If there’s one dish that brings pure joy to a steak lover, it’s a perfectly cooked medium-rare steak. There's something magical about that tender, juicy center with a beautifully seared crust on the outside. Whether you're treating yourself after a long day or...
I tried something new the other day and came out with a really tasty chili casserole. It wasn't all that hard to make and is a nice variation from regular chili - which we love anyway. The next time I make this, I might put a layer of Fritos corn chips between the...
The sizzling summer makes the mercury rise. Beat the heat with a nice serving of cannabis ice cream, your choice of THC psychoactive or CBD. The dessert’s potency is up to you – stick with 3 grams of weed for a light hit. This may be the dream of stoners all over, but...

Stefan and his dad have a serious love of stuffed bell peppers. Over the last year, I think they have probably talked about them every time they’ve seen each other in person, which is every few months. And I’m sure that there were a few phone calls in between when...
I was wandering around on the web last week and came across a recipe that I just had to try on Simple Organized Living / Andrea Dekker (which is always chock full of great simple living tips). But seeing as I’m not able to leave well enough alone, I had to tweak the...
