One-Pot Braised Beef Rigatoni
Not gonna lie—doing dishes is my least favourite part of cooking. So if I can pack all the flavour into one pot? Say less. This one’s cozy, hearty, and hit just right with the cold weather lately.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
• 2 lbs Chuck Roast
• 1 large Carrot, diced
• 2 stalks Celery, diced
• 1 large White Onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
• 4 cups Beef Broth
• 4 cups Crushed Tomatoes
• 1 cup Water
• 2 sprigs Thyme
• 2 sprigs Rosemary
• 3 Bay Leaves
• 500g Rigatoni
• 2 tbsp Salt
• 1 tbsp Black Pepper
• ½ bunch Basil
• 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
• 1 cup Parmesan Cheese
Method:
Cut the beef into large, even chunks and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large Dutch pot over medium-high heat with a splash of oil, then sear the beef on all sides. Once browned, remove and set aside.
In the same pot, toss in your carrots, celery, onion, and garlic—sauté for 2–3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and let it cook down with the veg for another 2–3 minutes. Pour in the broth, crushed tomatoes, water, and toss in your thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Bring it all to a simmer, then return the beef to the pot.
Let that low-simmer magic happen for 2 hours, until the meat is fall-apart tender. Once done, take it off the heat and let it cool slightly. Shred the beef, then stir it back into the sauce. Fold in your cooked rigatoni, then finish with cheese, parsley, and basil.
Serve hot. Comfort in a bowl.

This is comfort food at its finest - an elevated take on that nostalgic boxed classic, all made from scratch in one pot. Made with local dairy, it’s cheesy, creamy, and loaded with flavor. It’s the kind of dish you’ll want on repeat this fall. The best part? It comes together in under 30 minutes with simple ingredients.
Recipe⬇️⬇️⬇️
Ingredients
● ½ package macaroni noodles (about 200 g)
● 1 lb medium ground beef
● 1 small onion, diced
● 3 cloves garlic, minced
● 2 tbsp tomato paste
● 1 tsp paprika
● ½ tsp cayenne (optional, for heat)
● 1 tsp dried thyme
● 1 tsp Italian seasoning
● Salt & black pepper, to taste
● 2 cups beef broth
● 2 cups local milk
● ¼ cup local butter, diced
● 1 ½ cups shredded local cheddar cheese
● 1 tbsp oil (for cooking)
Method
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic; sauté until fragrant.
Add ground beef and cook until browned.
Stir in tomato paste, cooking it down for 1–2 minutes.
Add paprika, cayenne, thyme, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
Pour in beef broth and local milk, then stir in macaroni. Cover and cook on medium-low heat for 10–12 minutes, stirring halfway to prevent sticking.
Once pasta is tender, stir in diced local butter until melted and creamy.
Add shredded local cheddar cheese, mixing until smooth and cheesy.
Taste, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve hot.

One-Pot braised beef Rigatoni
I’ve never been a fan of doing the dishes after I cook so whenever you can get just as much flavour into a single pot, I’m in. And this was perfect for this cold weather we’ve been having.
Recipe;
Ingredients:
2lbs Chuck Roast
1 large Carrot diced
2 stalks Celery diced
1 large white Onion diced
3 cloves Garlic
2 tablespoons Tomato paste
4 cups Beef broth
4 cups Crushed tomatoes
1 cup Water
2 sprigs Thyme
2 sprigs Rosemary
3 Bay leaf
500g package Rigatoni pasta
2 tablespoons Salt
1 tablespoon black Pepper
1/2 bunch Basil
2 tablespoons fresh Parsley chopped
1 cup Parmesan cheese
Method;
Slice beef into large even sized chunks and season throughly with salt and pepper. Get a large Dutch pot on medium high heat and add your vegetable oil. Sear your beef on all sides then remove from pot and set aside. To the same pot add your vegetables and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring. Add tomato paste and allow that to continue to cook with the vegetables for 2-3 minutes. Add your broth, crushed tomato, water, thyme, rosemary and bay leaves and bring this to a simmer. Add your seared beef back in and allow to simmer on low heat for 2 hours. Once meat is tender remove from heat and allow to cool. While still warm remove beef from pot and shred meat. Add it back to the sauce and add your cooked pasta. Stir until fully combined then add cheese, parsley, and basil to finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!!

#ad Backyard Jalapeno Smash Burger!
Double smash patties, cheddar cheese, butter-toasted brioche buns, jalapeños and shaved onions — and to tie it all together, Heinz.
This is what I mean when I say a burger shouldn’t be complicated. Just proper ingredients treated right, no overthinking.
And for me, no matter how I build it, Heinz is always that finishing touch. It’s what brings everything together and turns it into a proper burger.

