When it comes to creating beautiful and unique centrepieces for parties or special occasions, we often turn to flowers. But what if you could create a stunning bouquet that not only looks beautiful, but is also delicious? That’s where the idea of ham, cheese, and pork loin roses comes in. These edible roses are not […]
Braised Pork Medley
This Braised Pork Medley is a meat-lover’s dream featuring fall-off-the-bone ribs and juicy pork shoulder and sausages. Braising is a cooking technique that involves searing meat and then slowly cooking it in liquid or its own juices over a low heat, resulting in tender and flavourful meat that falls apart at the touch of a […]
Smashed Baked Potatoes with Bacon
Introducing my new favourite baked potatoes recipe – Smashed Baked Potatoes with Bacon! They are full of flavour from all the spices and bacon, fluffy on the inside and as crispy or soft as you want them on the outside!
Ham & Cheese Christmas Tree
This Ham & Cheese Christmas Tree is easier to make than you might expect. You just need 5 ingredients to make it and 5-10 minutes to put it together. It’s a great pull-apart appetizer! Or, if you’re looking for something sweet instead, just fill it with Nutella / hazelnut spread.

We love using ground pork but other people use a mix of pork and […]
One-Pot Meat & Potato Dinner
This One-Pot Meat & Potato Dinner meal is easy to make and uses just five main ingredients. It’s a one-pot dish so you don’t have to worry about a pile of dirty dishes to wash after. You can make it with either pork of beef. I love its simplicity and taste!
Country-Style Pork Soup (Ciorba Taraneasca)
We’re back from our three-week vacation in Romania… we had a super busy schedule but can’t complain. We spent some quality time with our family & friends and visited many beautiful places – Danube Delta surpassed all! I have truly missed cooking and blogging but I’m ready to come back :). I have so many […]
Pork Tenderloin with Mushroom Stuffing
This is such a savory recipe with a moist and flavourful stuffing. I found the recipe on mushrooms.ca but I’ve modified it slightly by adjusting the ingredients to my taste (more mushrooms of course!) and adding white wine. Here’s the original recipe. We served it with mashed potatoes and my amazing Beet Salad. Time: 55 […]
