Maple and Beer Baked Ham

April 12, 2017 By baconhound

Growing up, our protein of choice for any holiday seemed to be turkey, That always suited me just fine, since homemade turkey gravy is one of life’s tastiest pleasures.

June 29, 2015 By baconhound

The Best Tater Tot Shepherds Pie

Tater tots are awesome. Even the most “foodie” of foodies knows that. Once in a while I go on a tot binge, and start using them in ways the universe never intended, like this Tater Tot Eggs Benny. I’ve yet to find a way I don’t love them. It was on one of my latest […]

Brussels Sprout Lazy Cabbage Rolls

What do you do when your friend gives you a box of fresh brussels sprouts that’s so big it won’t even fit in the fridge? You put a twist on an old classic and make Brussels Sprouts Lazy Cabbage Rolls, of course! I’m a big fan of cabbage rolls, but not so much of the […]

February 6, 2014 By baconhound

Burmese Pork Curry

I’m a man who has eaten his fair share of pork dishes over the years, and this Burmese Pork Stew recipe from my favourite restaurant in Portland, Tasty n’ Sons, is among my favourites. It’s spicy, sweet, and beautifully rich, so there was never a question as to whether I would try it myself at […]

January 30, 2014 By baconhound

creative egg salad

Ugh, egg salad. How boring. Unless, of course, you’re talking about this Umami Egg Salad made with some amazingly flavourful pickled eggs. So flavourful that I may have just devoured 2 sandwiches in mere seconds. I first made these delicious pickled eggs as an element for another dish that I had at Tasty n’ Sons in […]
