    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!

  • 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…

  • Shocked. Stunned. Surprised that a can of pinto beans and a little seasoning is all it takes for Easy Refried Beans. And they're delicious! I've never been a fan of refried beans but this version is the best I've tried and I would gladly trade in the meat for this tasty vegetarian version!

    Easy Refried Beans (Two Ingredients)

    I was chatting with my best friend one night and happened to ask what they were having for dinner. She said tostadas, I asked a few more questions. And found out that her son only liked his tostadas with Easy Refried Beans. I didn't believe her. I mean, I don't know any kid that would choose beans over taco meat. Personally, beans have never been my go-to. Usually, I just leave them on my plate or push them around until the waiter finally comes and takes it all away. Make them at home? No way, so not my thing.
