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!

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.
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.
Incredible, juicy, tangy lamb chops are a real thing of beauty. Juicy flavorful meat overflowing with garlic and herbs is something I can always get behind. Lamb chops are perfect appetizers for any gathering but they also make great main dishes too.
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!
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!
Blackened Salmon is a variation of the classic Salmon recipe, and will be the favorite dinner choice in your home. This deliciously moist and tender fish is golden on the outside, crispy on the outside, and incredibly tender on the inside.
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.
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?

When we heard about Aikido Steel knives, we knew we had to take their most popular product, the Signature 7-Piece Knife Set, for a spin to see if what we had heard was true. Over the last few years, we’ve tested our fair share of kitchen knives, so we are excited to provide this review for our community of home chefs.
