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 […]
Spanish Chicken Dinner
Originally published on June 17, 2014 Sometimes you just want to try a dish that comes from somewhere else in the world, even if you don’t know exactly what that dish is. One night, as I was staring at a full roaster chicken, I decided I wanted to go Spanish with it. The only problem? […]
Eggless Mayo
Originally published on June 18, 2014 I truly feel super bad for anyone that can’t eat eggs. I really do think they’re the perfect food, and it’s gotten to the point where my husband even teases me because of my love for them. So when I hear of someone who can’t eat them, my heart […]
Chinese Vegetables
Originally published on June 19, 2014 If you’ve already tried the egg rolls, ginger beef, or chow mein recipes up on the site (or have just seen me post them,) you know I love Chinese food. And even more, I love not paying the big bucks to get it delivered to my home. So when I figured out that […]
