I’ve got an entire meal cooked up for you today. Crispy skinned chicken thighs topped with my citrus spiked BBQ glaze and a charred corn salad. It’s well known that my favourite season is BBQ season because for me it lasts all year. You can find me cooking outside no matter how much snow is…

BBQ Jerk Chicken Pizza #GrillWithGrace
UPDATE: I’ve included the recipe for regular (non-jerk style) BBQ chicken in the notes section of the recipe as well! There is nothing more that I enjoy in the summer then grilling a meal outside. The kids can go crazy in the backyard, Bo can relax with Sophie on the daybed, and I can stand at…
Tilapia with Lobster Mornay Sauce
Tilapia topped with a creamy lobster mornay sauce and fresh veggies. This is my take on a recipe we used to order The Pickle Barrel in Toronto.
Jacked Up Brown Butter Maple Syrup
This is one of my favourite things to make on the weekend for french toast, waffles, and pancakes. I love the taste of melted butter on my carb heavy breakfasts, but when I’m cooking them, I’m also the last one to the table to eat, and everything is usually too cool to melt it. On a…
Bolognese Meat Sauce
Ok, I’ve watched a look of cooking shows, and read even more cookbooks. I always hear about Bolognese, real Bolognese, this magical meat sauce that’s simmered all day until it because a sweet, rich, “gravy” that just can not be beat. With a husband that loves his jar of Ragu, and hates any form of…
Anniversary Chicken (or Pan Seared Chicken Breasts with a Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Cream Sauce)
It’s ironic really that I call this Anniversary chicken, seeing as I was supposed to make it for our anniversary and instead we ordered pizza at nine at night once the kids were in bed. Happy five years hunny! Three weeks later though, I finally got around to making it. On a Monday night. When…
The hunt for the perfect pizza
I’ve been trying for a few years now to figure out a way to make the perfect, pizzeria style pizza at home. I’m slowly getting closer. My first few dough’s were almost more focaccia like (not what I was looking for), and while this one is the closest yet to what I’m aiming for, it…
Peppercorn Steak
I have to say this right off the get-go: Best steak I have ever eaten. And it wasn’t even a good steak. It was a horrible steak. It was cheap, not aged, didn’t have good marbling, too thin, and I let it rest a bit too long so it traveled past the medium that I…
Roma Tomato Pasta Sauce
Here’s a really quick and easy pasta sauce to make. Ok, so it might not be THAT quick, but it is pretty easy. I’m a little light on photos. Aunt Jen, Uncle Alex and Baki came over for a visit and I was already a horrible host by spending the whole afternoon, save a quick…
1 Minute Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce
Here in Canada honey mustard sauce for your chicken fingers is a real rarity. That’s one of the MANY reasons that I love our annual trip to Florida. That and Disney, I can’t get enough of Disney either. Imagine my surprise tonight then when I was able to make one in 30 seconds. And that…
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Home Made BBQ Sauce
You want to know what can take these from “Oh my god these are fantastic” all the way to “OMFG if I stop shoveling this into my mouth I will die” in two seconds flat? Garlic toasted buns. That’s right folks. Slather some garlic butter onto the buns before you toast them, maybe…
