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
I have no shame in admitting my love for chicken nuggets. Will I be a 30-year-old woman this May? Yes. Are chicken nuggets commonly associated with children? Yes. But, despite this belief that adults cannot dabble in the pleasure of what is chicken nuggets, I gladly challenge the stigma and will savour and enjoy a … More Here’s how to make the Best Crispy Baked Chicken Nuggets
I swear I was Italian in a past life because my love for pasta borders on infatuation. I could quite literally eat pasta for each meal every day and not tire of it, and I doubt I’m the only one who can say this with confidence. Not only is pasta positively delicious, but it is … More How about some White Wine-Garlic Pasta with Scallops for diner tonight?
Today’s post was inspired by one of my best friends. She is currently at an agricultural conference in the U.S. and has been documenting her food experiences with me via Snapchat.

When I sat down to write today’s post and paused for some creative inspiration, my stomach provided me with a response in the form of a solid grumble.

Croque Monsieurs hold a special place in my heart, although, the sentimentality of them is a little odd. My Oma absolutely loved Croque Monsieurs, so that component of the relation is a bit more acceptable. The other reason why Croque Monsieurs are special to me is because there is a reference to them in an … More Craving a sandwich? How about a Croque Monsieur?
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 am a breakfast food feign. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, louder, for the people in the back; breakfast foods can be enjoyed at any given point throughout the day, not strictly between the hours of 6 and 10am. Breakfast foods are far too tasty to be limited to one meal … More Let’s make Lauren’s breakfast bowls
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
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?
I have concocted a dish that both myself and Blaine thoroughly enjoy for dinner, although it could easily be served for lunch, too. The dish in question doesn’t exactly have a name, but if I were to conjure one off the top of my head, I suppose Sasuage and Rice would do it. Not terribly … More How about a Cajun Sausage and Rice Skillet for dinner tonight?
I’m not entirely sure what the reason behind a lack of representation regarding shrimp tacos across most restaurant menus is, but I am here to voice my opinion on the matter and assert that the general public would like to see more readily available shrimp tacos on any given restaurant menu. I hope you don’t … More Let’s make some shrimp tacos
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
When it comes to chilli, most people have the image of a warm, rich, red and savoury version that comes to mind, and understandably so; chilli, oftentimes, does meet these credentials, and it is this particular version of chilli we tend to associate with the name itself. There are other types of chilli in existence, … More Let’s make White Chilli
Chicken pot pie is a comfort food for a lot of people, and understandably so; I enjoy it, and while I wouldn’t say it is my favourite or my go-to, on occasion, a chicken pot pie absolutely slaps, and I have to say Swiss Chalet’s is rather scrumptious. I went through a phase during which … More Let’s make Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Beans, for a reason unbeknownst to me, are often on the receiving end of a lot of scrutiny. I struggle to comprehend this blatant bean bullying (how’s that for some alliteraiton?) considering beans are extremely inexpensive, nutritious and filling, but I figure people who write them off without giving them a fair chance don’t deserve … More Let’s make Cowboy Beans
While grocery shopping a few days ago, my eyes spotted an item that I normally likely would not buy. The item in question was pizza spring rolls; the only reason I even glanced in their direction was because they were on sale, and upon further inspection, and recognizing a great price, I deemed them consumable … More Have you had Pizza Spring Rolls?
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?
Pumpkin is not something I am the biggest fan of regarding taste; I love pumpkins themselves as decoration and such, but when it comes to consuming it, I’ve never loved it. Whether it be pumpkin soup or pumpkin pie, it just doesn’t do much for me, and I would much rather savour some mashed potatoes … More Let’s make Pumpkin Pasta
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
More often than not, I find myself scrambling to figure out what to make for dinner and get it on the table for me and my husband. It’s difficult to attempt to allot enough time to cook when two adults in one home both work full-time, so occasionally, my meals are not as elaborate as … More Looking for a simple dinner recipe?

I honestly feel as though cottage cheese is the recipient of a lot of unwarranted flack. I’m not entirely sure why, but the majority of people seem to be repulsed by the stuff and would rather stomach rancid lunchmeat. You’re quite welcome for that gnarly visual. I wouldn’t say I’m cottage cheese’s number one fan, … More Cottage cheese … pancakes?
Upon contemplating whether or not I have ever encountered someone who is not a fan of Alfredo pasta of some variation, I came to the realization I haven’t, and for good reason; Alfredo is one of those things that most of us can unanimously agree is delicious, and from childhood through to adulthood, it always … More Let’s make Chicken Alfredo
I may shock some people with this information, but I have never had a Crunchwrap from Taco Bell. It is not at all a matter of not liking Taco Bell, or being unwilling to try a Crunchwrap; rather, when it comes to fast food, McDonald’s is usually my go-to, so I couldn’t even tell you … More When two worlds collide: let’s make Big Mac Crunchwraps
