Originally published on October 9, 2015 A soy sauce substitute can be great if you want to know exactly what’s gone into your food, or if you’re looking for a gluten-free option. The night that I made this though, it wasn’t for any of those reasons. I just ran out of soy sauce. And it turns out, a soy […]

Grilled Pork Tenderloin in a Pepsi Barbecue Sauce
Originally published on October 17, 2015 It snowed today. Not a lot, just enough to remind us that the warm weather is truly over for good. Around here we might not need to batten down the hatches, but we do need to pull our barbecue up so that the snowblower can churn up a nice […]
Parmesan Risotto
Originally published on October 18, 2015 Risotto is just one of those things. It’s fussy, it’s finicky, and you probably won’t get it right the first time. But after just a couple attempts at this dish, you’ll become a risotto master and will be churning out this delicious, creamy rice dish. If you want to get risotto just right, remember that it’s all in the […]
Chicken Marsala
Originally published on November 3, 2015 I’ve always wanted to make Chicken Marsala at home, but never remember to buy Marsala wine, a key component in the dish that was named after it. On a recent trip to the liquor store, a bottle caught my eye and I started chatting with the clerk about it. Here are […]
Copycat KD Macaroni and Cheese Spirals
Originally published on November 9, 2015 The girls ate this up as quickly as they do the boxed version, and they regularly balk at homemade macaroni and cheese. When I started making it, I didn’t intend to create a Copycat KD Macaroni and Cheese Spirals, but as I ate it, I became more convinced that I had. […]
Crispy Chicken Thai Wraps
Originally published on December 3, 2015 Crispy chicken Thai wraps are a sandwich we have on the menu at work, and they’re one of our most popular items. When making it at home, it’s a great way to use up leftover chicken fingers and makes for a delicious and quick supper. I’ve kept it exactly the same, with […]
Brown Butter Butternut Squash
Originally published on December 7, 2015 When it came to roasting butternut squash, I used to just chop it up, toss it with some oil and whatever herbs I had on hand, and let it go in the oven. The other day though while grocery shopping, I found some butternut squash all peeled, chopped up, and ready for […]
Turtle Cheesecake
Originally published on December 24, 2015 Traditions are big this time of year and in this house, along with Christmas traditions, we also have birthday traditions. Brent’s birthday is on the 16th and, Turtles being his favourite chocolate, he gets loads of them. We also have the tradition of the cake I make him, and it’s always […]
Hamburger Buns
Originally published on January 4, 2016 Just like any time you bake fresh bread, homemade hamburger buns are so much better than the store-bought kind. Mine came out a bit more like slider buns than they did hamburger buns, but luckily we were having beef on a bun, so size really didn’t matter. And while the sesame seeds aren’t completely necessary, I […]
Best Ever Cinnamon Rolls
Originally published on January 14, 2016 For the past few years, cinnamon rolls have been our traditional Christmas breakfast. Well, except for last year when they completely flopped, sending my mom out in a frantic panic on Christmas Eve to find something suitable for the next morning. That’s why this year, I needed a new recipe. This one […]
