The other day, I overheard a conversation in the coffee aisle at the grocery store: Woman 1: “Why does everything come in salted caramel flavor these days?” Woman 2: “Uhhhhh, have you TASTED it?” I had to laugh, because seriously. If you’ve tasted anything made with the popular salted caramel flavor you’re probably firmly on the bandwagon. And who can blame you? There are SO many ways to incorporate this sweet and salty combination in desserts and yes, even cocktails!...

For some reason I’ve been missing my mom like crazy lately. (For those of you new to Wine & Glue, my mom passed away more than 7 years ago after battling breast cancer for 5 years.) It must be because life feels so stressful right now. Work, sick kids, cabin fever, just life . . . It always just makes me want to call my mom and complain. I mean vent....

Seafood Salad is one of my weaknesses. You will note, that as a food blogger and generally weird person, I have odd weaknesses. Croutons, Spicy V8, and pickles are also on the list. While it is so simple to buy Seafood Salad from the grocery store deli, I would urge you to make your own instead. It is so incredibly easy and a recipe that you will fall in love with....

Last week I was complaining to Eric because I hurt my back doing yoga. (I know. I’m like 28 going on 75. Pathetic.) I’ve never really hurt my back before, so I had a lot of complaining-ground to cover. “Eric, I can’t sit.” “Eric, I can’t stand.” “Eric, it really hurts, why does it hurt so bad??” Then I apologized for being a big fat whiner, and he said, “You’re not fat....

Storing and Reheating Leftovers Store any leftover spinach and artichoke chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat in the microwave or in a skillet over low heat until heated through. Serve with fresh or reheated pasta. Always use your best discretion when storing and reheating leftovers. This creamy Spinach Artichoke Chicken is the perfect example. We pan fry chicken cutlets and then sauté onions and garlic to start a delicious and creamy sauce....

The other day I was at the zoo with some friends and mentioned that I was stopping at Ikea on the way home to pick up a bookcase we needed. My friend Kim looked at my two kids that I had with me (a baby and a 4 year old) and said, “How are you going to carry it all?” It’s incredible to me that I’ve been a mom for 10 years now and I still don’t think this stuff through....

This morning I ambitiously decided to blow all the leaves and debris off my back porch, and I definitely got my hair stuck in the leaf blower. Stuck for real. Like, sit hunched over for 15 minutes to untangle my hair stuck. I’m not often motivated to do yard work on a random weekday, but when I am, it’s always right after I’ve washed and straightened my hair. So dumb, right?...

Made with pre-cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken is perfect), you can prep this meal in just 15 minutes! Bake it now or store it in the fridge until you need it. I decided to top this chicken and wild rice casserole with crispy french fried onions, and I’m pretty sure that’s one of the best decisions I’ve made lately! This casserole turned out amazing and disappeared very quickly from my kitchen after I photographed it....

Egg Salad is a classic lunchtime favorite. I ate many egg salad sandwiches growing up, and while I always liked them, I just knew that this basic recipe could be tweaked slightly to make it extra good. Of course, my egg salad recipe starts with hard-boiled eggs. The yolks are blended with mayo and seasonings to make a fluffy filling, and the diced egg whites are folded in. Celery and green onion add a bit of crunch, while fresh dill gives the salad a little something special....

Pulled pork in the Instant Pot is one of my favorite ways to make this classic comfort food. I get that there is a time and place for low and slow cooking, but even my Instant Pot ribs are unmatched using this method! There is nothing like using a pressure cooker to tenderize the meat so that it not only imparts an incredible flavor that permeates into every fiber but also makes it tender, juicy, and fall apart like nothing you’ve ever tried....

This post was sponsored by Canadian Turkey but all opinions are my own. I only write about and recommend products I use and love myself. When it comes to feeding my family, I like to go easy on myself. It’s not that I don’t enjoy feeding loved ones with rich palate-pleasing favourites, but I’d rather spend my time with them enjoying simple, yet equally delicious food made in minutes. Often, in times like these, my keyword, or should I say keywords, are QUICK and SIMPLE – and this dry turkey curry absolutely fits the bill!...

This recipe is truly the best ever mushroom and lentil shepherd’s pie. This is vegan comfort food at its best!

I love giving you meals that allow you to dabble in vegetarianism, so you can get some of those benefits, even if it’s no how you want to change your whole diet. This meal is the perfect example. It is vegetarian, but would be loved by even the most avid meat eater. Make the pasta. Boil the noodles for two minutes less than the time stated on the box. Drain the pasta and set aside....

Tenderizing chicken with plain yogurt is a well-known technique in the Middle Eastern and Indian cuisines. A great example is this Lebanese Shish Tawook recipe that I make ALL the time! Chicken is covered in tangy yogurt that is seasoned with dried herbs and warm spices, and kept in the fridge for at least 4 hours and preferably overnight, then it’s cooked right on the grill, in a skillet, or baked in the oven....

About this Easy Air fryer Baked Sweet Potato Our family loves potatoes and they could literally eat them for every single meal a day - I really mean it! However, I like to strike a balance and give them a healthy superfood vegetable like Sweet Potato in their diet in some form or the other. Sweet potatoes are packed with Vitamin C and fibre and a super-easy way to sneak into the diet....

This Air Fryer Grilled Cheese recipe is the perfect solution. The air fryer does all of the babysitting, so you end up with a perfect grilled cheese sandwich every time. Colby: This is my pick for grilled cheese. It is an American cheese with mild flavor and creamy texture. Perfect for a melty and classic grilled cheese sandwich. American Cheese: Walk away from the slices in plastic. You can still get great American cheese that is perfect for melting....

This is a healthy dinner the whole family will love! Tender and juicy almond-crusted chicken, paired with homemade basil pesto pasta. Then sprinkle with cheese and broil! My kids asked for this as leftovers the next day but it was already gone. Yesterday I woke up, put my feet on the floor, and noticed a brown spot on my toe that’s never been there before. It looked like a mole had developed overnight and I started freaking out....

The day I found out McDonald’s came to India – many, many years ago, I wanted to instantly drop in and give it a try. Not because I couldn’t live without the dreaded Big Mac, but because I knew what usually happens to any international food chains that try to make their presence in the county. They automatically take on the desi avatar on landing! One look at the menu on the wall, and I knew exactly why the place was filled not with college-going-trying-to-ape-the-west-as-best-as-possible youngsters, but also the timid looking grandma prying open her fancy looking sandwich!...
