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?
Anytime I dedicate a blog post to a recipe, you can count on two things: the first being that I wasn’t able to come up with a somewhat interesting topic to write about, so I therefore resorted to sharing a recipe; the second being that I try my best to at least share recipes that … More How about some Skier’s Skillet for breakfast?
It isn’t too often that I manage to compose a personal recipe, but every now and then I surprise myself and do just that. Are my recipes of the same quality as those you might find on a food blog online? No, but that’s okay with me, seeing as I am not here trying to … More Make this for a quick and simple dinner tonight
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. To spare you all from some unnecessarily vivid details, allow me to say that while my taste buds still absolutely appreciate spice, my digestive system does not, and … More JalapeƱo popper … soup?
Most people don’t tend to associate lemons with soup, and understandably so; when we think of soup, we normally conjure images in our minds of certain types and flavours, some common ones being chicken noodle, potato leek and tomato. Lemons are not something that immediately comes to mind, to say the least. But, as odd … More Feeling chilly? Warm up with a bowl of Avgolemono
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 have been feral for pasta from a very young age. To my knowledge, most kids are fans of pasta, but my love for it did not at all cease, and I’m still bonkers for it in my adulthood. It got to a point in our home when I was a child that my mom … More Let’s make homemade pasta
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?
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. I don’t yet have children of my own, but with the farm and rugby, trying to find … More Here’s how to make some easy Sausage and Rice Bowls
I have always found it rather interesting that there are plenty of people out there who are not a fan of Caesar salad, but are avid fans of Caesar wraps, sandwiches, etc. If you enjoy the taste of Caesar salad in wrap or sandwich form, there is a very strong probability you will also enjoy … More How about some Chicken Caesar Baguettes for lunch or dinner?
If you aren’t a fan of shrimp, or shellfish, for that matter, I do apologize in advance for the fact this post won’t hold much relevance or interest to you. But, for those of us who do enjoy shrimp, buckle up, my friends, because this recipe is a friggen winner. I love shrimp, and I … More How about a Shrimp Street Corn Skillet for dinner tonight?
Eggs are, in my own humble opinion, a vastly underappreciated food. Not only are they considered staple ingredients in all sorts of baked goods and dishes, but there are a hell of a lot of different ways you can eat a plain egg. Whether your preference is scrambled, over-easy, poached or hard/soft boiled, eggs are … More Hungry? Some Folded Breakfast Enchiladas might help
A lot of people pull their noses up towards the idea of consuming a hot dog, and while I can understand why, to some extent, I can’t say I comprehend their leeriness entirely. Sure, if you happen to watch a video about how hot dogs are made, or perhaps do an extensive look at the … More Move over, hot dogs; Pretzel Dogs are here to stay
I’m a sucker for bowls, and I’m a sucker for anything cheeseburger-flavoured. So, when I spotted a recipe for Cheeseburger Bowls from thepioneerwoman.com, I knew I had to share. My husband brought to my attention how I often create bowls out of whatever we are having for dinner on a particular evening; I didn’t even … More Hopw about some Cheeseburger Bowls for dinner tonight?
Salads have earned themselves a somewhat shitty reputation in the culinary world, and the general lack of appreciation towards them angers me a wee bit, as preposterous as that sounds. I think most people, when they hear the word ‘salad,’ automatically think of lettuce and some shit dressing. If that is the sort of salad … More How about some Jalapeno Popper Corn Salad for your next potluck?
My sister is a hell of a cook, and I am fortunate enough to often sample her creations. She is an absolute gem in the sense that whenever she makes something new and exciting for herself and my parents, she always makes extra for Blaine and me. Last weekend she tried her hand at homemade … More Let’s make homemade Big Mac Crunchwraps
While my background isn’t Polish, it is European, therefore, I have certainly familiarized myself with the joyous creations known as pierogis. Bizarrely, when I was a child, I wasn’t a huge fan of them. Thankfully, I grew up a bit, as did my palate, and while Blaine isn’t the biggest fan of them, I enjoy … More Let’s hear it for pierogis
I was inspired to share a recipe with all of you for today’s post, with the inspiration stemming from a complete and utter lack of functioning brainwaves on my behalf. I think I’m having a Lyme flare-up with the shit weather we have been having here in Southern Ontario (cool and rainy), and despite my … More Let’s make an Amish Breakfast Casserole
My husband’s birthday and my own are a mere four days apart, so we always celebrate them together. We are having a dinner with my parents, sister and grandmother to celebrate, and upon being asked where Blaine and I would like to order our birthday dinner from, we picked a restaurant that prepares one of … More Let’s make a “Killer Club Sandwich”
The ingredients you incorporate into your rub can quite honestly make or break the cut of meat in question when it comes to steak. Even worse is going without a rub entirely, and in my own humble opinion, preparing any type of meat without seasoning is a crime against humanity. I’m fortunate to have been … More What is your go-to steak rub?
When I was a child, I was absolutely under the impression that calzones were the best-tasting food in existence. I had one and was immediately hooked, and while I’ve grown and matured a bit since this occurrence, I still think calzones are fucking fire, and they’re a common comfort food favourite. I’ve never tried making … More How about some homemade calzones for dinner tonight?
I realized I haven’t shared a recipe here on my blog for a little while, so I figured one is due. I try my best to choose recipes I think would please most people, as opposed to something very specific that requires a tailored palate, and I figure pasta is one that normally appeals to … More How about some Cheesy Beef Pasta for dinner tonight?
This could just be my own personal observation, but does anyone else feel as though finding a new and creative recipe on the internet nowadays is rather challenging? There are millions of recipes available, yes, but so many of them are redundant and boring, and, personally, I like a little bit of creativity when it … More How about a Chicken & Cheese Tortilla Pie for dinner tonight?
My mom, sister and I recently had a conversation about fish. Both my sister and I eat fish with Tartar sauce, however, my mother does not, and neither does my husband, Blaine. In Blaine’s defence, he has never really been a sauce guy. He prefers plain and, in my own humble opinion, boring, but who … More Here’s how to make your own Tartar sauce
If there are two things in this world my husband loves more than me, I am inclined to believe they would be hot dogs and pizza. I swear that Blaine could eat pizza daily for the rest of his life and never tire of it, and hot dogs are a close second. I should stipulate, … More Pizza … hot dogs?
I started to make dinner before I sat down to write this post, and one of the things I am currently cooking as I simultaneously write this is smoked cheddar sausage. I should arguably clarify that I am personally not cooking the sausage; my air fryer is. Blaine and I love smoked sausage, and we … More How about a Smoked Sausage Skillet for dinner tonight?
I have yet to meet a dumpling I don’t like. I must inherit my appreciation for Asian cuisine from my dad, because he, too, is a dumpling feign; he and I are the only ones in our family who enjoy sushi, so every now and then we have a little dinner date together. It isn’t … More How about some Dumpling Soup for dinner tonight?
Within the past few months, I’ve made a personal effort to consume more protein. It isn’t at all a matter of me not enjoying protein, because I’m a meat feign; rather, because I have increased my physical activity and another rugby season is approaching, I figure it might do me some good to build up … More Let’s make protein pancakes
