For anyone who read the title of today’s post and thought to themselves: chicken parmesan is already wonderful, why does it require an upgrade? – fair enough, honestly. Chicken parmesan is considered to be a comfort food dish for good reason, and to be completely candid, I don’t necessarily think it needs anything more added … More Here’s how to upgrade your chicken parmesan
I mentioned in a post a couple of days ago that for Blaine’s family Christmas gathering, one of the items I was asked to contribute was a dessert of some sort. I wasn’t entirely sure what dessert specifically I was going to bring, but I did manage to narrow it down to cookies of some … More Here’s how to make some s’mores cookies
For our Christmas gathering this year with my husband’s family, I have been asked to bring two things. The first is a cheese platter, which is easy enough, and the second is some sort of dessert. The criteria pertaining to what sort of dessert I will be bringing specifically remains undisclosed, and I’ve been trying … More Let’s make Christmas sugar cookies
I’ve never actually made beef Wellington, but I have sampled it. I realize that doesn’t do this particular post any justice seeing as it is a recipe post, and I’m not going to pretend that I have, in fact, used this recipe to compose a Beef Wellington. But, I suppose my intention is to encourage … More Let’s make Beef Wellington
When I stumbled across the recipe for Bacon Pickle Pizza, I was immediately intrigued. I love pickles, specifically dill, and furthermore, I can appreciate recipes that incorporate dill pickle flavour into non-traditional dill pickle dishes. Oftentimes you’ll see recipes for dill pickle dips, which is fine and dandy, but when a recipe including dill pickle … More Let’s make bacon pickle pizza
I’m not a huge potato chip eater. My mom never really bought chips nor kept them in the house when my sister and I were growing up, much to my dad’s dismay, and I think an absence of them has allowed me to carry on through life without giving much thought to them. I like … More Love Fritos? Make this recipe tonight
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
Sometimes, late at night, if I can’t sleep, I’ll hit up Pinterest for some new and enticing recipes. If one is having difficulty falling asleep, is using a smartphone the best idea? Absolutely not, and I am aware of that, but thank you in advance, Becky. Moving on. For whatever bizarre reason, scrolling through Pinterest … More Let’s make garlic butter pasta
While I haven’t had oatmeal in a hot minute, I did, for a while, eat it every day for breakfast. I would always make mine with milk, or water, depending on the day, and enjoyed adding cinnamon, banana and brown sugar. I follow Camilla Lorentzen on Instagram, and her wife as well. The two of … More Do you cook your oatmeal with an egg? (hint, apparently you should)
I couldn’t even tell you the last time I had coffee cake, but, for whatever reason, when I was brainstorming some recipe ideas for today’s post, coffee cake was one of the first things that came to mind. I figure this is my subconscious attempting me to remind me of just how long it’s been … More Let’s make coffee cake
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
Blaine and I are both under the weather right now. He has a head cold as well as a sore throat, and based on how seriously shitty I am feeling, I suspect I might have some variation of a flu bug, but I’m not certain. Given how awful I’m feeling, cooking is not something I’ve … More Make this for dinner tonight
When I sat down to write today’s blog entry, I once again found myself staring at a blank page, cursor blinking, trying to force some neurons to fire and formulate a riveting topic for today’s post. I don’t know about riveting, but I considered I hadn’t shared a recipe in a few days, so I … More Let’s make taco spaghetti
Soup, as a meal, seems to be met, oftentimes, with scrutiny. I really cannot understand why, personally; I fucking love soup, and depending on the type, soup can absolutely serve as an entire meal. However, there are plenty of people who would disagree with me and my stance toward soup, arguing it isn’t filling and … More Let’s make chicken noodle soup
I will refrain from referring to my own recipe for cheesy noodles as mac and cheese, and for good reason; firstly, I’m not entirely sure as to how one goes about certifying a recipe; secondly, I do think there is a difference between cheesy noodles and mac and cheese, the main differentiating factor being mac … More Here’s how to make some tasty cheesy noodles
A few days ago, my dad’s side of the family got together for a lovely dinner to celebrate my Nagymama’s (grandmother, in Hungarian) birthday. We tend to celebrate her birthday with the entire family every year, and this year was no exception. We went to Devlin’s Country Bistro in Mount Pleasant and enjoyed a tremendous … More Let’s make pecan pie
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
Onion rings are the shit, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar. I realize those are fighting words to start off a post, but now that I have your attention, let’s chat about these delightful things commonly known as onion rings. They’re nothing fancy or special, but they’re tasty as hell, and homemade ones … More Let’s make homemade onion rings
For anyone unfamiliar with the term breakfast bowl, not to fret; I’m not even necessarily sure this term exists, but it does now thanks to my own ingenuity. A breakfast bowl is similar to a burrito bowl, but instead of containing ingredients commonly found within burritos, a breakfast bowl contains ingredients and food commonly associated … More Here’s how to make a breakfast bowl
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
I caught wind of using vanilla extract as bug repellent a little while ago, and to be honest, I had a hard time believing it. Vanilla is arguably my favourite scent in existence, and considering it smells so sweet and lovely, I wouldn’t think it would be something that would be effective in keeping insects … More Using vanilla extract as … bug repellent?
This past weekend I attended a function involving my dad’s family. It was nice to see my cousins again; now that we’re older and growing up and whatnot, we don’t see each other as often as we once did. We all enjoyed a barbecue and some dessert, and one dessert option was a lovely blueberry … More Here is how to make some scrumptious blueberry cake
Fish tacos, when prepared correctly, absolutely slap, in my own humble opinion. My use of the word slap, in this case, is to indicate excellence. It’s a term the young kids are using these days. I fucking adore fish tacos, and I order them just about any time I spot them on a menu in … More Here’s how to make homemade fish tacos
If you happened to read the title of today’s post aloud, in the presence of others, and someone countered your exclamation with bless you, I would not be surprised. KürtÅ‘skalács isn’t exactly the most common word, and furthermore, I imagine it is one most folks aren’t entirely familiar with. Referencing onesweetharmony.com, KürtÅ‘skalács is the Hungarian … More Here is how to make KürtÅ‘skalács
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
This past weekend, I had my mom, dad and sister come over for dinner at mine and Blaine’s home for Father’s Day. I’ve been slacking in the hosting department in the context of having my immediate family over to our home for some meals, so I figured Father’s Day would be a fitting opportunity. I … More Hosting a dinner? Make this
If you think the topic of today’s post is rather arbitrary, I have two things to say to you; the first is that randomness regarding topic selection is an integral component of my blog, and secondly, I do have some context to provide as to what prompted me to pick how to make butter for … More Here’s how to make homemade butter
I fucking love bread, as most people do, and anyone who says they’re not a fan is a damn liar. How can any sane person not enjoy soft, warm, fluffy bread? I really don’t know. Bread is one of those things that pair with quite literally anything. Chilli? Bread. Soup? Bread. Salad? Bread. Pasta? Bread. … More Here’s how to make some delicious homemade bread
