Feta (left) and Cheddar (right) Scones I present to you, Bacon Scallion Scones – Two ways! The inspiration for this recipe came from instagram. Someone had posted a picture of a scallion and feta scone, which left me with a major craving for one. Except, I wanted one with bacon….lots and lots of crispy bacon. Upon review of…
Summer Getaway
Owning my own business and working a regular 9-5 job doesn’t give me much time to go on vacation. Like…a real vacation. Something more than just a weekend away. But this weekend was a bit different. We (as in, my boyfriend and I) headed west to Calgary for UFC 149. So, it was still sort of related to business…
White Russian Cupcakes
These cupcakes have become quite the fan favorite with my friends and family. They are so delicious, and people love that they are infused with liquor. They are great for girls night for sure! This was the very first recipe I have ever used Swiss Meringue Buttercream with. I have no idea why I never tried…
Corn Fritters
Updated recipe can be found here Looking for a quick and easy side for supper? Look no further. This is my go-to recipe when I’m in a pinch. The batter takes a quick minute to mix together, and you just drop it by the spoonful into a hot pan. I prefer to serve my fritters…
Frozen S’mores
Guess what? July is National Ice Cream Month! And I’ve got one heck of a fabulous recipe for you. Graham crackers, melty marshmallows and chocolate. Three good things, combined to make one great thing. Sure s’more are delicious, but when it’s 100 degrees outside, the last thing I want to do is go out back and…
Chicken Grenades
Give me an excuse to make an appetizer, and I will. Potluck day at work, UFC fight night, girls night. You name it and I will bring food. I have a love for finger foods, and this recipe has made its way into my list of favorites.I first saw this recipe on Food TVs show,…
Strawberry Almond Cake
Strawberries. I love ’em. And it just happens to be strawberry season, so I’m going to take advantage of as many fresh berries as I can. It’s not often you see strawberries baking into something. They are usually served fresh in or on top of something, so when I saw this recipe, I knew I had to give…
Apricot Stir Fry
This recipe is kind of like a coming-of-age story for me. I used to be the kind of girl that would buy the bottled Teriyaki stir fry sauce. It was quick and easy, which was perfect for me when I was in University. But I’ve grown up now (or so I like to think), so it’s…
Barbecue Monterey Chicken
Monterey Chicken with side of broccoli salad The weather is really staring to feel like summer. I’ve had about enough of all the rain (although my garden really loves it). With this little break from the rain, it gave us an opportunity to BBQ. We BBQ chicken quite often, but I didn’t want to use one…
Cornflake-Chocolate-Chip-Marshmallow Cookies
My sister Stacey and I got together this weekend to bake. Generally, it involves me doing all the baking, and Stacey does all the cleaning. This type of arrangement works perfect for us, considering I’m a control freak in the kitchen and she is totally OCD about cleaning. We had originally decided on a different…
