While I don’t believe I have ever met anyone who claims they are not a fan of nachos, allow me to assert that unless you have had some sort of terrible experience with this dish, I genuinely cannot think of a single, viable reason as to why someone wouldn’t like them. You almost can’t go … More Waffle … nachos?
While temperatures here in Southern Ontario still aren’t exactly where they should be in terms of warmth, we are slowly getting there.

Before anyone jumps down my throat in an attempt to berate me about eating chocolate bars, which, as most of us are aware, contain a plethora of shit that should arguably not be classified as food, allow me to state that balance is key.

While I can’t specifically pinpoint when a BarBurrito establishment graced us Brant County residents with its presence, I know it’s been a few years.

I have never been a tremendous fan of stew, in any capacity. Feel free to ask my mother if you don’t believe me; growing up, whenever my mom made her homemade stew, I would do everything in my ability to make my disdain for said stew known, much to my poor mom’s dismay. Did my … More How about some hamburger stew for dinner tonight?
Eggs, for some unbeknownst reason, fail to receive the recognition I figure they’re more than deserving of. I’m not entirely sure why they sort of seem to be frowned upon by so many, and, honestly, good riddance to anyone who does judge eggs – we don’t need that sort of negativity in our lives. I … More Can we take a moment to appreciate eggs?
While I can’t exactly pinpoint what it is, specifically, that I enjoy so much about jalapeno poppers, believe me when I tell you that I am borderline feral for these bad boys. They’re insanely delicious, assuming you’re using a proper recipe and the usual ingredients, and their combination of cheese and spice from the peppers … More Let’s make homemade jalapeno poppers
Chicken is almost always a safe bet in the context of protein for even the pickiest of eaters.

If you factor this in with … More Let’s make Baked Crunchy Hot Honey Chicken for dinner
Electrolytes are arguably a component of your life if you live a relatively active lifestyle. If you do lead an active and busy life and you don’t use electrolytes, consider this post as a gentle, suggestive sign that perhaps you should.

I think it would be reasonably safe to assume that when most of us think of McDonald’s, cookies are not exactly the first thing to come to mind. McDonald’s is known for its fast food, arguably most for its hamburgers and chicken nuggets, so it makes sense that baked goods aren’t usually the first items … More McDonald’s cookies: yay or nay?
Rice pudding, for bizarre reasons unknown to me, seems to be the recipient of a lot of criticism in the dessert world.

A few evenings ago, Blaine and I ventured out of our humble abode to go for dinner together. It is something we don’t do nearly as often as we should, but we try our best.

Furthermore, because the recipe I am sharing with you today is for Blueberry Muffin … More How about some Blueberry Muffin Cookies for a breakfast switch-up?
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
