Meat

We eat a lot of vegetarian meals around here because we have a vegetarian in the house. Most of those can easily be made non-veg if you like, but we’re pretty flexitarian around here and also make a lot of meals where meat is the star of the show.

Dragon Chicken with Sesame Rice

Not gonna lie. This was all about the name for me. I mean… Dragon Chicken? How cool does that sound? Dragons are cool guys. I almost ran out to buy a blonde wig to channel my inner Daenerys to make this. Almost. But I was too hungry. I live in […]

Singapore Fried Rice with Egg and Bacon and Shrimp

Really doesn’t have anything to do with Singapore. What? That’s right friends. Singapore Fried Rice is not from Singapore. Weird. I know. But you know what? Make this dish and eat it and you’ll forget this was ever even an issue. This is an easy recipe for a one bowl […]

Salt and Pepper Chicken

Because I was craving S&P squid but I’m scared to cook squid. Seriously. Yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds. This super crispy restaurant style Salt and Pepper Chicken Recipe is even better than takeout. Why? Because there’s no transit time for it to cool off and lose some of […]

Ragu Spaghetti Sauce

And just like that… I’m back to pasta. Anyone else into the new Sex & The City series “And Just Like That…”?? Wouldn’t you like to watch it with a big bowl of this Ragu Spaghetti Sauce??? The answer is yes. Yes you would. And a big glass of red. […]

Enchiladas with Green Sauce

These Enchiladas with Green Sauce are made with a super EASY homemade green sauce that requires nothing more than some pantry ingredients you probably already have on hand. That’s right friends, a green enchilada recipe with no tomatillos required. That may not sound like a big deal to you where […]

Turkey Pot Pie with Puff Pastry

This skillet Turkey Pot Pie with Puff Pastry is the best thing to happen to leftover turkey since… well.. ever. The creamy, rich filling is so full of flavour from wine and vegetables and herbs. And it’s all sealed under a crispy cap of buttery, rich puff pastry that you, […]

Udon Stir Fry with Turkey and Green Beans

This Udon Stir Fry is all about the textures for me. It checks all the boxes. Sweet… salty… a little chew from the noods… very very yummy. Everyone around here loves this dish and I love making it. I mean, who doesn’t love a one pan meal? My secret weapon […]

Red Wine & Balsamic Marinated Strip Steak With Tarragon Butter

Steak with Tarragon Butter. Because if you aren’t putting butter on your steak what are you even doing with your life??? Holy. Yum. This is the best steak I’ve had in a very long time. And it’s not even a rib eye!! It’s even got me thinking that strip steak might […]

Spicy Mini Turkey & Sausage Meatball Linguine with Tomato Sauce and Bocconcini

My goal was to make these turkey meatballs as tiny as these bocconcini balls. My lack of patience and low tolerance for fiddly things made them the size you see here. You can make them smaller if you are a better person than I am. And please invite me over if […]

Buttermilk Brined Pork Chops with Blueberry Rhubarb Balsamic Sauce

“Pork chops like these are just about as good as a steak”. Direct quote. My husband. For real.I don’t know what else there is to say. Oh yes! Yes I do. The sauce!! I’m a sweet & salty girl and this really does it for me. Sweet, tangy… perfect with […]

About Me

Hi friend, I'm Joni!

Welcome to my site! I'm a self-taught, home cook who pretty much lives in the kitchen. Or with my nose in a cookbook. Cooking is my passion, my obsession, my very favourite thing. I make a lot of really good comfort food with creative twists and bolder flavours. My food is slightly elevated but isn't too fussy. I'm not here to teach you how to cook, I'm here to inspire you, to show you something new and really, really good. And to make you hungry. In my home, in The Pypers Kitchen, this is what we eat. Want to know more about me?
