The Always Pan: Everything You Wanted to Know
Our Final Rating: ★★★★☆
Whenever a shiny new promise of kitchen minimalism is dangled in front of me, I’m tempted to take the bait. Such was the case with the Always Pan by Our Place, which is a nontoxic, nonstick pan boasting multiple cooking functions. It also happens to be incredibly beautiful, making it total kitchen eye candy. We decided to give it a spin, and today we’re sharing our full review.
Cheddar Pierogies with Caramelized Onions and Bacon
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!

Our Final Rating: ★★★★★
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.
DIY Popeyes Chicken Sandwich
If you’ve been craving fried chicken sandwiches, then we’ve got you covered with this delicious crispy Fried Chicken Sandwich. It’s super crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside and loaded with spices. It’s as close as you will get to the famous Popeyes chicken sandwich which is currently sold out everywhere. But in my opinion, it’s so much better and surprisingly easy to make at home!

Our Final Rating: ★★★★★
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.
Harissa Butternut Squash Soup
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.
Instant Pot: Our Honest Review
Our Final Rating: ★★★★☆
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.
Simple Garlic, Tomato, & Rosemary Focaccia
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!
Whirley Pop: Our Experience Making Stove-Top Kettle Corn
Our Final Rating: ★★★★☆
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.
