In general, I’m always trying to spend less time staring at my phone, but Instagram has historically been my downfall. I’m really working on it though, and in January, went on a strict IG detox for the entire month and didn’t even cheat! This seemed to break a lot of bad habits I had, and......
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......
One of the (very) few good things to come out of all the quarantines/lockdowns we’ve had since 2020 is that I finally learned how to cook salmon. Pre-pandemic, I occasionally made tilapia or sole, but never salmon, and I’ve always thought I should be eating more of it for those valuable omega-3s. With cooking so......
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......
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......
This post goes out to my friend Weedy. She was telling me at Christmas how she loves Planet Byn for easy, weeknight dinner inspo, and name-checked these Thai Sloppy Joes as one of her favourites. I remember thinking I needed to blog more of these types of recipes, but then here we are in May, and......
Once again another summer has gone by on my blog without a savoury recipe post. It’s been all boozy cocktails and birthday cakes up in here. It’s true, my will to cook is zapped by 40° days, and there are a lot of snack dinners going on, but I did make a couple great things......
Ever so slowly, we’re creeping our way toward Spring over here. I’ve downgraded from my DEFCON 1 parka to a lighter coat, and have shoved my winter boots to the back of the closet. I still wanted to get a couple more cold weather dishes in, so I busted out this chili last weekend. Five......
I made risotto for the first time back in 2011, and was so excited about it that I waited almost five years to make it again. That’s just what happens in my kitchen though. There’s always something new to make, so I forget about the things I made that I loved. Risotto also has such......
It’s Cinco de Mayo today, so it’s a perfect excuse to log this Frito Pie that I made a couple of months ago. Although who really needs an excuse to cover chili with corn chips and cheese and call it dinner? Certainly not me. I can’t think of where I first heard about Frito Pie,......
