This might upset some people, but I’ve never been a tremendous fan of Doritos. They’re decent in terms of taste, but I’ve never found them to be particularly amazing, and I would rather eat Miss Vickie’s over Doritos any day. My husband, on the other hand, is an absolute feign for Doritos, specifically the Bold … More Doritos Collisions: yay or nay?
When I was a child, I was absolutely under the impression that French onion soup originated from the Devil himself. Both of my parents enjoyed it, and still do, and they would often eat it at lunchtime; I had convinced myself it was the most repulsive thing my eyes had ever seen and, therefore, never … More Let’s make French onion soup
As I sit here writing this post, I have dinner for my husband and I cooking. I ended up getting home later today than usual because we had a crop of chickens go out, so my dad, uncle and I were at the barn, cleaning out all the manure. My dad and uncle typically run … More Let’s make some Cowboy Casserole
I love pierogies. Considering my European background, I think I would be a disgrace to my ancestors if I did not appreciate the common pierogi, and while I’ve never made them from scratch myself, I do purchase them, frozen, from a local Dutch marketplace. It blows my mind to acknowledge how many people out there … More Let’s hear it for Pierogi Casserole
Continuing with our conversation that began yesterday regarding common misperceptions and myths that exist in the exercise realm, I thought I would share a personal experience before we get into the nitty-gritty. When I was in high school, I was, I suppose you could say, at my peak in terms of athleticism. I was heavily … More Myth versus fact: fitness edition (part two)
The inspiration behind today’s post stems from me writing this as I cook dinner for myself and my husband. We are having breakfast for dinner, something we both tremendously enjoy, as do many people; I really do not understand why we associate such delicious foods with strictly breakfast when they can easily be enjoyed at … More Craving breakfast food? How about some pancake tacos with eggs and bacon?
To my knowledge, the presence of Denny’s restaurant chains here in Canada is lull when compared to its presence in the U.S. The first and only Denny’s I ever went to, up until quite recently, was in Buffalo, New York, and that was probably over ten years ago. I’m not exactly sure when it opened, … More When was the last time you went to Denny’s?
From time to time I do myself a solid and explore convenience stores in search of new and exciting takes on the common chocolate bar. Is this a bit of a niche, if not, a bizarre hobby? Perhaps. But, I will say that I have collected a handful of chocolate bar special editions over the … More Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup … lava cake?!
There is a definite probability that some of you read the title of today’s post and rendered its subject content completely and utterly useless. If so, I can’t entirely say I blame you; is today’s topic of utmost importance in the grand scheme of things? Hell, no. Call me odd, but I’ve always been curious … More What is your go-to Tim Horton’s order?
I believe I have mentioned before that I like to reference Buzzfeed articles from time to time in an attempt to keep up with what are, supposedly, unbelievably great products. I’ve managed to collect a few items over the years from these sorts of articles that have proven to be excellent purchases, hence why I … More If you like spice, you need this oil
Without upsetting too many Italians, allow me to state that I consider pizza to be one of the most versatile food creations in existence. Aside from the classics, for example, pepperoni, Canadian, and Margherita, to name a few, you really can get quite creative with your pizza toppings, and I think it’s great that pizza … More Mexican … pizza?
I have grown to appreciate sandwiches on a significantly higher level compared to when I was younger. I’m not exactly certain as to why, but I wasn’t the biggest fan of them when I was a kid; don’t get me wrong, I ate them and enjoyed them, too. Now, however, I find myself wanting to … More Switch up your typical sandwiches with a some BLT Waffle Sliders
I have come to realize that I am somewhat peculiar in terms of my snacking preferences. At least, I think so; in the evening, before I go to bed, I like to enjoy a wee snacky snack, and I look forward to it daily. However, the reason I say my snacking tendencies are a little … More Craving a snack that checks all the boxes? Read this
Upon doing a Google search to find some lovely Christmas-inspired recipes to share with all of you, I have to say I was a bit disappointed. So many of the recipes marketed as being ‘Christmasy’ are anything but, including the one I will share with you today. I have no clue what constitutes Four Cheese … More Let’s make four-cheese sausage rigatoni
If I am correct in my recollection, I believe charcuterie boards exploded onto the food scene during or shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic. Granted, charcuterie boards have been around the block a time or two, and they certainly are not new in terms of their construct; they serve as a fantastic appetizer or meal option … More Christmas … charcuterie boards?
