My dad first introduced my sister and I to grapefruit when we were pretty young. He would load it up with sugar, and it was an instant hit! I’ve had this recipe (if you can call it that) on my list for a few months now, and I just happened to remember it while I was at…
Pale Ale Mac and Cheese
I clearly have a complete disregard for the health of myself and of those I feed. Case and point, this mac and cheese recipe. Dish this up for yourself, and you will totally see what I mean. This is, by all means, an adult version of the ultimate comfort food. You simply can’t go wrong. I’ve…
Pecan Crusted Brie
I’ve had the biggest craving for baked brie ever since I got back from a little vacation in Calgary. Then a lovely blogger commented about how she wished she had somewhere nearby that served up a version of the magnificent brie I mentioned. Well ladies and gentlemen, it’s really not that hard to make at home….really,…
Bacon Scallion Scones
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…

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

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…
