So when an almost warm day hit the other day I was all over two things: BBQ ...

Crusty Homemade Bread
Crusty Homemade Bread When I think about a dish I'd find potentially intimidating, homemade bread is at the top of the list. I don't think it's the level of difficulty but rather the investment. The ultimate commodity; time. It takes a really long time for bread (I'm not sure a bread machine would help with this?). Note to self- look in to a ...

Spicy Bean Burritos
Spicy Bean Burritos In case you haven't noticed, I'm so hooked on Mexican and Tex-Mex; it's so easy and insanely delicious.

Instant Pot Beef Ragu
Instant Pot Beef Ragu I've had my Instant Pot for a few months now and it never ceases to amaze me. So far my favourite is the melt-in-your mouth meat that happens in under an hour... An hour! I set out to do the impossible - a rich beef Ragu with all the depth and flavour, in an hour. Can't be done you say? Well I say it CAN! And I ...

So back to my original statement; this is something near and dear to my heart; because I am so busy but I firmly believe in a healthy, delicious home ...
Baked Sausage and Pepper Pasta
Baked Sausage and Pepper Pasta Do you ever get a craving for Ooey-gooey-saucy-cheesy pasta? I do, and I did! We had the promise of spring and then just like that, our dreams were dashed and we were reminded it's still February. So after getting another snowfall ❄️❄️❄️ I receded back into my extra snuggly comfies (I know, hot right???) and I ...
