    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.

Hot Vinegar Pan-Fried Beets are the only recipe you will ever need. Boiled and then pan-fried and finished with a drizzle of vinegar creates the tastiest side for all of your meat & potato style meals. Not to mention you can add them to salads, bowls, etc. OR eat them straight up just like me!

    Hot Vinegar Pan-Fried Beets (Two ingredients)

    Hot Vinegar Pan-Fried Beets may seem a little misleading. These beets are not spicy at all. I just mean hot as in temperature and vinegar as vinegar not pickled. I see a lot of recipes for pickled beets, but this is not that. This is one of my favourite side dish recipes EVER. I've always loved these beets. This is how we grew up eating this pretty red vegetable. And let me tell you this was one side I NEVER skipped and for a young kid, that's saying a lot.

    Spinach and Feta Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes

    There's a little coffee shop in the city across the river from my hometown. The shop was owned by a family friend and was definitely the hot spot in town when it opened. We'd hang out there after school drinking their version of a frappucino. And on Saturdays, we'd head over the border to get Spinach and Feta Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes. It was the best way to start the weekend.

So, I whipped up this easy Ginger and Vegetable Fried RIce side dish. Loaded with flavour this rice was a huge hit!

    Ginger and Vegetable Fried Rice

    The first time I served Ginger and Vegetable Fried Rice, it was to a group of my coworkers. We had planned a potluck dinner after work, but we added a twist.

BUT, when you can make pulled pork in a crockpot like this recipe here, I think it’s appropriate for all seasons, especially when you can use it to make the tastiest Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese sandwiches. I think it’s safe to say, sandwiches are a fantastic meal. The perfect vessel for all sorts of ingredients. I mean, let’s think about this for a minute, they’re portable, usually have a sauce or spread, filled with top-notch ingredients,…

  • Homemade caesar dressing, pan fried crispy salt and pepper breadcrumbs and mushrooms makes this version the king of all caesars. One bite, and I'm sure you'll agree, this is the only way to eat this side dish. Caesar Salad with Mushrooms and Crispy Breadcrumbs is a worthy update to the classic.

    Caesar Salad with Mushrooms and Crispy Breadcrumbs

    When I'm at a restaurant, I generally choose the caesar when offered a side. Of the three usual options, caesar is my go-to. It's not as filling as the soup and the side salad is, well, boring. Now, a good caesar salad in my opinion has to have fresh crunchy greens, a garlicky dressing, bacon and loads of parmesan, Caesar Salad with Mushrooms and Crispy Breadcrumbs takes my favourite salad, one step further. The addition of fresh mushrooms is incredible. I also like to top the whole thing with crispy salt and pepper breadcrumbs for extra crunch in every bite.
