    Pretzel-Crusted Beer Cheese Macaroni and Cheese

    October may have been months ago, but I figure time stands still for good food, right? While this Pretzel-Crusted Beer Cheese Macaroni and Cheese sounds like a total Octoberfest dish (did this even happen last year *sigh), it's absolutely appropriate any time of the year! I've been known to make Hot Beer Cheese Dip in the middle of August, in the hot, humid south because...well cheese + beer + dip, it's kind of self-explanatory!

    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!

  • What happens when your hometown bakery stops making your favourite bread? You make your own version of it of course! This fully-loaded, totally craveable Fergasa Bread (Green Onion Cheddar Buttermilk Bread) is without a doubt my favourite bread on the entire planet. After one slice, I'm sure you'll agree! #fergasabread #manitobabread #cheesebread #buttermilkbread #greenonioncheddarbread #onioncheesebread

    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.

Now don't read honey and think this is overly sweet, it leans a lot closer to the spicy side, but it's totally delightful!

  • White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese (Panera Copycat)

    I stumbled upon this White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese by accident. Well, wait, not the macaroni and cheese part, that was intentional, but being a Panera copycat, that part I wasn't expecting. I've been wanting a stovetop macaroni and cheese recipe for years. My go-to has always been that famous blue box which I still love, but today I wanted a gooey, cheesy, rich pasta that only comes from the real deal.

  • Stocked up on frozen fruit when the shelves were bare? Tired of smoothies? Any Season Fruit Salad with a Ginger Lime Dressing is hands down the best way to use up some of that frozen fruit. Jazz it up with a bright lime and ginger dressing recipe.

    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…

  • Hands up if your McDonald's nugget order includes hot mustard! While not exactly the same, this Hot Mustard Sauce is an extraordinary substitute for the real deal in a pinch. Easy to make and fantastic as a dip, sauce and spread on anything your mustard-loving heart desires.

    Hot Mustard Sauce (McDonald’s Almost Copycat)

    I'm a HUGE fan of McDonald's Hot Mustard Sauce. It's my top choice, if they don't have hot mustard, I will switch my entire order for something that doesn't require dipping. I have been really lucky out here, though, most of the time it's available, I do cross my fingers when I order because that well could run dry any day. So, to avoid the mustard sauce draught, I decided to come up with my own version. This way when I open that takeout bag and the mustard is missing, I'm already covered!

    Sriracha Spiced Mayo

    There's this super fun spot in the town across from my hometown. It's the summer hangout for most. The season isn't complete without a trip to Sha Sha. And for me, that means a long island tea (or a couple) and a grilled chicken burger with extra pickles and spicy mayo. So, you know what I did this weekend, I pulled out my barbecue, grilled up some chicken breasts for burgers and made some Sriracha Spiced Mayo to top it with!
