It’s still very much the middle of winter here, but that doesn’t mean we can’t talk about burgers. At least, burgers that are made in the great INdoors! Even in the summer, when barbecue season is in full delicious swing, I sometimes make these burgers or similar ones inside. I staunchly refuse to learn to […]
Ultimate Beef Wellington
Herein lies the most expensive post you will likely ever find on this ol’ blog: Beef Wellington. To someone who generally considers $3-$4 absolutely plenty to spend on meat for a meal to serve a family of 5 (one baby vegetarian, so more like a family of 4), forking over $40 for meat to serve […]
Ravioli & Sausage Lasagna
Have you been watching any Olympics? I hate the feeling of having the TV on during the day, but I can’t help but love the feats of strength and skill on constant display. I just sit there and exclaim about the LEGS, the ARMS, the CORE STRENGTH! The ski jumpers who can basically lay parallel […]
Taco Lasagna
I’ve been holding out on you with a super easy dinner recipe you’re going to want to add to your plans this week. I apologize for this blogging negligence, and offer you a taco lasagna peace offering. No more secrets here. The first time I made this I had some friends coming over and it […]
A Canadian Love Affair: Seafood Chowder Recipe
This post is part of the Canadian Food Experience Project, a project begun June 2013. As we (participants) share our collective stories through our regional food experiences and food memories, we hope to bring global clarity to our Canadian culinary identity. This month’s topic is “A Canadian Love Affair”, which can apply to absolutely anything we love […]
Baked Ham & White Bean Taquitos
I come from a land of sun and rain and moderate temperatures, and I have to admit that the sojourn at my parents’ home in far-from-temperate Ontario is kicking my butt a little. We all have dry, chapped skin and a bad case of the whines when the snow blows into our faces at so […]
Barbecue Chicken Melts
This is as easy as it gets. Call yourself a seasoned cook or call yourself a kitchen disaster, there is no way in anywhere I’ve heard of that you can go wrong here. This is how I use up extra buns when they’re not quite fresh enough, how I use up leftover chicken that I […]
Honey Garlic Chicken Stirfry
It’s been 5 days since my wisdom teeth came out, and I have to say it was anti-climactic. I’m sure a lot of the credit for that goes to my fantastic dental surgeon, but my preparations for several days holed up in bed certainly did not come to fruition. I should have known my control […]
A Canadian Christmas Tradition: Tourtière Recipe
It’s Saturday, but we’re not talking sweets today – if you need a sweet fix, check out the recent Chocolate Pomegranate Bark or less recent Forget Me Cookies – both are close to my sweet-loving heart :) Today’s savoury recipe is a part of the Canadian Food Experience Project, a movement spearheaded by the most […]
Taco Taquitos
Ooops. Somehow I wrote about these taco taquitos a couple months ago and then forgot to hit “publish” and alas, there they have sat, lost in drafts, until their recent rediscovery! Maybe I should go through that folder more often…there are some other gems hovering in there waiting for their moment to shine. :) Well, […]
