Originally published on February 23, 2014 Popcorn might not be the most sophisticated or gourmet thing you’ll ever make, but I’ll let you in on a little secret. If you buy actual kernels of corn rather than the pre-packaged microwave stuff, you’ll save yourself mega bucks and will be able to flavour the popcorn however you want. […]

Hoagie Rolls
Originally published on February 25, 2014 You can use regular bread dough to make hoagie rolls, but I seriously suggest using a separate recipe such as this one. Not only does it take much less time, but the buns seem to come out softer and fluffier and of course, they have those signature markings across the top. […]
Pasta Al Pangrattato
Originally published on February 27, 2014 Pasta is one of those dishes that doesn’t really need a whole lot of changing up, in my opinion. It’s one of my favourite things to eat, and you can put down a plate in front of me that’s just pasta and sauce and I’d be very, very happy. […]
Onion Rings
Originally published on February 28, 2014 Who doesn’t love onion rings? They’re so good, and this recipe reminds me of some of the best onion rings on the planet – those that come from A&W. Anyone else think the same? Whatever these rings remind you of, they are delicious and pretty easy to make. Ingredients: […]
Carrot Puree Garnish
Originally published on March 1, 2014 Whenever I’ve made a carrot side dish, I’ve typically made only roasted or glazed carrots(with the occasional carrot salad popping up now and then.) But all the purees being shown on the cooking competition shows (think Chopped and MasterChef,) got me thinking about just really mashing them up really fine. I mean, what […]
Cold Oven Roast Beef
Originally published on March 2, 2014 There are all kinds of ways you can make roast beef, but this is one that I find most fascinating – letting it cook in a cold oven. Yes, it does go against everything you know about cooking and yes, you will be nervous for the entire 2+ hours it […]
Chicken Involtini
Originally published on March 4, 2014 This is another one of those recipes that I first saw on MasterChef (MasterChef Canada, to be exact) and knew that it was something I had to try. It sounded so interesting to me, and while I had stuffed chicken breast in this way before, I had no idea that it […]
Veggie Dip
Originally published on March 5, 2014 The thing that scared me the most about doing this reduced-carb thing for the month of March was the fact that I would have to say good-bye to snacking as a whole. But just like everything else, you can still snack – even as much as you want – […]
Ginger Beef
Originally published on March 6, 2014 I love flank steak. In fact, I love it so much that I’m willing to say it’s my favourite type of steak. Yes, I’d even put it over sirloin and rib-eye, particularly when we’re talking about weeknight dinners. I just think it’s that good. And I think a few years […]
Italian Sausage and Peppers
Originally published on March 7, 2014 What’s to say about this classic Italian dish? It’s salty, savoury, and has the tiniest bit of zip from the vinegar you add to the peppers right at the end. Whenever I cook Italian sausages I always boil them first to cook them through, and then grill or saute […]
