how to grill the best steak ever

How to Grill THE BEST Steak Ever!

By //  by Life In Pleasantville

I am so excited!  Summer is here, summer is here!  I am whispering that, as I do the happy dance, just in case (it's not officially summer and this is Canada), I don't want to jinx this gorgeous weather we are having.  I have had the BBQ out all winter but there's something said for grilling without snow up to your knees as you are flipping steaks out on the deck.  Regardless of the weather, steak is fantastic grilled on the barbecue, if it's done right.  So, pour a …

Easy Baked Eggplant Parmesan

Easy Baked Eggplant Parmesan

By //  by Life In Pleasantville

  We are going to talk about eggplant today!  Guys, have you ever eaten eggplant?  I think it's the kind of food you either hate it or love it.  I was always curious as to what it tasted like, being purple and all but once I gave it a chance, I found I totally loved the stuff. Not only did I become addicted to Eggplant Parmesan but I was loving those Italian bakery sandwiches loaded up with grilled eggplant as well.  I mean, wow!!! Eggplant is dang tasty! …

Superbowl Chili

Super Bowl Chili: You NEED To Make This

By //  by Dee Brun

I worked on this recipe for 3 years. This is why I call it.. THE BEST CHILI EVA or for the purposes of this post, Super Bowl Chili. It has a real mole flare with the coffee and cocoa powder and just a touch of cinnamon. I firmly believe it will spoil you for all other chili forever. Do come back and let me know if I'm right, ok? This works fab as a meal, but it is my favourite to put out with nacho chips at parties, like, the big game party happening this Sunday. Serve it dip style …

stress-free Christmas dinner

Stress-free Christmas Dinner? I Thought You’d Never Ask.

By //  by Kelly Given Williams

I have a super secret method for keeping the stress down when I’m hosting Christmas dinner. I’ve been keeping this info on the down-low for years, but I just can’t watch people sobbing in the frozen turkey section of the grocery store anymore, so I’ve decided to share. The secret is… Ask for help. Christmastime is when family and friends get together. So I think it’s fair to assume that the people coming to your home to partake in your Christmas meal are either family or friends and …

The “I Have No Time to Cook” Slow Cooker Beef Pot Roast

By //  by Candace Sampson

I'm not sure how it happened, or even when it happened exactly, but our daughter's activities have suddenly taken over our life. I've been relegated to Tuesday night wine drinking with a friend because the weekends are now too busy, as is Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. You know what I speak of right? Like most families you're probably going through this too. This is why my slow cooker and I are BFF's right now. I've been whipping that baby out religiously since Labour Day Weekend. One …
