Chicken & Bacon Pot Pie

Our Gastropost Mission this week started as a joke on Facebook, after they asked us to guess the next ______ vs. ______ Mission. Someone guessed Bacon vs. Everything Else, and they loved it so much it became the Mission for the week. I love it! The vs. Missions are my favourite, and I love a […]

Ginger Cashew Lettuce Wraps

January 9, 2013 Chicken & Turkey
Turkey Lettuce Wraps

You may have already guessed this, but it’s pretty rare that I cook the same thing twice, especially when it comes to weeknight dinners. I wouldn’t say I have anything even close to a regular rotation of recipes, since I’m constantly bookmarking and pinning new things to try. But every once and a while, I’ll […]

Faux Fried Chicken + Brown Sugar Bacon Waffles

January 19, 2012 Chicken & Turkey

It’s been well documented that I love awards shows over here on Planet Byn, and that I consider the Golden Globes to be the Superbowl of award season. Of course, delicious eats are in order to watch the red carpet and ponder the reasons why Jessica Biel decided to wear her great-great-great-great grandmother’s wedding dress.

Chicken Enchiladas & Spanish Rice

January 5, 2012 Chicken & Turkey

The last time I made enchiladas must have been about eight years ago. I was trying to re-create what I was frequently eating at Mexican chain restaurants near my office, and the version I came up with (pieced together from a few recipes on allrecipes.com) was okay, but I remember it being very messy and time […]

Slowcooker Chicken Tikka Masala

January 2, 2012 Chicken & Turkey

Happy 2012 all! I love January, because even though I don’t believe in New Years resolutions, I love the re-set that comes with the beginning of the year.

Arroz Con Pollo, Jay-Z + Eat to the Beat

November 20, 2011 Chicken & Turkey

There are a few topics to address in this post, so let’s just start with the elephant in the room. I’m white. I’m female. I grew up (and live) in the suburbs. And yes, I love hip-hop. To most people in my world, this is no big deal. However, some people I’ve come across in my life have been […]

BBQ Chicken Sandwiches + PC Brainwashing + New Dining Room Table

July 3, 2011 Chicken & Turkey

I’m a little bit embarrassed to admit this, but after that episode of Top Chef Canada a few weeks ago, I made a special trip to Loblaws. Yes, I was totally brainwashed Since I have a Metro right across the street, as well as in the same mall as my gym, I don’t really do […]

Slowcooker Shredded Buffalo Chicken

March 23, 2011 Chicken & Turkey

Before I get into posting about the gluttony that took place last weekend at the blog-iversary party, here’s a quick post about some very versatile shredded chicken. I saw this recipe in the January issue of Everyday Food, and it grabbed my attention, specifically because of the buffalo-ness of it all, plus the fact that […]

Spicy Baked Sweet Potato Wedges & Turkey Burgers

February 15, 2010 Chicken & Turkey

Do you have certain dishes that you make so regularly, you just assume everyone else eats them all the time too? That’s how I ended up in Lydia & Andrew’s kitchen last summer teaching them how to make Sweet Pototo Wedges. Lydia claimed that she couldn’t make them. Um, huh? Scrub, slice, toss, bake! That’s it! But […]
