Last weekend I spent two days in one of my favourite places on earth. Fundy National Park in New Brunswick, Canada is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Yes, I’m biased. Yes, I’m probably right. I’ve spent years going to the park to camp, hike, visit waterfalls, watch beavers swim in the pond…one […]
Butter Chicken, aka Flavour City. There are days that you step into the kitchen, open your fridge, and decide that on a scale of 1-10, you’re at a BLT level of cooking energy. You want to be in & out in 10 minutes flat. Back to the couch. And back to your marathon style “Suits” […]
Ice Cream. It’s the perfect summer treat. The perfect indulgence. Over the past few years there has been a rocket-like upswing in people putting bacon on…everything. Sometimes delicious things have been more delicious. Other times, it seems like its an exercise in trying to bacon-ize anything and everything possible, just for bacon’s sake. This recipe […]
In the Maritimes, very few things scream summer like seafood. We just know it; once the fish & chip shops and seafood markets open, it’s on. And yes, I know…technically it’s not quite summer yet, but it feels like it outside, and my heart believes it’s finally here. Aside from amazing local seafood, the produce […]
This week was pretty awesome. And an awesome week means Friday night pizza. Well, to be honest, most weeks mean Friday night pizza, but great ones require it. Celebrating with a nice glass of red, some za, and, because it’s summer (or close enough to it), hang-outs on the back deck. Here’s a run down… […]
Fried Chicken. And the angels sang out. Sweet, glorious, fried chicken. Quite possibly the ultimate comfort food. So perfect. Crunchy, succulent, spicy, sweet. I could sing it’s praise forever. When I lived in the South my life was changed..by many, many things, but the food. Oh the food! The first time I had proper fried […]
Shrimp. Shrimp is new to me. Well, new(ish) in the grand scheme of things, anyway. It’s one of those foods that everyone else around me seemingly chowed on the daily, but based on my non-seafood eating childhood, shrimp was, to me, akin to that crazy food on Fear Factor. No interest, no thanks. Thankfully, a […]
It’s Friday. The sun is shining. And today I ate a million drumsticks. Well, more like 6. But, still… We’ve all had weeks where Friday couldn’t come fast enough. The benefit of working from home (and out of a kitchen) is, well, full of awesomeness. But even when you work from home (and for yourself), […]
Last week was wonderful. The sun was shining as bright as July. There were t-shirts and flip-flops as far as the eye could see. And patio hang outs were the dinner local of choice. This week…not. so. much. RAAAAAAIIIIIIIINNNNNNNN. It’s freezing in Atlantic Canada, and has been raining for what feels like a year (or […]
If there is a better ‘eat with your hands’, made to share food than nachos, I don’t know what it is. Growing up, my brother and I ate a lot of nachos. A lot. They competed head to head with ice cream as our after-school, after-sports, and late evening food drug of choice. Comforting […]
