I’ve never considered myself to be a picky eater, despite not being a tremendous fan of most vegetables. I’ll eat many of them, but I don’t particularly enjoy the vast majority of them. Oddly enough, one food that I don’t mind having plenty of veggies with is pizza. I realize that makes absolutely no sense … More How about a BLT pizza for dinner tonight?
Being a farmer’s daughter, in combination with living and working on our family farm for most of my life, one could assert that I’m a little bit biased on the topic of agriculture, and I suppose they would be correct in their assertion. I’ve always been quite passionate about farming, and my background and experience … More Why aren’t we worried about the future of farmland?
When I sat down to write today’s entry, I sincerely hoped inspiration would strike in an utterly profound manner, but, alas, it did not. As much as I would like to think I’m a creative person, there are certainly days during which inspiration is as realistic to find as a ten-headed goat. So, when I’m … More Let’s make Baked Feta Pasta for dinner tonight
While I might not identify as Polish, my love for pierogis suggests otherwise. You just can’t go wrong with a solid pierogi, and while I’ll eat just about any kind, my preference is cheese and/or bacon. This might be a hot take, but eating pierogis alongside apple sauce positively slaps. Try it if you don’t … More How about a Pierogi and Meatball Skillet for dinner tonight?
Pillsbury is a highly recognized and highly reputable name in the food realm, and for solid reasoning; their croissants are arguably some of the most famous ones in existence, and you really can’t go wrong with a classic, fresh-baked croissant, hot out of the oven. My mom didn’t buy a whole lot of Pillsbury when … More Pillsbury, we need to talk
Breakfast foods, as a collective whole in the culinary world, are seriously overlooked, in my own humble opinion.

I acknowledge that the topic of this post is positively arbitrary, but if you’ve been following my blog to any extent whatsoever and have additionally taken stock of the name of my website, random is nothing new around here.

Wonton soup is one of those things that just about anyone I know enjoys.

While it isn’t normally recommended to assume much of anything, I would wager that most of you, like me, crave warm, hearty meals when it’s cold outside. Here in Canada, temperatures have been tremendously ‘Canadian,’ so to speak, with the wind chill allowing temperatures to feel as cold as negative 30 degrees Celsius here in … More Warm up with a White Chicken Chilli Mac Skillet for dinner tonight
Pizza is arguably one of those foods that just about the entire world population enjoys. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say they don’t like pizza, and if I did, I certainly would not tell my husband because the man bleeds pizza. We always joke that if we weren’t married, he would probably start … More Try this the next time you order pizza
Today’s post serves as an extension of yesterday’s – we are discussing beef and its many benefits, and while doing so, are hopefully manipulating enough people into consuming more of it. Manipulation has a negative connotation associated with it, but you know what I’m getting at. At least, I hope so. I can’t really fathom … More Here’s your sign to eat more beef (part two)
Anyone reading this post who knows me personally will likely think that today’s content is a wee bit biased, seeing as I married a beef farmer. This is true to an extent; I’m eating more beef since getting married than I ever did prior, and I’m certainly not mad about it. But, having a beef … More Here’s your sign to eat more beef (part one)
French onion soup positively slaps, and I will die on this hill. I realize that’s a rather assertive way to begin a post, but I’m a blunt person, and I’m not here to waste anyone’s time. I suppose if you despise onions, you arguably wouldn’t be a tremendous fan of French onion soup. I positively … More Let’s make French Onion soup
Stew and I have a somewhat tumultuous past. When I was younger, my mom often made her own version of stew during the winter months, and I positively hated it. I couldn’t even tell you what, exactly, I despised so much about my mother’s stew, and I honestly think I have convinced myself not to … More How about some Country Chicken Stew for dinner tonight?
When I was a child, I was very much under the impression that eating pasta for three meals daily was more than reasonable, arguably because I had an obsession with pasta that could rival the most patriotic of Italians. For context, I’m Hungarian, Dutch and Irish, so I’m not entirely sure where my love for … More Looking to add more fibre to your diet? Consider this pasta
Anytime I stumble across a unique recipe of some sort, I try my best to share it with all of you.

It saddens me to acknowledge that despite my love for spicy foods, I am at a point in my life where eating hot foods is rather difficult.

Oatmeal is arguably something most people have sampled at some point or another in life, or at least have heard of it before.

Allow me to be entirely transparent with you and admit that I am not a fan of pumpkin, nor am I a fan of cheesecake.

I have recently come to the harrowing realization that I am not someone who eats ample amounts of scones. It isn’t at all because I don’t like them, because I certainly do and always have; rather, I just don’t seem to consume them terribly often, so from here forward, I think I will try to … More Let’s make some Apple, Cheddar and Sage Scones
While it isn’t quite yet officially Fall, allow my excitement to pique in advance because it is my favourite season. I have always loved Autumn for different reasons, but one of the biggest reasons is the desserts that are often associated with this time of year. As a side note, I’m not entirely sure who … More How about some Baked Apple Cider French Toast for brunch this weekend?
I think we can all agree that despite our best efforts in the kitchen, meals can become a bit redundant and boring over time. We often slip into a pattern of preparing the same dishes over and over, and while there is nothing wrong with repetition, sometimes we’re seeking out something new and exciting to … More Looking for some dinner inspiration? Look no further
When I saw the title of the recipe I will be sharing with all of you today, my mouth quite literally began watering a little bit. I can’t say that this is something that happens often, because it isn’t, so when this occurred, I knew I had to share this recipe with all of you … More How about some Cinnamon Crunch Swirled Banana Bread?
Going out to eat is something I very much enjoy, yet don’t do as often as I might like.

I went for dinner a few … More Have you been to Sociable Kitchen and Tavern?
I normally designate Sundays as my cleaning day each week. This past Sunday, I ended up doing more cleaning than I initially planned; I spent the majority of the afternoon cleaning various things in the house, and by the time I was finished and saw that the time was already 5:30pm, I quickly realized I … More Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen: yay or nay?
I positively love dumplings. My passion for them may stem from my Eastern European heritage, and I am more than grateful for it; Hungarian food is some of the most comforting food in existence, in my humble opinion, and you can bet your bottom that many of the dishes include dumplings. I mean, could more … More Let’s make Dumpling Soup
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?
It’s no secret that I become borderline feral when it comes to pickles. My preference is dill, and I’m not a huge fan of sweet ones – in my opinion, pickles are meant to be dilly. Not sugary. Anytime I spot something new and exciting in the realm of pickles, I am more than willing … More If you like pickles, read this
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.
