The BEST Liver and Onions Recipe – Old-Fashioned Comfort Food That’s Easy to Make!

October 23, 2022 by Sylvia Rose Leave a Comment

This recipe for liver and onions is a comforting, old-fashioned dish that’s easy to make. It features bacon and gravy for a delicious, hearty meal.

Liver and onions is one of those classic dishes that seems to have fallen out of favour over the years. Even though it’s been lost on the palate of the younger generations, this traditional meal still has a lot to offer!

If you thought spinach was a superfood, you haven’t met liver. This variety meat is one of the most nutrient-dense foods around town. Brimming with vitamins A, B, and C, liver is also rich in iron, folate, and copper, to name a few (source).

Despite its rockstar status, not everyone likes liver. Made right, however, it stands a far better chance of making a regular appearance on the dinner table. Let’s get to it!

Maple Bourbon Pumpkin Pie (so good, you won’t want to share)

November 15, 2021 by Sylvia Rose Leave a Comment

This maple bourbon pumpkin pie is naturally sweetened and lightly spiked.  It makes for a fun twist on this holiday favourite!

If you’re a sucker for a good old-fashioned pumpkin pie, then you’re going to love this punched-up version. It’s rich, maple sweet and has just enough spice.

The bourbon takes it to a whole new level; a slight twist of orange livens things up. If the orange sounds weird to you, don’t worry, I was skeptical, too. It works, though, and it helps make this holiday classic top-notch.

Easy Sauerkraut & Bacon Quiche Recipe

October 18, 2021 by Sylvia Rose 7 Comments

This sauerkraut and bacon quiche recipe will tickle your tastebuds in the best possible way. It’s  super easy to make, too!

Quiche is a versatile dish that can be served at practically any meal. Leftover quiche makes a quick and easy breakfast, and no one is going to complain if there’s a fresh quiche at the brunch table. In the winter, eat it warm, just barely out of the oven. In summer, serve it cold to help beat the heat.

If you don’t welcome gluten in your life, turn it into a frittata, eliminating the crust to make it keto-friendly. And the flavour! Oh my gosh, it’s superb. Raw sauerkraut is tamed with smoky bacon, sauteed onions, and a hint of dry white wine.

I think you’re going to love this unique quiche recipe, but try it out and see for yourself…

Raclette Breakfast an Epic Way to Start the Day

October 4, 2021 by Sylvia Rose Leave a Comment

A raclette breakfast is a fun way to start the morning. It’s perfect for holidays, special occasions, and brunch parties. Get ready to dig in!

raclette for breakfast

Before breakfast raclette came into my life, eggs benedict was the ultimate special occasion breakfast. Dutch baby breakfasts and homemade Belgian waffles were close runner-ups. And it’s always a special morning when crepes are on the menu.

But raclette for breakfast…it’s a game-changer.

Whether you want to host a small party for brunch or create a new holiday tradition with your family, a raclette breakfast will not disappoint. I promise!

Dark Chocolate-Drizzled Almond Biscotti Recipe & Video

September 20, 2021 by Sylvia Rose 3 Comments

These crispy dark chocolate-drizzled almond biscotti are studded with almonds and are seriously addictive. Will you be able to stop at one?

It probably goes without saying, but biscotti are cookies. Italian cookies.

Biscotti also means twice baked, which is the secret behind their crispiness. They are baked not once, but twice.

Biscotti are also lower in sugar than most cookies, and I made this recipe just a tad bit healthier by cutting half of the flour with whole wheat.

But then I threw away its whole wheat virtues and had it mingle with dark chocolate.

I don’t normally drizzle or dip my biscotti in chocolate and I quickly discovered why.

Regular almond biscotti, without the chocolate treatment, last three times as long as their decorated brethren in my house.

If you’re not careful, yours will disappear, too.
