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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Blackberry Bacon Pancakes

Few things say Saturday morning like pancakes. Weekend mornings at our house usually means lots of coffee, Sinatra cranked, too much coffee (if that’s even possible), and brunch. For the record (if it wasn’t already glaringly obvious), I love breakfast. Love it. I’m the guy who could very happily eat breakfast food every single meal of the […]

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 […]

Rigatoni with Ricotta & Kale Basil Pesto

  Two food processor based recipes in two days! I know, right!? Simple, quick, delicious, other adjectives, etc etc etc amen. Pasta. Let’s chat a second about how wonderfully versatile pasta really is, shall we. Most cultures in the world have some form of noodle based dish that they call their own. And thankfully, along […]

Blueberry Cheesecake ‘Frozen Yoghurt”

I love summer, you guys. Love. This year we’ve had a crazy winter in my little part of the Great White North. SO TIRED OF SNOW. But the sun is starting to show some love again, the snow is starting to fade away, and the hoodie is quickly becoming the jacket standard. Without a doubt the thing […]

Honey Garlic Stir Fry

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. And again. And maybe a third time. I could eat noodles every day. They’re so amazingly versatile. They’re delicious. They’re easy to make. And let’s be honest, eating with chopsticks is just fun. Some nights, you need supper on the table in under 20 minutes, you […]

Eggs Benedict Breakfast Pizza

This may be my new favourite breakfast pizza. Margarita, you’ll always have my pizza heart, but this one is a zinger. But sometimes when brunch time rolls around, you want to be able to eat pizza without shame. To boldly breakfast, where few have breakfast’d before. This is perfect for a crowd, and they won’t […]
