick for … More Make this chicken for dinner tonight
I’ll be entirely transparent and admit that the topic of today’s post is not one I came up with independently. I use WordPress for my blog, and while I usually don’t enjoy the changes made to my site every time it undergoes an unprecedented upgrade, I can appreciate one element of the new system which … More What are some things you’re good at?
I promised Blaine I would make him some homemade banana bread shortly after he and I moved into our home. I haven’t forgotten about or abandoned my promise, but I should probably make note of the fact that almost five months have elapsed since making this promise to Blaine. I figure if I write a … More Here’s how to make the most delicious homemade banana bread
For my American readers, I apologize for composing a post about how to create splendid stuffing just after you celebrated Thanksgiving. How inconsiderate of me, I know. I am pleased to inform you and all of my readers, however, that not only is stuffing a vastly underrated dish that can absolutely be enjoyed any time … More Here’s how to make some perfect homemade stuffing
On Sunday evening, my mom, dad and I decided to grab some Chinese food for dinner, and naturally, we went to our favourite local spot – The Oriental in Brantford, Ontario. The Oriental truly serves the best Chinese food in Brant County, hands down, and while just about everything on their menu is phenomenal, one … More Here’s how to make homemade almond soo guy
When it comes to cookies, it is safe to say I have my favourites. Cookies as a general concept are one of my preferred desserts, but if I had to pick my go-to flavours, they would be chocolate chip, oatmeal, and sugar cookies. These guys are the cream of the crop, if you ask me, … More Here’s how to make some delicious sugar cookies
I think just about everyone would agree that waking up to the smell of bacon and eggs cooking for breaky is always a good thing. Unless you’re a vegetarian or a vegan, because I’m not entirely sure how many vegetarian/vegan options exist in the breakfast food realm. But, for those of us who do eat … More Let’s normalize breakfast for dinner
The other night, I found myself in a bit of a pickle in regard to what exactly I was going to make for dinner on this particular evening for Blaine and me. I knew I was making pasta of some sort, but needed to come up with a protein, and I was running short on … More Here’s how to make some wicked chicken breasts in an air fryer
After yesterday’s post, I thought it would make sense to provide all of you with a recipe to make with an air fryer. Seeing as I praised and applauded an air fryer as a cooking tool for the duration of yesterday’s post, I realized today that folks might be questioning what exactly to create in … More Here’s how to make pizza in an air fryer
I’ve had my eyes on an air fryer ever since Blaine and I moved into our home about four months ago. I figured I could ask for one for Christmas, or wait until one comes on sale, and to be honest, I forgot about getting one for a little while. That is, until I saw … More Yes, you really do need an air fryer
Cooking is something that has relevance to just about all of us. Whether you’re cooking for yourself or have someone in your life who consistently cooks for you, the process of preparing food for consumption is a relatively universal one, and while most of us dabble in it in one way or another, we may … More Check out these cooking hacks
It’s fall, so you can bet your candle apple ass that apple pie is next up on the food roster. Apple pie is splendid any time of year, however, it does hit different once fall arrives. There’s nothing like curling up with a hot slice of apple pie in a cozy blanket, staring out the … More Here’s how to make some wicked apple pie this Autumn
This past Sunday, Blaine and I did some small-scale entertaining in our home. Well, to be honest, I did the majority of the entertaining, but Blaine was present, so I suppose he gets some recognition. We had Blaine’s parents over for dinner, and it marked the first occasion on which I prepared dinner for someone … More Make this for your next dinner
Please don’t kill me, but I have to be honest and admit that I am not in any way, shape or form a big fan of pumpkin. You can prepare it however you would like, but I’m probably not going to enjoy it, regardless of the version of pumpkin you serve me. I love pumpkins … More Here’s how to make the perfect pumpkin pie
Quite a few years ago, I was blessed to come across an item in the supermarket known as TajÃn. If I remember correctly, I picked this up while doing some grocery shopping while I was in university, and I fell head-over-heels in love with the stuff. Devastatingly, I haven’t been able to spot this glorious … More Looking to flavour your food with something new? Read this
