There are some celebrity chefs, foodie personalities and bloggers that I love, and I rush to cook or bake whatever I see them make – people like The Barefoot Contessa, Claire Saffitz and of course Smitten Kitchen. But weirdly, there’s another subset of chefs that I love even though I NEVER make any of their......
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 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......
At the beginning of lockdown, so many blogs and food sites talked a lot about pantry meals. These posts presume that a) you even have a pantry and b) it’s well stocked with items just waiting to be used. Well, I definitely don’t have a pantry (just a small cupboard) and I’ve never been the......
We all know that I’m super picky when it comes to food, but did you know there’s one particular thing that I LOVE, but that I refuse to eat in public? That’s Corn-on-the-Cob, my friends. I just can’t deal. The only place I’ll eat it is at my parents’ house, because I know I can......
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 love knowing what other people eat for dinner during the week. Do they cook a regular rotation of favourites or try new things? How do they grocery shop? One big shop on the weekend or little shops throughout the week? Do they plan specific meals or just create meals on the fly? I’m obsessed.......
I’m obsessed, OBSESSED I say, with these Kung Pao Chicken Tacos that I found on How to Eat over my Christmas holidays. I met the lovely Dara & Erin at the Food Bloggers of Canada conference last year, and their blog is one of my favourites that I’ll visit if I want some fresh, healthy......
Last week’s Gastropost mission was super fun: Food on a Stick! I was originally going to do some type of s’mores situation (skewered graham cake, homemade marshmallows, hot fudge dipping sauce), but I took things in a more savoury direction. Here’s what I had to say: As a condo-dweller without a barbecue, I took......
This post is brought to you by good old-fashioned nosiness, one of the cornerstones of the blogosphere in my opinion. Learning that Gaby is Jessica Simpson’s personal chef lead me to a flurry of clicks around her site, trying to gain more intel on what Jessica eats on a daily basis. There are lots of......
