Grilling For Easy Entertaining

February 14, 2019 by Kathryn 1 Comment

Hosting a dinner party should be a pleasant experience, but too often it can turn into a stressful ordeal instead. It can be daunting to divide your attention between meal preparation and your guests’ conversations.

Then, there is also the challenge of figuring out in what order to cook foods so that everything turns out just right.

The Breville Quick Touch Crisp Lets You Microwave, Grill and More with One Handy Appliance

January 10, 2017 by Kathryn 361 Comments

When it comes to convenient cooking, the microwave is still the king of the kitchen for most families. Being able to heat up leftovers, cook frozen convenience meals and even sometimes create whole meals in minutes is a lifesaver for a busy family. And now, Breville is making the kitchen’s handiest appliance even more useful with the new Breville Quick Touch Crisp! This ingenious microwave not only features settings for heating beverages, softening butter and more, it even features a clever integrated grill and crisping feature that allows you to grill pizza, sandwiches and more to perfection right in the microwave!

Recently I was given the chance to review the Breville Quick Touch Crisp for myself and I’m sure it goes without saying that I was thrilled. My previous microwave was as basic as basic could be, so upgrading to this stylish stainless steel beauty was a delight. At first glance, it seemed fairly similar to any other modern microwave, but as soon as I opened the door, I saw the difference. The variety of settings was more extensive than any microwave I’ve ever owned. And of course, the special grilling feature and crisping pan added way more versatility. [Read more…]

Grill in Style this Summer with 10 Amazing BBQ Tips and Ozery’s OneBun®-Giveaway

May 22, 2015 by Kathryn 162 Comments

I am a huge fan of barbequing and once the weather is warm enough to eat outside, I’ll sometimes use the barbeque all week long. From chicken and steak to hot dogs and hamburgers, it’s a sure-to-please meal if it’s been on the grill!

But I’m not a fan of the big, doughy hamburger and hot dog buns and their high calorie count, so that’s why this year I’ve fallen in love with Ozery’s Pita Break! The company’s OneBun® flatbread buns are a lighter alternative to traditional buns and are free of artificial colours, flavours, additives and preservatives. To help you have an extra delicious barbeque season, Ozery’s Pita Break has ten great barbeque tips you’ll want to check out before you hit the grill!

Grill Steak, Chicken, Fish and More to Perfection with the T-fal #OptiGrill-Giveaway

May 6, 2014 by Kathryn 257 Comments

If there’s one thing that I love about living in a small town, it’s the high number of small, family-run businesses to which I have access. And one of my absolute favourites is our local butcher shop, Jerky Boys Meats. As the name implies, the shop’s jerky is its claim to fame; nobody I know has ever tried it and not ended up hooked. But the shop also offers homemade sausage and burgers, fresh and tender cut-to-order steaks, chicken, ribs and so much more.

I don’t eat a whole lot of meat compared to some, but when I do I like it to be of the best quality and I take extra time to ensure that I prepare it perfectly. For steak, an indulgence that I mainly save for summer, that usually means a thick ribeye that’s cooked medium to medium-rare and topped with whatever indulgent extras I’m craving at the moment. Fresh lemon juice, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of kosher salt is a top pick if I want the flavour of the meat to really shine through. Garlic butter and sautéed mushrooms are my favourite toppings if I want to make my meal even more rich and luxurious.
