Asian Dogs

Originally published on May 29, 2014 The best part of a picnic is when someone drags out the old Hibachi or other portable grill and grills up, well, anything. But of all things that can be grilled, hot dogs are surely some of the best. These are typical dogs that you’d find at just about any picnic, with a […]

Oven S’mores

Originally published on May 30, 2014 Egg salad sandwiches, deviled eggs, and chicken salad sandwiches are all great for picnics, but what about when it comes time for dessert? When it comes to satisfy your sweet tooth at a picnic, there’s only one option – s’mores! But what if you’re picnicking in an area that doesn’t have a fire […]

Jennie’s Peanut Dip

Originally published on May 31, 2014 When my mother-in-law, Jennie, handed me a tub of beige dip, I have to admit, I thought it was hummus. Then she told me that it was actually something much more unique than that – it was a dip, made out of cashews. After tasting it, I knew I had […]

Red Eye Steak with Chimichurri

Originally published on June 4, 2014 Steak is one of my favourite foods, and chimichurri is one of my favourite sauces. Put them together, and you have a thing of magic. This whole entire meal is really good, and comes together in under 20 minutes (minus the marinating time.) I’m not kidding. Put the rice on before you […]

Braised Red Cabbage

Originally published on June 6, 2014 When we think of cabbage as a side dish, too often we limit ourselves to just coleslaw. But there’s a lot you can do with this cruciferous vegetable, and braised red cabbage is one of the prettiest side dishes of all. I’ve kept it pretty basic this time, but you can add nearly anything […]

Cobb Salad

Originally published on June 7, 2014 Recently I took a trip to my hometown of Niagara-On-The-Lake and while there, my mom and I got talking about Cobb salad one day. We discussed the things that typically went into it, as well as how it got its name. Ever since that conversation, I’ve been thinking about the Cobb, […]

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Originally published on June 8, 2014 I ate a lot of pie growing up. My grandma is sort of a genius when it comes to pastry. I can still vividly remember walking into her house on a Sunday afternoon and being hit with the aroma of that delicious combination of flaky pie crust, and a filling you […]

How to Barbecue Your Bacon

Originally published on June 10, 2014 Who doesn’t love bacon? I don’t know many who don’t. Even I, who would prefer to see sausages alongside her eggs rather than bacon, still have a soft spot for this fatty cured meat. But just like all food, the world of bacon is evolving. While you can still throw it into a […]
