Tomorrow, January 22nd, is National Southern Food Cooking day and it only seemed proper to pull together a round up of the tastiest southern food cooking there is out there! As a Canadian, living in one of the most Northern major cities of the country, my experience with southern food cooking is limited. However, in August of 2015 my husband and I went to New Orleans, Louisiana where I had my first taste of the south and we fell in love immediately….
How do you shorten a title like basil goat cheese stuffed cherry tomatoes and still provide a small detail of what the post will be about? You can’t. Well I couldn’t. Every part of that title deserves to be there and if you try making these sweet little gems, you will know what I mean. The basil pops through the rich creamy goat cheese and the cherry tomatoes aren’t just a carrying pod for the creamy delight; they also add…
I love coffee. You may think I love craft beer from all the beers reviews I do, and I assure you – I do love craft beer; but java… I have a different relationship with. I have been drinking instant coffee tea bags since my early teens, something I couldn’t obviously do with beer, so right there my relationship with coffee is longer. Also, I can drink coffee first thing in the morning; in fact, it’s kind of the point! I…
I make nuts and bolts every year at this time to give out as gifts and to share with family and friends as a snack when they come over to my house during the holiday season. Oh, and I always have enough for my husband and I to wolf them down while watching Christmas movies. This recipe started from my dad who made them annually for us at Christmastime. They are crunchy and salty and quite honestly, I followed the…
Christmas is easily my favourite time of year and for many reasons; mostly because I love cooking and entertaining and Christmas is (for me and my family) all about eating and getting together! One dish that is traditionally served at Christmas is the French Canadian tourtiere meat pie. The tourtiere originated in Quebec and is a meat pie consisting of ground or finely diced pork, beef or veal. I have always had it growing up with pork, but I have seen many other versions,…
It’s only five days until Christmas! If you are in a pinch and looking for a really simple Christmas treat, this recipe takes a little over an hour only, and most of that time is for the setting of the cranberry pistachio white chocolate bark in the fridge. Cranberry pistachio white chocolate bark just screams christmas to me. The cranberries are red; the pistachios green; and the chocolate is white; making it Christmas themed by the colours alone! It is…
There are still a few days left before fall officially turns to winter, so I am posting this at the last minute… but I assure you these beers are great choices for winter as well! Let’s be honest, in Canada winter kind of starts in October. Even if we have had a mild season so far, there are cold nights and snow on the ground, making these beers the perfect solution to warm up with! In the fall and winter I…
When I received the opportunity to post using Matt & Steve’s Extreme Beans, I knew it would be an exciting and tasty process. We have used Matt & Steve’s Extreme Beans as a garnish in our caesars for a while now, so I wanted to make a classic caesar for a drink. I posted a spicy basil caesar in the summer, but this will be a classic caesar with Matt & Steve’s B’n Olive Juice and as many Extreme Beans I…
