Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms | 15 Minute Recipe

Did you know you could eat the beautiful flowers that grow off your zucchini plants? I love growing Zucchini and it is an extra treat to be able to eat its blossoms. Here in Ontario they are currently in season. So go out first thing in the morning, harvest the flowers before open, stuff them with some yumminess, coat and fry in a delicious batter. Even my toddler went nuts for these. Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 5 Minutes Serves: 4 Ingredients: - Zucchini Flowers (6-1

Smoked Pork Belly Burnt Ends | Louisiana Grills

Getting some pork belly burnt ends on my @LouisianaGrills has been on my list to try for some time. These little crispy pieces of candy are worth the wait and even better the next day on a sandwich. We made them as a main but I think it would be such a crowd pleasure as an appetizer too (when this whole social distancing is a thing of the past). . I rubbed these bad boys down with some Sweet Heat Rub from @LouisianaGrills and setting my smoker at 275 degrees. I smoked them

Food: A Universal Love Language

No matter what city, culture, or part of the world, there is something that everyone has in common. The love and appreciation of food. We make traditions around seasons like Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Birthday favorites. We meet in lunchrooms and around dinner tables to connect. We connect with the food in front of us and the intimacy of sharing a meal together. The effort that is made behind preparing the food and the flavors that are enjoyed together as an experience.

Creating Life Long Memories At The Cottage

Growing up we spent all of our summers at the cottage. Those BBQ nights, days spent with friends swimming in the waves, making lunches and floating out in a raft fully clothed (that ended up wet), sleeping on the trampoline, catching tad poles in the creek, or our first late night skinny dip. Most of my fondest memories are those at the cottage. As a teenager, we spent every birthday there. Party island day drinking, long dock chats with a little too much vodka, watchin

Delicious Penne A La Vodka

Here is my own spin on a classic Penne A La Vodka sauce recipe that my family requests any change they get. Ingredients - Pasta Sauce (1 can) - Bacon (1/2 package, chopped) -

Easy Beef and Broccoli (with or without Oyster Sauce)

Oddly enough rice is seriously a new things to me. Growing up the only. rare appearance of rice was boxed, Rice a Roni. When I met my husband, this starch loving guy, showed me how delicious it was. I was hooked on trying new types of rices and way to flavor it. In comes the Beef and Broccoli part lol. My husband loves Chinese food. I'm not a huge fan all the high sodium / MSG whole ordeal when it comes to ordering Chinese delivery. So, like any dish I try somewhere

Easy Chalk Paint Furniture DIY

Why DIY chalk painting furniture is super easy. Guys, in the past I've refinished a bare minimum of 5 pieces of furniture. From stripping paint off (gross), to painting, and even staining two dressers to look alike. Chalk paint is by far the easiest and here is why. - Drys super quick - Does not have a toxic smell (can be done indoors) - Applies to almost any surface - Little to no surface pre-work needed (no sanding, stripping, etc) MATERIALS NEEDED: - Chalk Paint (I