Chocolate Cream Pie with Cookie Crust, Caramel, and Flaky Salt
A celebration of rich chocolate, flaky salt, and high quality dairy, produced right here in Ontario.
Ingredients
Crust:
24 cookies (with filling)
5 tbsp (70g) local unsalted butter, melted
Chocolate Filling:
3 large eggs
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 cup local whole milk
1 cup local heavy cream
400g bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
Topping:
1 cup local heavy cream
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Flaky sea salt, to finish
Caramel sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
1. Make the Crust
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Crush cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor.
Mix with melted butter until evenly combined.
Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish.
Bake for 8–10 minutes. Let cool completely.
2. Make the Chocolate Filling
In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, milk, and cream until smooth.
Place the bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water (double boiler).
Whisk constantly and heat the mixture until it reaches 167°F (75°C) — thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Immediately pour the hot custard over the 400g chopped chocolate in a separate bowl.
Let sit for 1–2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
Stir in vanilla and salt.
Pour into the cooled crust. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and chill until fully set, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Twice baked, fully loaded, and not here to play. Cheese, bacon, green onions, sour cream — the kind of side dish that steals the spotlight
Ingredients,
3 Russet potatoes
1/4 cup heavy Cream
3 tablespoons Sour cream
2 tablespoons Butter
1/2 bunch Green onions sliced
1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese - grated
5 strips Bacon
2 teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoon Black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Method;
Rinse your potatoes under cold running water. Preheat oven to 400f. Place potatoes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Using a fork carefully make several holes through the skin of your potatoes. Coat them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, bake for 60-70 minutes depending on size. On a parchment lined baking tray lay out your bacon and bake for approximately 15 minutes at 400f or until crispy. Once cooked and cooled, slice into bits. Once potatoes are cooked allow to cool for five minutes then slice the top off and carefully scoop out the potato into a bowl. This part is optional but I like to rice them at this point for a smoother texture. Then we add warm cream and butter, green onion, sour cream, bacon, cheese, salt and pepper. Mix well with a spatula then put this back inside the potato skins. Once filled top with more cheese and bake at 400f for another 15minutes. When they come out top with sour cream, bacon, and green onions for garnish. Enjoy!! 😉

Hot Chocolate–Soaked Chocolate Cake
This cake borrows the soaking technique of tres leches and applies it to hot chocolate. With the magic ingredients of local milk, cream and butter the result is an extremely moist chocolate cake that absorbs a rich cocoa soak and finishes with a smooth chocolate ganache.
Ingredients
3 large eggs
1 cup Ontario 2% milk
¾ cup unsalted Ontario butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 cup granulated sugar
1½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Method
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter and line a baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, and melted butter until completely smooth.
Place a fine-mesh sieve over the bowl and sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda.
Whisk gently until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
While the cake is still warm, poke holes evenly across the surface using a skewer or chopstick.
Hot Chocolate Soak
Ingredients
2 cups Ontario 2% milk
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
Combine milk, sugar, and cocoa powder in a saucepan.
Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thick and glossy.
Remove from heat and whisk in butter and vanilla until fully incorporated.
Slowly pour the hot chocolate over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in gradually.
Let the cake rest until all liquid has been absorbed.
Chocolate Ganache Topping
Ingredients
7 oz semi-dark chocolate, chopped (about 1¼ cups)
¾ cup heavy cream
Method
Add chocolate and cream to a stainless steel bowl.
Place the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water.
Stir occasionally until fully melted, smooth, and glossy.
Pour or spread over the soaked cake and let set slightly before serving.
Serve slightly warm or fully chilled. The cake should be intensely moist, rich, and almost pudding-like.

Barbie Fry Chicken — Jamaican style.
Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, finished in a rich jerk BBQ glaze. Bold flavor, no shortcuts.
I grabbed everything I needed from Real Canadian Superstore through DoorDash — quick, easy, and straight to my door. That way, I could focus on what I do best: the food.
@doordashca @realcanadiansuperstore
For the Chicken:
* 5 whole chicken legs (separated into drumsticks and thighs)
* 2 tablespoons dry jerk seasoning
* 1 tablespoon all-purpose seasoning
* 1 tablespoon green seasoning
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 1 teaspoon black pepper
For the Sauce:
* 1 cup ketchup
* 1 cup barbecue sauce
* 1 tablespoon green seasoning
* 1 tablespoon dry jerk seasoning
For Dredging:
* 3 cups all-purpose flour
* ½ cup water
For Frying:
* 1 liter vegetable oil
Method
1. Prepare the chicken
Separate the chicken legs into individual drumsticks and thighs. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Season the chicken
In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken along with dry jerk seasoning, all-purpose seasoning, green seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat each piece evenly. Cover and let marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
3. Prepare the dredging station
In one bowl, add the flour. In a separate bowl, pour the water (you can add a tablespoon or two of the marinade for extra flavor if desired).
4. Dredge the chicken
Take each piece of chicken and coat it in the flour, then dip it in the water, and return it to the flour for a second coat. Shake off excess and place on a tray. Let sit for 5–10 minutes to help the coating adhere.
5. Heat the oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
6. Fry the chicken
Fry the chicken in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for approximately 10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Remove and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
7. Make the sauce
In a medium sized bowl, combine ketchup, barbecue sauce, green seasoning, and dry jerk seasoning. Stir to combine.

