Originally published on April 16, 2017 For the past couple of years, I’ve made super simple, super easy Easter treats. I don’t know what it is – maybe because Easter falls on a Sunday and in this house ‘Sunday’ equals kinda lazy – but while I enjoy making treats just for the holiday, I don’t like […]

Grilled Pimento Cheese Sandwiches
Originally published on April 30, 2017 The month of April really came in like a lamb and went out like a lion at our house. It began with a wonderful family vacation to Quebec City, and ended with me in bed pneumonia-ridden and suffering from several antibiotic side effects. That sickness almost made me miss Grilled Cheese Month altogether, […]
Proper Beer-Battered Fish
Originally published on May 3, 2017 So, before making this recipe, it had been nearly 10 years since I made fish and chips at home. That’s right. 10 years. Why? Because the last time I made it, it turned out to be a big bland awful mess. The beer batter stuck to the fryer basket, fell off when I […]
Tequila Sunrise
Originally published on May 5, 2017 It’s Cinco de Mayo! Every year I get excited about this holiday and use it as an excuse to partake of all kinds of Mexican food and drink. Little bit of trivia for you, while Mexicans docelebrate the day, they don’t actually call it Cinco de Mayo – that’s something reserved for […]
Rigatoni in a Vodka Sauce
Originally published on May 8, 2017 There’s not a lot that can compete with my love of pasta. I love it in all shapes and forms, and I love trying out new sauces to go with them. The one I tried most recently was pasta in a vodka sauce and OMG, guys. It’s incredible. It only takes a few minutes […]
Estonian Red Salad
Originally published on May 14, 2017 Happy Mother’s Day to all the outstanding mothers out there working hard every single day for their families! This recipe didn’t come from my mother, but rather her mother, my grandma! I grew up on this salad and while I’m sure it has some very official Estonian name, in my house […]
Butterscotch Pie
Originally published on May 16, 2017 Can you believe I have not posted a dessert recipe on this site in 4 months? Okay, there were some Easter goodies last month, but no actual dessert. So, I thought it was time to remedy that and post something sweet and delicious! To be honest however, that wasn’t […]
Beet and Arugula Salad
Originally published on May 24, 2017 It was the long weekend this past weekend. It was Victoria Day and Brent had yesterday off too, so although it’s Wednesday I feel as though I’m just getting back into the swing of things for the week. But, point being, it was the long weekend this past weekend. […]
How to Make the Perfect Burger
Originally published on June 5, 2017 The weather hasn’t been all that cooperative for those of us around these parts that would like to start grilling, but that hasn’t stopped us either. And they say that sunnier days are in the forecast – hopefully for many months to come – so that means the grills […]
Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Originally published on June 14, 2017 This is a soup I used to make at the restaurant all the time because it’s so very easy and takes no time at all to pull together. The secret is to use leftover mashed potatoes. After that, all you really have to do is fry up some bacon, grate some […]