I came to the realization the other day that I share plenty of recipes with you from a variety of sources, but to date, I believe I’ve only shared one of my own personal recipes, if you can call it that. I don’t normally use recipes when I cook, unless I’m looking to make something … More Try this pasta dish for dinner tonight
I had a bit of a deprived childhood regarding comfort food classics. My mom, bless her and her genuine intentions, sort of did a 180 with her cooking after she was diagnosed with cancer for the first time – she wanted to feed her family food that was nutritious and beneficial, and as much as … More Here’s how to make some homemade Hamburger Helper
It’s a wee bit ironic that I’m writing this post while not being able to taste anything courtesy of COVID. As miserable as the main physical symptoms of COVID are, I honestly think not being able to taste or smell anything has been the worst symptom yet, arguably because it keeps prolonging itself and food … More Here’s how to make some wicked bruschetta
I absolutely love guacamole. You just can’t go wrong with it paired alongside a bowl of some crunchy, salty tortilla chips, and it’s versatile in the sense it works as an appetizer or even a meal, depending on what you’re feeling on a given day. I could easily eat chips and guac as a meal … More Read this to learn how to make some delicious guacamole
I happen to love burritos. I’ve enjoyed them for as long as I can remember, although my passion for these delightful things arguably peaked when I was studying at Brock University – in Brock’s Marketplace, which is basically a huge dining hall with all sorts of yummy options, they had a burrito station, and I … More Here’s how to make some mean burritos
Picky eaters aren’t exactly the best people to deal with when it comes to cooking for them. Attempting to determine a meal that a picky eater will actually eat is a feat enough in itself, let alone consistently coming up with dishes and creations to provide them with. Blaine, my husband, is a picky eater. … More Dealing with picky eaters
I feel like a lot of us have misconceptions about salads. When we hear the word ‘salad’, we arguably visualize leafy greens with some sort of dressing, probably oil and vinegar if I had to guess. This form of salad, in my own humble opinion, is a wee bit bland and boring. Well, actually, not … More Check out this epic summer salad
For many of us, Chinese food is our go-to hangover food. Personally, I enjoy eating Chinese food regardless if I am hung over or not. Still, there is something to be said pertaining to the satisfaction earned munching on some chicken balls and egg rolls when your liver could rival that of formaldehyde in terms … More Read this to learn how to make Cantonese Chow Mein from scratch
My mom, bless her heart and good intentions, raised my sister and I in a rather healthy household. She refused to buy junk food for us when we were kids, and so I was forced to resort to trying to trade off my apple slices for Dunkaroos at recess which, rather obviously, didn’t work out … More Read this to learn how to make homemade pizza pockets
Podcasts aren’t new. They’ve been around for a hot minute, and most of us are fully aware of how great they are. Everyone but me, apparently, but I am pleased to report that I recently have begun to delve into the black hole of available podcasts, and so far, I’m really enjoying their existence. In … More The beauty of podcasts
A few nights ago, my mom served our family and me a Hungarian cucumber salad for dinner. Perhaps I should add that there were more food items than just cucumber salad. We are not being rationed, at least, not to my knowledge. We also had hash browns and fish. It is quite possible you’ve never … More Read this to learn how to make Hungarian cucumber salad
Hamburgers, in my opinion, are the absolute shit. To clarify, when I refer to something as ‘the shit’, it means I have a grand appreciation for it, and further that I respect the hell out of it. Just in case anyone was wondering why I was referencing hamburger and shit in the same breath. Hamburgers … More Looking for a homemade hamburger recipe? Look no further
While it isn’t quite watermelon season yet here in Ontario, the time is approaching, and I and a lot of other Ontarians are arguably excited. Watermelon is the shit; it’s super refreshing on a hot day, and because it contains so much water, it is a very filling snack, which I can appreciate. The one … More Here’s how to make a mean watermelon salad
I love food, as do most of us. My love for food arguably stems from the food my mom made for me growing up, as well as my background; I’m Hungarian and Dutch, and while the Dutch may not necessarily be known for their food, the Hungarians sure are. I follow a few food accounts … More Read this to learn how to change your potato wedge game
