Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits
I've been cooking my way through some of my grandma's recipes. I don't remember her ever baking these biscuits, nor eating them, but I came across her rich tea biscuit recipe and decided to give it a go. They didn't work. I made hockey pucks. I'm from Canada, we know our pucks. These, we could've knocked around the ice and I'm sure they would've held up. After a few tweaks, though, Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits inspired by Grandma have found their way straight into my heart!

Fergasa Bread (Green Onion Cheddar Buttermilk Bread)
Fergasa Bread is probably my ultimate favourite bread on the entire planet. I don't know if it is the cheddar and green onion combination. Or if it's the soft white bread, the butter-soaked crust, or the mixture of it all. What I do know is that when I would come across a loaf, I'd snatch it up like it was my long lost child. Then, I'd give everyone side-eye as I made my way to the checkout. As if every person I came in contact with might try and pry it from my grip. I know totally obsessive.

Tater Tot and Bacon Breakfast Quesadillas
Has anyone else been feeling a little lost with the state of the world right now? We've been very fortunate and really have zero reasons to complain, but I find myself in a total funk and I just can't shake it. I haven't had any desire to cook or blog and I've put on way too many pandemic pounds! BUT this past weekend was great and it started with Tater Tot and Bacon Breakfast Quesadillas. Nothing special happened but it just felt like we turned a corner!

French Toast with Easy Brown Sugar Lemon Sauce
My mom grew up eating French Toast with Easy Brown Sugar Lemon Sauce. I have never come across anyone who knows about this wicked combination. Maybe it's a family secret, at least, until I introduce you to it. I've turned a few friends on to this french toast sauce, and everyone that's tasted it, is a fan. Are you ready for the sauce that will change the way you eat French toast, from here on out?

Apple, Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole
I adore a good breakfast dish. Especially one that I can make the night before. One of my favourites is my cousin Chandra's Land of Nod Cinnamon Buns. If you haven't tried that one, add it to your must-try list, but right above that, pencil in this Apple, Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole. It's just as good and the total package. This one will fill you up until lunch. It's savoury with just a hint of sweetness from the apples.

Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes
Pancakes are a treat, right? I feel like they're reserved for special weekends. A lazy day when you can take your time making breakfast. I haven’t used a boxed version in quite a while, I always forget to buy those. So, from scratch is my mode. Last weekend I was craving Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes. I decided to tweak a recipe I was gift years ago and it was so easy and sooo good!

Lemon Pepper Bacon and a BLT
When I suggested this to my husband his eyes lit up. I mean lemon pepper bacon, was the one ingredient on Noah Sim's (a Masterchef Season 10 contestant) legendary burger that Joe Bastianich couldn't get enough. So, obviously I would spend the next year thinking about that bacon before I finally gave Lemon Pepper Bacon and a BLT a try.

Any Season Fruit Salad with Ginger Lime Dressing
This is my new favourite. A last minute, throw together fruit salad. It's easy, delicious and you probably have everything already on hand. I don't tend to pay a ton of attention to what's in season. I'll add that to my ever growing list of things to do–buy in season. Really, it makes sense, but at this moment I'm just not that organized. I do shop the sales, so I am, in a sense, buying for the season. What I do have though, is a stock pile of frozen fruit ready for smoothies. On the days that I want an easy, any…

Mini Cheese Biscuits (Jim n Nick’s copycat)
Since moving to the South, I've been loving the barbecue out here! It's so so good. We pick up a tasty smoked meal from Jim n Nick's at least once a month, but my favourite is the Mini Cheese Biscuits you get with your order. They're insane! So good! There are never any left. They disappear like hotcakes. It's a must! I decided with the world shut down and our family cooped up in our cozy home, it was time to recreate these biscuits.

Loaded Egg in a Hole
I go through spurts and starts with the Food Network. There will be weeks where I binge-watch as much food-related tv as I can stand and then nothing for months. I went through one of those bouts a few months back. It was a competition show where on one episode two of the contestants both made a version of eggs in a hole and I knew I needed to share my favourite recipe for Loaded Egg in a Hole.
