Dude Food: Root Beer Pulled Pork Sliders

January 13, 2017 By Isabelle Boucher 11 Comments | Filed Under: main course, pork, sandwich, sponsored

Happiness comes in many forms for me. Sometimes it’s the simple stuff, like a page-turner of a book with a really satisfying ending, or that one sip of coffee that’s just the right temperature. And sometimes it’s the big stuff, like spending a week in Paris eating all of the cheese and drinking all of the wine, or finally getting a big project ready to go at work.

When it comes right down to it, though, my biggest source of happiness is all wrapped up in one person. The one guy who still makes my heart go pitter-patter after more than 10 years.

Sure, he has a bad tendency to lose track of time, he loads the dishwasher all wrong, and he doesn’t have six-pack abs… but he’s still perfect to me. He’s patient and kind, he tells wonderfully terrible jokes, and he’s pretty much the only thing that’s kept me sane through the crap life has thrown at me these last few weeks.Continue Reading

A Meating of the Minds: Never-Fail Eye of Round Roast

December 23, 2016 By Isabelle Boucher 6 Comments | Filed Under: 5 ingredients or less, beef, comfort food, main course, sponsored, winter

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Ontario Corn Fed Beef. Thanks for supporting the brands that help to keep the Crumb test kitchen running! All opinions are entirely my own, as always.

Once upon a time, long long ago, there was a girl who had no idea that not all steaks are created the same.

So she decided to buy a package of cheap eye of round (half the price of ribeye = twice as much beef… perfect for a hungry yet impoverished student!) and proudly cooked them up to a perfect medium-rare… only to have to spend a good 5 minutes chewing a very tough first bite.

Foolproof Eye of Round Roast

That girl has since learned that ribeye and strip loin are best for quick grilling, while eye of round requires a little more TLC. That said, it’s a cut of beef that’s well worth making friends with, because it’s both lean and flavourful (and conveniently easy on the budget, too!)Continue Reading

Short and Sweet: Soy-Braised Korean Short Ribs

December 14, 2016 By Isabelle Boucher 6 Comments | Filed Under: asian, beef, comfort food, main course, sponsored, winter

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Ontario Corn Fed Beef. Thanks for supporting the brands that help to keep the Crumb test kitchen running! All opinions are entirely my own, as always.

Winter took its sweet time coming along this year, but come it did, all snowy and blustery and cold.

And according to the 5-day forecast, it’s about to get even colder. Like, the kind of cold that will have me seriously considering quitting my job so I can move to Mexico for the next few months.Continue Reading
