Recipes

Valentine’s Day is this Sunday, and if you’ve got nothing planned yet or you’re like me and staying in to watch Netflix, take a look at some of my favourite Valentine’s Day recipes.

If you’ve ever taken a photo of your food and waited for the likes to roll in, you know what I mean when I say some dishes are just “Instagram-worthy.” Here are three you can try this weekend, and don’t forget to share them with your followers. Save Save Save

Have you ever wondered what’s in those store bought popsicles? I’ll skip the secrets and just go ahead and tell you that besides water, the only other real ingredient is sugar. Not just one type of sugar either – the last box I picked up had both sugar syrup and corn syrup, not to mention other artificial ingredients to give them colour and flavour. That’s why the Zoku Quick Pop Maker is one small kitchen gadget I don’t want to be without this summer.

BBQ chicken is one of those dishes that’s perfect for every occasion. From backyard BBQs to company picnics, served hot or cold, BBQ chicken makes a great addition to any menu. It’s also the best main course you can make ahead, because it stores for an entire week of sandwiches, wraps, and salads too.  

If you’ve already run through your favourite backyard BBQ steak, burger, and hot dog recipes, it’s time to spice things up a bit. Fresh seafood is amazing on the grill, and I’ve got 3 great recipes you can try this weekend.

Car camping is a great way to get away for the weekend, and if you bring along a propane stove and some cookware, you can try these great camp trip recipes.

   When Pinterest came out, I was fascinated by the beautiful recipes. However, while their dishes are pretty to look at, there is no way I could replicate them without food styling. That’s why I’ve almost abandoned Pinterest and have started using apps again: following one cooking influencer is much simpler than doing a random Google/Pinterest search. Here are two free apps to turn you into a culinary pro.
