Originally published on June 18, 2016 Copycat recipes are some of my favourite kinds. You get to play around in your kitchen trying to get that dish to taste *just* right, and once you do, well, there’s a certain feeling of accomplishment that will have you strutting around like a superhero for a little while. I really thought copycat recipes couldn’t […]

Grilled Chicken Legs with Beer Marinade
Originally published on June 21, 2016 Here in Ontario, Canada it has been hot for the past few days. I mean it’s been stifling, sweaty, don’t-you-dare-turn-on-that-oven kind of hot. So when we’ve absolutely had to eat, everything has gone outside to get cooked on the grill. After just a couple of meals, barbecue sauce can quickly become overplayed, so when I need something a […]
Grilled Potato Wedges
Originally published on June 24, 2016 It’s no secret that hot summer days are perfect for grilling. And it’s also no secret that on those days, I try to take everything out to the barbecue. Meats, starches, sides, it all goes on the grill. But what do you do when you just know potato wedges would be […]
Easy and Affordable Beef on a Bun
Originally published on June 30, 2016 Beef on a bun is one of my favourites whenever I find myself at a fair or carnival this time of year. I like getting it there because to make it at home with all of that pricey roast beef, is more than I’d like to spend on a weekday dinner. […]
Good Old Fashioned Fried Chicken!
Originally published on July 20, 2016 I’ve made fried chicken several times and it’s always hit or miss. Will it turn out? Won’t it? Who knows, because I’ve had a different result each and every time! Luckily, I’ve learned a few things from both my hits and misses, and now I believe I know what those are. Other than […]
Butternut Squash Macaroni and Cheese
Originally published on July 21, 2016 I’ve tried several different versions of homemade macaroni and cheese before. Each time, no matter what I do it seems, I get the same result. My kids push it around their plate, and hold the noodles up to the light like they’ve never seen noodles before. Seriously, I think I might […]
Red Wine Reduction Sauce
Originally published on July 25, 2016 Wanna know why Red Wine Reduction Sauce is so popular in gourmet restaurants? Because it sounds sophisticated and elegant, but is so easy to make and can just be left simmering on the stove or in a bain marie. It’s just as sophisticated when you make it at home and I […]
Jen’s Greek Pasta Salad
Originally published on August 31, 2016 I have no explanation as to why it took me so long to get this recipe up on the site. One of my very good friends, Jen, gave it to me when my babies were still babies, and she actually gave me the recipe after giving me a massively […]
Grandma’s Casserole
Originally published on September 6, 2016 This summer was not the best for us. It was all going fine with sun and sand and everything else, and then my grandma fell. She’s 94 and broke her hip, so it was off to Niagara for us where it was a bunch of hospital visits and other […]
Grilled Maple Butter and Herb Chicken
Originally published on September 19, 2016 I’m crazy about maple syrup. It’s a relatively new thing, but in the past few years I haven’t been able to shake it. I try to put it on whatever I can get away with, and while at the CNE last month, I bought a jar of maple syrup in one of […]
