Swedish-ish Meatballs
Swedish-ish Meatballs So I compared my recipe (this one) with my mother's (who is Swedish) and while I captured the spirit of the Swedish meatball I did make 3 technical errors. First, traditional Swedish meatballs use half ground beef and half ground pork (I only used ground beef). Second, I added garlic but really; I’m half Italian and I ...
Beef Sliders with au Jus
Beef Sliders with au Jus I'm obsessed, obsessed I say with those Hawaiian sweet rolls that you see all over social media, and you know what??? I found them! I love them! They're delicious and so much fun! So the bad part is they're not the healthiest but when you focus on portion, lean protein and sodium levels, it makes it less of a guilty ...
Marinated Flank Steak
Marinated Flank Steak This winter sucked and now we have snow on Easter weekend? What is going on? We had a brief reprieve of the cold last week and my family capitalized on it and barbequed, without a parka! I’m not one to advocate writing off red meat, there are tons of vitamins and huge protein; I just advocate portion control which is key to a ...
Lemon/Soy Flank Steak
Lemon/Soy Flank Steak I officially love flank steak! This is another yummy marinade for you; it’s lemony (yum!) and has a hint of Asian flare (double yum!). Flanks steak used to be considered a cheap cut of meat but then all of a sudden people clued in to how great it is and now it’s expensive, so unfair!!! Originally posted on May 04, ...
Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef
Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef Mongolian Beef is something I've wanted to try for a long time. Then when I was in the grocery store and saw this beautiful (but tough) cut of meat and I thought, crockpot; brilliant!!! This dish is decadent and rich, the meat melts as you touch it. You definitely need to try this, I promise you won't be ...
Good Old Fashioned Meatloaf
Good Old Fashioned Meatloaf This is definitely on my top 5 list of favourite comfort food. This is my take on my mother’s recipe. I remember she would make this when it was cold and rainy outside which coincidently, it was today! This is another recipe I shared years ago. I am absolutely loving bringing my older recipes back into action ...
Teriyaki Burger
Teriyaki Burger Omg, when I say teriyaki burger, I mean teriyaki burger; not a burger topped with teriyaki sauce but the meat tastes like teriyaki! This is soooo good, you have to try it! ...

This is easy and it’s something that’s sure to impress. This recipe is more about technique then an actual recipe. Follow these guidelines and you’ll be fine, I ...
Spiced Steak Rub
Spiced Steak Rub I was talking to a wonderful lady the other day and she observed that I cook a lot of meat while there seems to be more of a vegan push on nutrition. This gave me the opportunity to reiterate my personal philosophy on food. Life in moderation. I prefer lean protein (in appropriate portions) to starchy ...
Slow Cooker Pepper Steak

Apparently this has set a record for rain in spring in southern Ontario 😡 Here is my cold weather recipe. In May. May. I'm ...

Steak and Goat Cheese Salad with a Creamy Scallion and Lime Dressing OMG y'all it's almost Spring!

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