This Recipe’s Got Some Stories—Let Me Tell You! So, I first made this Chimichurri Shrimp with Rice and Tzatziki on a night when I’d absolutely had enough of plain chicken and my fridge looked like a game of Tetris gone wrong (you know, random half-used herbs, questionable yogurt, two lonely lemons). My sister called right…
Oh, you’re in for a treat with this one. Creamy Chicken Pesto Pasta with Sundried Tomatoes reminds me of the first meal I made entirely from scratch for my sister—she lovingly called it my “green spaghetti incident”. Back then, I didn’t really measure much (and there might’ve been a bit too much garlic, sorry Em)……
Let Me Tell You About This Beef Stew (And That One Time…) Alright, so you know how some dishes just end up being your signature, even when you never planned it? That’s my Savory Slow-Cooked Hearty Beef Stew. I first cobbled it together one rainy autumn Saturday, back when “slow-cooked” in my kitchen usually meant…
Have You Ever Eaten Cheesecake That Tastes Like Cookies? Alright, pull up a chair because, wow—Sugar Cookie Cheesecake is that perfect mashup you don’t realize you need until you do. The first time I made this, it was a total accident; I had a half-batch of sugar cookie dough and, frankly, a cheesecake craving that…
So, Let’s Talk Apple, Carrot, and Oat Breakfast Bake Picture this: it’s an absolutely drizzly Saturday morning, kids (or, honestly, adults) are shuffling around the kitchen half-awake, and I just want something that’s going to make the whole place smell like actual comfort. That’s when this apple, carrot, and oat breakfast bake strolls onto the…
Let Me Tell You About My (Probably Overly) Juicy Meatballs So, picture this: It’s Wednesday night, the kids are fighting (again), and I’m standing in the kitchen staring down a pack of ground beef like it owes me rent. That’s when Juicy Meatballs with Rice & Roasted Veggies comes to the rescue. I’ve made these…
If You Only Make One Biscuit Recipe, Let It Be This One If I had a dollar for every batch of cheesy biscuits I’ve whipped up, I’d probably have, I dunno, enough for a week’s worth of good cheddar. Seriously though, cheddar chive biscuits have been my culinary life raft on more than one busted…
Let’s Talk Pulled Pork (and My Family’s Obsession) Oh, pulled pork. If there’s a more forgiving, less-fussy, big-flavour meal for a Saturday BBQ, I don’t know it. Honestly, this is the dish I make when I want people to rave… but I’d rather hang out than stand over the stove for hours. My mum used…
So About This French Bacon Quiche (Brunches Will Never Be the Same) Okay, let me just say this up front—French Bacon Quiche is the kind of dish that makes folks linger at the table with their forks still in hand. The first time I made it, my husband basically inhaled his slice before I’d barely…
So, You Want Fluffy Pancakes, Eh? Alright, let me tell you—I used to think pancakes were just for rushed weekday mornings or, honestly, for whenever I couldn’t be bothered to make anything else. But then one Saturday (probably during that phase where I was convinced I could bake anything if I tried hard enough) I…