Oxtail Grilled Cheese
When your late-night cravings meet a little Caribbean soul 🇯🇲🧀🔥. I ordered oxtail from my favorite local spot, and the rest of the items from my local NoFrills, through @doordash_ca, pulled it off the bone, and turned it into the most dangerous grilled cheese you’ll ever meet. Comfort food but make it proper.
Ingredients
Braised oxtail (ordered in from your local Caribbean spot on @doordash_ca)
Brioche bread
Cheddar cheese (shredded or sliced)
Butter
Order: DoorDash your favorite Caribbean oxtail. Gently warm it so the meat shreds easily.
Shred: Pull the meat off the bone.
Butter bread: Spread one side of each brioche slice with butter.
Build: Unbuttered side down → cheddar → shredded oxtail → a little more cheddar → top with the second slice, buttered side out.
Toast low & slow: Medium-low heat, heavy pan. Cook 3–4 min per side, pressing lightly until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
Rest & slice: Let it sit 1 minute, then cut on the bias.
Pro tip
After searing, sprinkle a small handful of cheese directly in the pan, let it melt into a thin layer, then press your grilled cheese back onto it. Cook until crisped for a cheese-crusted finish. 🔥🧀

Seafood Pasta
Seared scallops, shrimp, fresh herbs, a little chili, and spaghetti tossed in all that garlicky, lemony goodness. Quick to make, but it hits like something you’d order at your favorite spot.
I grabbed everything from Real Canadian Superstore using DoorDash. It’s kind of wild how much easier it makes things — fresh ingredients delivered fast, so all I had to focus on was cooking.
@realcanadiansuperstore @doordash_ca
Recipe:
Ingredients;
1lb sea scallops
1lb black tiger shrimp 16/20
3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon chilli flakes
parsley - chopped
chives - chopped
1 lemon
2 tablespoons salt (for pasta water and for sauce)
¼ cup olive oil
410g package spaghetti
Method:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the scallops until golden on each side, about 1–2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, sear the shrimp until just pink and lightly browned, about 1–2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside with the scallops.
Lower the heat to medium and add a bit more olive oil to the pan. Sauté the minced garlic until soft and fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.
Add chili flakes and cracked black pepper to the pan. Cook for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
Stir in the chopped parsley and chives. Cook for 1 more minute, stirring to combine the flavors.
Season the herb mixture with lemon juice and a generous pinch of salt. Stir to deglaze the pan slightly.
Return the cooked scallops and shrimp to the pan, tossing gently to coat them in the herb and garlic mixture.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan along with a splash of reserved pasta water if needed. Toss everything together until the pasta is fully coated and the seafood is evenly distributed.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon, salt, or pepper if needed. Serve immediately with a drizzle of olive oil and extra herbs if desired.

Super easy beef + cheese lasagna — layers of rich beef ragu, silky béchamel, and way too much mozzarella + parm. Comfort food done right — slow-braised flavor, but weeknight simple.
Golden, bubbly, and just ridiculous.
Save this one for your next Sunday dinner.
Recipe,
Ingredients:
• 4–6 strips bacon, diced
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 1–2 carrots, diced
• 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1½ lb ground beef
• 3–4 cups marinara or tomato sauce
• 1 sprig fresh basil
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• Salt + black pepper, to taste
• 9–12 lasagna sheets (fresh or dry, parboiled if needed)
• 2 cups mozzarella, shredded
• ½ cup parmesan, grated
Béchamel Sauce:
• 4 tbsp butter
• 4 tbsp flour
• 3 cups milk (warm)
• Salt + black pepper
• Pinch of nutmeg
Method:
1. Render bacon in a large pan until crispy. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same pan, sauté onion, celery, carrot in olive oil until soft, 6–8 min. Add garlic, cook 1 min more.
3. Add ground beef, season, and brown well. Add bacon back in, then stir in tomato sauce, basil, and oregano. Simmer gently 45–60 min until rich and thick.
4. Meanwhile, make the béchamel: melt butter, whisk in flour for 1–2 min, slowly add warm milk, and whisk until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
5. To assemble, layer in a baking dish: beef ragu → pasta sheets → béchamel → mozzarella + parmesan. Repeat until full, finishing with cheese on top.
6. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35–40 min.
7. Uncover and bake another 15–20 min until golden and bubbly.
8. Rest 45–60 min before slicing so it holds its shape.
