Braised Beef Ribs
Braised Beef Ribs This is a recipe I shared a few years; perfect for Valentine's Day... please, please, please try it... unless you're vegetarian... you probably won't like it if you're vegetarian. I’ve never been one to think about food in terms of “romantic” but then I tasted this and it came to me like an epiphany: this is what romance ...
Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable Soup
Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable Soup Of all the soups I've made over the years (I'm really starting to push 40... hard), this soup is without a doubt the best one I've made. The beef is melt-in-your-mouth tender and the vegetables are seasoned to perfection. This soup is definitely a perk or highlight to the cold crappy weather of ...
Shepherd’s Pie
Shepherd’s Pie This is a recipe for that I shared almost a decade ago! I haven't updated anything because I don't want to re-write history here!

Cheesy Mexican Beef and Rice with Beans, Skillet Dinner
Cheesy Mexican Beef and Rice with Beans, Skillet Dinner This is one of those dishes that is soul-soothing-delicious. I made this dish on a cold night and it warmed me and the house. I love how the corn stays crunchy and by adding black beans you're significantly adding fibre and protein. The green onions at the end give more crunch and ...
Chili Cheese Dogs
Chili Cheese Dogs Here I present my latest; A recipe for barbecued hotdogs topped with old cheddar and then saucy, zesty nacho beef - this is so good that it must be bad... Chilli Cheese Dogs :) Confession: As a first generation Canadian born to European parents, I'd never had a chili cheese dog. I'd seen them at fast food restaurants when I ...
Smoky Chipotle Burgers

I do that sometimes for inspiration… and this is what I came up with last week; tons of veggies with the burger piled high with a delicious sauce! This time I went with my Chipotle Mayonnaise (hot!

Instant Pot Shredded Beef Tacos with Black Beans
Instant Pot Shredded Beef Tacos with Black Beans So I'm not 100% all in when it comes to my Instant Pot, there I said it. Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing machine and it saves a lot of time for many things. With that said, I love my other kitchen appliances too. I spread the love equally. However if I was stranded on a desert island with ...
Deluxe Cheeseburgers
Deluxe Cheeseburgers I have take-out on the brain, on the regular; so here I present my recipe for Deluxe Cheeseburgers :) Take-out is easy Take-out is delicious but Take-out is expensive and.. its not so good for your health or your waistline. Why oh why, is junk food so delectable? Perhaps it's the work of the devil. Okay, yes ...
Beef Pot Pie
Beef Pot Pie Here I present my recipe for tender beef pieces in a rich beef gravy with potatoes and carrots, blanketed with crispy puff pastry :) I had the ingredients on hand because I've been planning this recipe for a long time. When Eye of Round came on sale I bought an extra big one so I'd have enough leftover for this dish. This is an ...
Slower Cooker Pot Roast in a Rich Tomato Sauce
Slower Cooker Pot Roast in a Rich Tomato Sauce I’ll make a slow cooked beef dinner on average once a month during the cold, winter months. I love the aroma that can be smelled from every room in the house. I especially love the way the house smells when you walk from the cold outside - it’s like you’re greeted with a warm hug. The last time ...
