At some point during the pandemic, I started making Pinterest boards for dinner parties that I wanted to host when lockdowns finished and life returned to “normal”. To be honest, they were all various Thanksgiving themed boards, based around me FINALLY roasting a turkey for the first time in my life. I decided this was......
I absolutely adore Molly Yeh, and have a series recording set up on my PVR for Girl Meets Farm so I never miss an episode. HOWEVER, it’s pretty rare that I make any of the recipes I actually see on the show, since Molly is routinely doing things like handmaking fresh pasta for homemade ravioli,......
Shawarma is one of the primary joys in my life and I was excited at the prospect of replicating it at home when I saw this recipe on the (oddly named) Plays Well With Butter blog. Obviously I knew I’d never be able to match the happiness of watching chicken shawarma get sliced off a......
I unabashedly love Mexican chain restaurants. Give me a a bottomless basket of tortilla chips and salsa, and then a flaming cast iron skillet of chicken fajitas and I am the happiest camper. Lone Star has been my go to for so many years; at my first job after university it’s where I bonded with......
I haven’t made anything new from the Half Baked Harvest blog in a hot minute, and as soon as I started preparing this recipe I remembered why. So many components! So many ingredients! So many dishes! I kind of hoped this wouldn’t be good after all this, but damn, it really was. And it only......
I wrote in my June recap that I kind of forgot to switch up my cooking for the warm weather months, so I’ve been looking for summery recipes to try lately. I kept seeing this salad bowl on Mel’s Kitchen Café when I was searching for her cilantro lime rice, and gave it a try......
What’s your trashy food court favourite food? I don’t really partake that much any more (and obviously not right now), but in my childhood and teen years, I was a food court champion. I can still picture the scene at my childhood mall, where it usually came down to a battle between two places: NY......
I made these delicious tacos earlier in the summer and knew they’d be perfect for my Emmys viewing party (after copious amounts of guac & chips, natch). This is the best kind of slowcooker (or instant pot) recipe – just add everything in and turn it on. The ranch slaw is also perfect (with or......
Could it be? Something savoury posted in the summer months?! It’s a rare occurrence around these parts I know. It’s too hot to cook, so I tend to eat a lot of salads and heaped hummus (like this) for my summer dinners. But my blog crush* is posting so many tasty summer recipes, I’ve basically......
I fully realize no one needs a recipe for nachos, so I present this as more of an idea and reminder to my future self that these were delicious. While I love basic nachos with cheese and salsa/sour cream/guac for dipping, I wanted something a little different to snack on for NBA All-Star Weekend a......
