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 […]
Montreal Steak Spice (Wet Marinade and Dry Rub)
Originally published on June 11, 2014 Montreal steak spice is one of our favourite things to smear or shake onto any steak before it goes onto the grill. But it is super expensive! If you love it as much as we do, save your money and – just like anything else – start making it at home. […]
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 […]
Pico de Gallo
Originally published on June 15, 2014 I love salsa, and that’s really all Pico de Gallo is. It hails from Mexico and so naturally it goes really well with tacos, guacamole, tortillas, and really any time you pull out some chips. It’s super easy to make too and, while I like things spicy and leave the entire jalapeno […]
Radish Greens
Originally published on June 16, 2014 Here’s another great reason to go to the Farmer’s Market this summer – you’ll get to keep parts of the vegetables that typically get tossed by the grocery store. And why do grocery stores throw out these delectable bites, instead of letting you take them home and add them […]
