Dave's Steak Sandwich

I have made steak sandwiches countless times trying to get it perfect! Usually I hear "Its good" or "I like it"
Dave orders steak sandwiches at every pub he goes to so when I made this sandwich and he said "This is honestly the best steak sandwich I have ever had" I screamed "YES!!! finally!!" so this steak sandwich is for Dave :)

Pizza Stone

One of my new favorite things for fall is the pizza stone.What could be better than a hot homemade pizza on a cold night?!

The purpose of the pizza stone is to distribute the heat evenly across the pizza as well as extract any moisture so that your pizza dough is crispy.  
Prices can range from $16 - $130 but I dont see a need to spend more than $50 for a good pizza stone.

Beef and Spinach Lasagna

What I love about this lasagna recipe is that it combines ground beef, pork and chicken or turkey. Italians (which I am not but who better to take recipe ideas from) are big on combining meat with poultry and it makes all the difference in creating an amazing meal! This is an excellent way to make meatballs as well. You will notice I do not pre-cook the lasagna noodles but that I do let it sit in the fridge overnight, I find this method allows the lasagna to set up nicer.

If you're one of those rare people who hasn't had the opportunity to visit Jimmy Ho's take out, in Kelowna, yet I am urging you to do so!

Corn Tortillas with grilled Corn & Coleslaw

This is an excellent vegan & gluten free Mexican recipe that my mom came up with. You could very easily add chicken, beef, pulled pork or fish if that is what you prefer.

My boyfriend caught a gorgeous Chinook salmon so I had to bbq it! What a perfect way to end the summer.
