    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!

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.

    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.

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…

  • Let's be honest, the best part of a salad is ____________ (fill in the blank). For me, it's the dressing, the extra cheese and of course the croutons! There's nothing quite as good as a bite of salad that ends with the crunch of a really good crouton. These Homemade Texas Toast Croutons are the perfect mix of light, crispy & totally irresistible. I'd eat these by the handful if I wasn't trying to make better choices. I bet you would too!

    Homemade Texas Toast Croutons

    There are a few things, in my mind, that truly make a salad. One is the dressing, I think this is a given. It's what pulls all the ingredients together. Then there's the cheese, I can't think of the last salad (coleslaw doesn't count) I ate that didn't have cheese in it. And then you'll need to top it with a crispy crunchy crouton, just like these Homemade Texas Toast Croutons.

  • That's how many tries it took my mom and me to figure out my grandma's recipe. She knew it by heart, so I can't really fault her for the minimal instructions and non-existent measurements. My aunt test drove this bad boy and agrees this is it! Grandma's Weekend White Bread is as close to my Grandma's sixteen-loaf Saturday ritual as it gets. It's perfect for sandwiches or with a bit of butter for this year's soup season.

    Grandma’s Weekend White Bread
