Yes, you read that right. Tater Tot freaking Eggs Benedict! I try not to eat tater tots too often because they quickly escalate to an obsession for me. Once I fall off the tot wagon, I binge eat the little buggers for weeks. Some people like the narcotics, but crispy deep fried potato bits are […]
Bourbon Mint Lemonade- My New Summer Drink
A new summer requires a new summer drink. This year, mine is going to be this delicious Bourbon Mint Lemonade. It’s easy to make, and doesn’t require a lot of fancy equipment or craft-cocktail know-how, so it’s right up my alley! Especially since my expertise when it comes to drinks is mainly focused on drinking […]
Charred Brussel Sprout Salad
Eating burgers twice a week as part of the Yeg Burger Odyssey necessitates making healthier decisions on the days you’re not scarfing down seared meat and cheese. It helps that I’ve recently become obsessed with a vegetable that I grew up despising…the lowly Brussel Sprout. Growing up, I only ever had them one way, […]
Pan Fried Squash Cakes
With all the burgers I’ve been scarfing down as part of the YEG Burger Odyssey, I’ve been eating lost of simple, veggie- laden meals at home lately. And since its been a while since I shared a recipe with you all, I thought there’s no better time than the present! One of my go-to meals […]
Burmese Pork Stew
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 […]
Umami 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 […]
my not-so-strange addiction: homemade marshmallows
If you follow my wife Robyn on twitter or instagram, you’re probably already pretty familiar with her new-found obsession: homemade marshmallows. Our house is filling up with the damn things, as she makes batch after batch after batch. I’m starting to wonder if she doesn’t actually think I’m “sweet enough already”. Much to the delight […]
Ginger Buttered Green Beans
My last post was about cooking dinner for families staying at Ronald McDonald House, and it referenced some Ginger Buttered Green Beans that we had made. Since the green beans were a big hit with kids and adults alike, I figured I better post the recipe for all to enjoy. I love simple recipes that […]
Ginger Syrup
I’ve been going a little crazy with the ginger lately, putting it in everything I make. I love the spicy zing it adds to soups, stews, and pretty much everything else. A couple weeks ago my wife Robyn was working the evening shift, and while there was a time that an evening to myself […]
Classic French Canadian Tourtiere
Christmas at my family’s house never included a Tourtiere. In fact, I didn’t have a tiny clue what the heck a Tourtiere was until seeing it on the table at my wife, Robyn’s, family Christmas Eve feast. I mean, who ever heard of serving a minced pork pie at Christmas? Not me, that’s for sure. […]
