Mac and cheese meets October's favourite beer cheese dip in this addictive crossover casserole that is a huge crowd pleaser! #beercheesemac #beercheesesauce #macandcheeserecipe #thebestmacandcheese

    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!

  • 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.

  • Prep tonight for an easy tomorrow! I love a loaded breakfast, but a no-fuss, make-ahead breakfast that's layered with bread, ham, apples, onions and cheese then soaked overnight is the best! Apple Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole is the perfect start to any weekend. Make it tonight for a stress-free morning. A favourite during the holidays.

    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.

  • This needs no introduction, if you've been a fan of Masterchef, you'll remember the episode when a burger scored an apron. The secret ingredient? Lemon Pepper Bacon. The tangy lemon flavour along with the savoury bacon and freshly ground pepper takes this to a whole new level. Try it on a BLT it's amazing. Highly recommended, make it now!

    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.

  • Just try and stop at one! Salted Cracker Candy is beyond addictive. Buttery caramel is baked into flaky saltine crackers, topped with a layer of chocolate and a generous sprinkle of sea salt, for that sweet and salty combo. It's only four ingredients that you probably already have, but heed my warning, this never lasts long.

    Salted Cracker Candy

    After dinner, do you crave something sweet? Ever find that there are only ingredients in your cupboards and zero actual ready-to-eat snacks lying around? Unless you count chocolate chips as a treat. Salted Cracker Candy is ALWAYS my go-to in a pinch. It's super easy and it is beyond good. Four ingredients to dessert dreamland.

    Family Irish Bread

    Anytime my aunt is comes to town, fresh Family Irish Bread, is a guarantee. She bakes loaves of it and it is amazing, as is she, amazing that is! Call this a bit of an ode to Ele (my aunt). She is like a second mom to me. She's the aunt I can confide in, scheme with and is always there to help. My aunt drops everything and comes to the rescue of any of her family members, especially her nieces and nephews. In fact, she flew to Georgia for a month-long visit to watch our toddler while I was in labour…
