Here’s a fantastic recipe that is quick and easy. I got very tired of just putting tomato sauce on my pasta and found this recipe at the LCBO. It’s light and healthy and surprisingly tasty! Give it a try next time you are going to make pasta. […]
What Are You Doing This Long Weekend
This weekend is a long weekend with Monday being Labour Day. Labour Day is the first indicator of the end of the summer and that means back to school for most students. For me, however, the Labour Day weekend means Ribfest!
Every year a number of restaurants from across Canada and the United States compete against each other on the shores of Lake Ontario at Spencer Smith Park in Burlington, […]

Start your own micro-brewery for only $5,000!
I’ve had my eye on the Sabco Brew-Magic System for a while now. I’ve always dreamt of having my own micro–brewery and with the Brew-Magic system it is a possibility. The system only produces one keg at a time, which is about 7 cases of beer, but beer only takes weeks to mature and as long as you have the storage space you could make a number of batches in one day producing a decent starting inventory.

Easy Delicious Rotisserie Chicken

It was moist and juicy and the skin tasted amazing. […]

Picking the Perfect Steak
What is the “perfect steak”? How do you know which steak is better then others? Earlier, I talked about cooking a juicy steak to perfection, but what I didn’t talk about is steak selection. If you make the wrong choice when it comes to selecting your steak, you could be missing out on a whole world of steak goodness. […]

This past weekend was a long weekend for us Canadians celebrating Victoria Day.
Victoria Day is commonly referred to as May two four because of it’s proximity to May 24th and a case of beer has 24 bottles in it. As such I thought it would be appropriate to share with you my favourite 10 beers. […]

Cedar Plank Salmon
I said I would post a vegetarian recipe, I don’t know if this counts, but this is as close as I can get to vegetarian. I love smoking food. I’ve only used a cedar plank in the past, but once I have my cottage built I’m going to pick up a smoker… I can’t wait. […]
