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?

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 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
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?
If you happened to laugh when you read the title of today’s post, I wouldn’t be surprised, nor would I be offended. I wouldn’t say conversation pertaining to baked potatoes and our dressing preferences for them are a highly sought-after topic of conversation, but I still figure it’s worth chatting about. Initially, I was planning … More How do you dress your baked potato?
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
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
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
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
I can’t exactly pinpoint the first time I ever had the pleasure of eating food from Chipotle, but it was quite a few years ago now. If I am not mistaken, I first sampled Chipotle stateside as the franchise hadn’t yet made its way to Canada, and I think I have a chicken burrito bowl. … More Let’s make mock Chipotle burrito bowls
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?

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
When I was younger, I did not enjoy the taste nor texture of chicken thighs. I couldn’t tell what exactly it was about the texture and taste of this cut of chicken that set me off, but it did, and I avoided eating chicken thighs as much as I possibly could. It, understandably, used to … More Here’s how to make some baked chicken thighs
When it comes to bruschetta, I think most people are a fan. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say they don’t like bruschetta, and the only logical explanation I can come up with for not being a bruschetta advocate is a dislike of tomatoes, perhaps. Regardless, hear me when … More Have a hankering for bruschetta chicken? Look no further
When I was still living with my parents, I often heard my mom express her frustration when it came to thinking of new things to cook for dinner. She would tell me that it is far too easy to get into a cooking rut when it comes to preparing meals for yourself and family, and … More Make this for dinner tonight
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before, but in case I haven’t, allow me this opportunity to inform you all that Blaine works on his family’s cattle farm. It’s a beef operation, meaning the cattle aren’t exclusively Holstein for producing milk; rather, these cows are a variety of breeds and are raised for consumption. Being … More Let’s make homemade hamburgers
