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, […]

How to Barbecue Your Bacon
Originally published on June 10, 2014 Who doesn’t love bacon? I don’t know many who don’t.

While you can still throw it into a […]
Montreal Steak Spice (Wet Marinade and Dry Rub)

Cheryle’s Guacamole
Originally published on June 14, 2014 My mom is a proud member of the Stamford Lioness in Niagara Falls. There are many benefits to being part of such a great club, but aside from the biggest ones (you know,like being part of the community and serving others) she also gets to meet a lot of really great […]
How to Keep Your Guacamole Green
Originally published on June 14, 2014 I love guacamole. A lot. But I have a problem. Every time I make it, I can’t eat it all at once and I put it in the fridge. But an awful, awful thing can happen to guac when it’s put in the fridge. Air gets to it. It oxidizes. And that beautiful […]
