Amazing Coke Marinade turned Glaze

A couple of months ago, I read an article/blog about all the uses of coke. They ranged from quenching you thirst, obviously, to crazy ones like removing grease from your engine- freaky, I know. We all want the recipe to coke, because there is just something about that drink that drives people nuts over it….

[REVIEW] The Boss on 14th

The restaurant has changed names a lot. The last name I remember was Bife. It wasn’t there for a long time so when Boss on 14th popped up, I always said that I wanted to visit it. Well The Boss on 14th has been here for a while so that was a sign that something…

Hash out: The perfect start to the day

Sometimes all you need is 20 minutes a day to make a breakfast that good, you tell the world about it. The base of this meal and what makes it delicious is the simplified hash brown. No egg, or onion, you need to highlight, what I call, the best veggie ever, the potato. Just grate,…

Oh so delicious tomato soup #recipe

My go to soup. It’s a budget soup with a bougee twist. You can have it chilled in Summer but it tastes oh so delicious in Winter. This is the fresh batch I made today and am currently enjoying. The tomato needs to be chopped, salted, add pepper and olive oil. Then you have to…

#Recipe: Tasty Oven Mash

My recipe for mash potato always changes. Sometimes, I add tiny pieces of onion, sometimes, I substitute milk for cream but one thing always remains constant: Butter. I love adding butter (not margerine) to my mash and finishing it off in the oven allows for the melted butter caramelize to the point that it creates…

#Recipe: Hash Egg cups

Eggs and potato are among my most favourite things. Of course that list is pretty long since I love food and wine so much. But this is how I like my breakfasts warn, eggy and with something extra to make my heart super happy. While this sounds all cryptic, let me just cut to the…

Hash Egg Cups

Something is seriously wrong with me. I have been eating A LOT this past week which has its ups and downs. Downs, because my waistline is growing but ups because I am trying out new things. This hash egg cup was something I saw online, like pretty much all my food, and decided to try…

Jalapeño Scramble

Before I start the story behind this meal, I have to get the pronunciation of this word out the way. You order it at a restaurant and the waitress is like: “what? You mean ja-la-pe-no” and I’m like: “no, it’s ha-la-pe-no” I would like to say that a real Spanish speaking Mexican confirmed it so…

Eggs Benny in the morning

If you follow me on Twitter @ladyvera06, you’ll know that I have a love/hate relationship with this breakfast. I love eating it but I hate making it. English muffins. They’re so hard to find in my area but they are the foundation if this perfect breakfast. The salmon. So expensive. Only after payday can I…

My first shakshuka

I’ve wanted to make this meal for a very long time. I’ve watched videos, seen different variations and finally the situation presented itself where I could make it for my family. With everyone waking up late, I hurried to the kitchen to prepare this. I saw this variation online and because I have been looking…
