    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

Give them a try and let me know how close you think they are!

    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.