While grocery shopping a few days ago, I made my way to the condiments aisle because I needed to replenish my ketchup stock. I am a feign for ketchup, and have been since I was child; I know there are plenty of people out there who find ketchup positively revolting, but I do not, and … More Pickle ketchup: a killer combination
While the production line has finally ceased, my mom and sister have been hard at work over the last couple of weeks making homemade tomato sauce, using tomatoes from my sister’s garden. When myself and my cousins were smaller, my dad’s side of the family would come together to make tomato sauce, but once we … More Here’s how to make the best homemade tomato sauce
Each and every time I hear carbonara, I think of my dad, without fail. My dad is not a huge pasta lover, but he has always thoroughly enjoyed carbonara; when we went to Italy as a family a few years back, he took advantage of the carbonara (who can blame him?), and despite attempting to … More Carbonara … pizza?
I consider grilled cheese, as a meal, to equate to macaroni and cheese, as a meal, when you’re in your adult years. I’m not exactly sure why, but it seems as though social norms have encouraged us to associate specific foods and dishes with childhood, and I’m simply not a fan; there is absolutely no … More How do you like your grilled cheese?
Allow me to admit that the title I’ve come up with for this particular recipe may not have the most allure, but please believe me when I say I was attempting to go for a name that is as realistic and descriptive as possible. I don’t think things are going to get any better in … More Let’s make Lauren’s Cheesy Beef Fries
This past Sunday, my parents graciously took Blaine and me out for a lovely dinner. Before getting married, and when the economy was a little better, my family and I would go for dinner almost every weekend. I’ve grown to miss it quite a bit since moving out, so any opportunity I have to go … More Have you been to Crazy Canuck Smokehouse in Brantford?
I’ve said it before and I will say it again; regardless of how much preparation you undertake prior to visiting Costco, you will always end up grabbing items you were not planning on getting. You don’t go to Costco with a list – Costco provides you with your list. Or, rather, you don’t tell Costco … More Lucky Charms Pillsbury Soft Baked Cookies: yay or nay?
Egg rolls are a common fan favourite in the realm of Americanized Chinese food. The Chinese food we savour and enjoy here in North America is not authentic Chinese cuisine, hence why I like to say it’s been Americanized; despite the fact the version we relish does not consist of true Chinese dishes and creations, … More Egg roll … bowls?
I believe I had my first skillet experience when I was about 10 years of age. My family and I were vacationing in the States; when my sister and I were younger, our family would make occasional trips to Buffalo for the weekend to do some shopping back when the dollar exchange wasn’t so heinous. … More Let’s make a Creamy Chicken and Corn Skillet
Living in the country is truly wonderful. It’s far quieter and more private than living in a city or residential area, and the views are unmatched. I wouldn’t trade living in a rural area for anything, and there are certainly more pros to it than there are cons. One negative to living in the country … More Uber Eats in rural areas: yes or no?
I would like to begin this post by offering my sincerest apologies to any of my readers who may be of Italian descent. It is highly probable you read the title of today’s post and experienced true anguish, and for this, I apologize; pizza is not something that is typically prepared in an air fryer, … More Air fryer … pizza?
Without providing you with much context, a couple of evenings ago, I found myself perusing the internet looking for some sort of dinner experience. Not catering in the traditional sense we all know and understand, but rather, something a little different to spice things up. Is there a particular reason why I was seeking out … More Looking for a creative twist on your typical dinner party? Read this
Hamburgers are one of my favourite foods to enjoy in the summertime, as they are for many people. I don’t know what it is about biting into a tasty, juicy burger on a warm summer evening, but that shit slaps, and while burgers are also delicious in the winter months, they’re always better on a … More How about some Smash Burger Tacos for dinner tonight?
When I was first made aware that Tim Horton’s would be offering pizza as an addition to their menu, I wasn’t entirely sure what to think. To be honest, I figured they probably wouldn’t be terrific, seeing as Tim’s is mainly recognized for their coffee, donuts and sandwiches, but I try not to judge and … More Tim Horton’s pizza: yay or nay?
I wager if I were to ask people if they prefer brownies or blondies they would more than likely answer brownies, and rightly so; brownies are positively scrumptious, when prepared correctly, and there really is nothing like biting into a chewy yet soft chocolatey delight. On the other hand, however, blondies are also excellent. Quite … More Move over, brownies; it’s a blondie summer
