Double Cheeseburgers I wanted to create a fantastic veggie burger to share with the world. Then it dawned on me; vegetarian burgers are only good if you’re vegetarian. I’m not vegetarian. In the event I’m digging a “meatless Monday dinner”, I pretty much guarantee I won’t be reaching for a veggie burger - ever. Why such passion you ask? I ...

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...

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 ...

Skillet Lasagna This dish is for everyone who loves lasagna as much as I do but usually craves it after a really long day at work.

Sous Vide Pepper Steak
Sous Vide Pepper Steak I’m absolutely in love with my Sous Vide. I use it as often as I can. So much so that I wanted to buy a second one in case my current one were to break.

Loaded Beef Burrito Bowls
Loaded Beef Burrito Bowls There are only a handful of meals my entire family can agree on. It seems to be a safe choice to choose Tex-Mex in our house. This meal certainly checked all the boxes: - Nacho beef - Crunchy peppers - Salsa - Spicy rice and my personal favourite; it comes together in 30 minutes 🎈🎈 This is how you ...
Classic Meatloaf with Mushrooms
Classic Meatloaf with Mushrooms This is a variation of my classic meatloaf recipe and I think this is going to be my new go-to recipe from now on! The mushrooms add an incredible depth of flavor and moisture. I would also like to point out that this is a great way to stretch a meal; meat prices have gone up, up, up! Originally posted on March ...
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! I'm really proud of my earlier work and I hope you enjoy it too. Believe it or not but I had never eaten Sheherd’s Pie (nor Cottage Pie which I learned is what we in North America refer to ...
