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.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
“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 […]
Greek Yogurt Marinated Chicken is the best chicken. I said it. The BEST chicken. Oh my goodness these chicken skewers are good… and this sauce… if you hear someone tell me to stop hitting the sauce it’s very likely not because I’m drunk, but because I have face planted into […]
Cauliflower for one kid. Chicken for the other. And everybody loves orzo… but creamy lemon orzo??? Winner winner bowl food dinner!! So many delicious flavours going on here, super easy to make and a great way to please the whole fam. I really believe that bowl meals are the key […]
These saucy bbq ribs are going to be on the menu here all summer long. I’m so happy to see grilling season again and even though the weather here is supposed to be absolute garbage this weekend, these ribs are so good that I’m still willing to send my husband […]
Like Friday night takeout but better, and possibly even faster. This Easy Skillet Cashew Chicken takes all of about 20 minutes from start to finish, and it is delish! My husband loves to order Cashew Chicken with Yellow Bean Sauce when we go out for Chinese. Bites of chicken in […]
Making this Beef and Broccoli Chow Mein was… interesting… Pop quiz: What are you NOT supposed to put on a grease fire? You said water right? You’re right. I knew that too. Which is funny because what did I do when some old grease caught on fire in the bbq? […]
I have a new obsession friends… it’s called Spicy Dill Pickle Chips. Have you seen them? Lordy they are going to be the end of me. And guess what else is interesting?? After eating ridiculous amounts of these delicious chips straight up I thought it might be good to coat […]
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.
