Our Pizza Night Pie.

We love pizza night at our house. Friday. Oh, glorious, wonderful, perfect day of the week. Friday, at our house, is pizza night. Now, to be fair, I’d be completely cool with every night being pizza night, but being adults who would rather not get scurvy, we keep pizza night to a once a week […]

Breakfast Flatbread with Avocado, Feta, and Crispy Prosciutto

Pizza for breakfast. These are the things that a young college aged Dennis loved, dreamed of, and made possible as often as he could. Of course, typically it was cold, never homemade, and quality deficient at best. Years ago, the band I was in decided that we were going to make the trip from Moncton […]

Kimchi Fried Rice

Leftovers. Some people dread leftovers. They fear that the food will just build up in their fridge until garbage day, taking up precious space. PLEASE USE YOUR LEFTOVERS (yes, all caps, I know). Leftover food can make the most creative, delicious dishes that you never imagined possible. Look at the bowl of leftover pasta, rice, […]

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Do you have a kitchen vice? Something that, if left in your kitchen, will basically taunt you until you eat it. Something with the tractor beam pull so strong it should feature in the next Spielberg film? I do. Hi, my name is Dennis, and I have a problem with ice cream. If there’s ice […]

Lobster Ramen

At this point in the game, it’s no secret to anyone that I love noodles. All kinds, all flavour, all shapes & sizes. Love em equally. When I was a kid, we ate a lot of ramen at school. Seriously, this is what we would do. We would go to the local gas station, buy […]

Spicy Beef Bulgogi

When I lived in Nashville my food eyes were opened. Wait…no, I’m good with it…food eyes. My dear friend Esther lived in South Korea for a couple years, moved home, met Marc (my oldest, wisest, and most musically proficient friend), got married, joined band life. So when the opportunity to feast on Korean food came […]

Crispy Squid & Shrimp Platter

Have you ever been legit scared of a dish, to the point where you refused to try it, only to find out years later that it was so unbelievably delicious that you kind of kicked yourself for missing out? Yes? Growing up in a reasonably secluded (and awesome) part of Eastern Canada, most foods have […]

Coconut Grits with Mango Basil Bacon Salsa

Breakfast should, and can, be your best friend. That faithful pal that’s always there, ready and waiting for you to come hang out. No matter what kind of trouble you got yourself into last night, breakfast will still be hanging around the next morning. Sometimes, at least in my world, breakfast can seem a slightly […]

Date Night Grilled Steak Caesar Salad

  Salad. Let’s talk about salads for a second, shall we. Honestly, salads for me have always been like pureed soups. Can they be delicious? Yes. But I’m constantly left hungry, and rarely satisfied. When I was a kid, eating a salad was punishment. I hated it. I totally get why salads are great for […]

General Tso, I love your chicken.

General Tso, I love your chicken. So. Crazy. Good. Over the past few years I’ve become a morning person. Legit. Every morning I wake up to the annoying scream of my phone alarm at 5AM, and half asleep head out the door to the gym. This works well for me for 2 reasons: I have […]
