Spicy buttermilk fried chicken sandwiches are legendary in Louisianna. Crispy, spicy, crunchy and everything you dreamed of. Have you ever had Popeyes? This is an exact copycat of THAT amazing sandwich. Something deliciously salty, a little greasy and with a punch of heat. (if you want!)

This bread makes the perfect crispy noise when you tap it with a knife, but it’s so fluffy and soft inside. Thank you dough dimples – who knew right?

What’s on your shelf doesn’t really matter, how we put them together does. Grab an acid, fat and a few seasonings and you’ve got yourself a tenderizing, beyond flavourful, ‘kick it up a notch’ meat soak

I promise these are the soft kind of oatmeal cookies. They’re ooey-gooey, cinnamony completeness. I don’t think these cookies need anything extra except maybe some chocolate chips when you’re in the mood. We won’t deny anyone that!

Flavourful, filling and healthy? You don’t hear that together often. This salad (or meal?) is all of these things! It’s easy to make for your lunch or a crowd. It’s a lot less expensive to make at home (like most things) and a great way to use up vegetables, leftover turkey and bacon, all while getting excellent fibre, protein and the good fats.

I love Pad Thai. There I said it. Stir-fried noodles in a sweet, tangy and spicy sauce. Crispy beansprouts, fresh lime and roasted peanuts. All wok-fried together into a beautiful mix of YUM. I’ve longed to visit Thailand and try any dish, so naturally, I order from our local Thai place frequently enough the owner knows me by name.

Hello comfort food, it’s me calling! Homemade, baked, cheesy macaroni that is so easy, it’s dangerous. This is the real deal, no shortcuts. It’s full fat, full cheese, full butter and full-blown delicious. Did I mention the crunchy, buttery topping? You can even call it meal prep, there will be leftovers if you use some self-restraint. 

Sweet and savoury with a zip of flavour that’ll make you use this marinade with everything. I could eat these every damn day. Reheated, cold from the fridge, tossed with a salad or even added to fresh pasta. With those grill marks, can you blame me? It’s summertime and the grillin’ is easy. Now get going, I know you want to. 

No more dry, burnt, undercooked or tasteless birds again. This recipe practically created itself over many early mornings on Christmas and Thanksgiving preparing a turkey with my mom, creating memories I’ll have for a lifetime. I’ve reduced the steps and kept all the good parts, so it’s perfect for any size chicken and quick enough for after work. Don’t just take my word for it, try it yourself! 

When you make this iconic breakfast food, it’ll be hard not to eat the whole batch. Golden toast, crispy edges, sweet syrup and even sweeter toppings. Simple yet spectacular, it will even impress the girls at your next brunch. The variations are endless and it’s simple enough that you can whip it up in less than 20 minutes.
