Now I understand that you are skeptical. Red wine, and beef? Is this a joke? Well if it is… then it’s a joke with a purpose. A purpose of serving my family a delicious meal that they’ve asked for over and over again. The components are simple – meat, potatoes and carrots braised in red wine. The result, however, is an elixir of flavor to savor and share with family and friends. And why not share it? We have shared the recipes to our other meals so why not this one?

If the convenience of nonstick is more important to you than a chef-approved shiny finish, you’ll love this good-looking cookware. It’s a bit pricey, but it delivers the kind of performance you’d expect from the very best cookware with the benefits of stick resistance.
This is such a simple but delicious recipe. It’s also great for using up all of those fresh herbs that you may have in your fridge. It takes very little time to make and the end result, if served straight from the oven with a bowl of soup, is really hard to beat!
We decided to face-off the two titans of kitchen blending: Vitamix vs BlendTec. Take a look at our full analysis. But if you’re looking for a quick answer, we highly highly recommend purchasing a Blendtec. In our experience it’s a much more reliable machine that simply works better than the Vitamix.

I’ve always been a huge fan of pierogies, but it’s hard not to be when you taste them! They are just downright delicious. Pierogies are one of those comfort foods that you could eat on any occasion, whether it be a cold or rainy day or just to get a snack. I love serving these with some caramelized onions and bits of bacon on top!

Most of us simply don’t have that magic barista touch that can dish out a delicious cappuccino without having to don a man bun. But what if you did? The Breville Barista Touch Espresso Maker is the flawless coffee juggernaut that can get you there.
One of my favourite things about winter is that it gives you the excuse to make and eat hearty soups. I love nothing more than sitting down with a steaming hot bowl of soup, and Harissa Butternut Squash Soup is one of the best soups around. It’s rich and warming and has really deep layers of flavour from the harissa paste, spices, and cooked down vegetables.

I know what you’re thinking. Microwave popcorn is fine, right? For purists who aren’t after a burnt or fake-butter flavor, though, the Whirley Pop gets kettle corn right every time.
There’s nothing like a classic Bolognese sauce, and it should be in every home cook’s repertoire. My version is smooth, rich, hearty and slow cooked to perfection. The very essence of Italian comfort food! This is what you hope for when you order spaghetti or lasagna in an Italian restaurant.

After using the Instant Pot for many year, I look back and give it an honest review. Overall, it really does save me time. It helps me with meal prep. And it makes a few dishes that just taste better than other methods. While I certainly don’t use all the functions on this small appliance, the ones I do use make it worth the real estate it takes up in my small kitchen.
