How To Get Rid Of Excess Beer Foam In Seconds

Sabbir Digital/Shutterstock If your freshly poured glass of beer is half foam and half beer, you could either take a deep sip that covers your face in beer bubbles or wait for the froth to settle down. The latter option could have you waiting for a while, since the bubbles are quite sturdy and persist for longer than the ones in soda. Excessive beer foam can be more of a menace than you realize. The phenomenon of foam gushing out of a beer bottle when it’s opened baffled the beer industry, and scientists … Read more

Maple Turkey Breakfast Sausage – Leels Cooks

I’m a terrible person and I almost always buy those frozen turkey patties. They’re cheap, low calorie and zero effort. Even though I have years of experience and can cook almost anything, I’m an extremely lazy cook. These are fairly low effort for a high pay off and as a lazy person, I absolutely recommend giving these Maple Turkey Breakfast Sausages a go. They’re savoury, a tiny bit sweet and have a bit of kick to them. Make them any size you want, freeze em raw or cooked, or just cave and eat them all like I did.   What you … Read more

How To Measure A Cocktail In Parts

Maksym Fesenko/Shutterstock Watching mixologists or skilled bartenders (there is a difference) can leave you shaking your head in wonder. They seem like they’re tossing ingredients together willy-nilly, but their expertise comes from knowing exactly how much of each ingredient to use. So how do they do it so quickly and on the fly? They are most likely thinking in terms of parts, such as one part vodka and two parts bitters. If you’re suddenly thinking, “Oh no, math,” don’t worry; you don’t need to be a math whiz to understand parts. The wording is … Read more

Spiced Candied Pumpkin Seeds – Leels Cooks

It’s the time of year where I crave comforting foods and spiced/toasted flavours. I love roasting my own nuts and seeds and this is my favourite lazy way to make “candied” seeds for snacking on. These are even great on salads or squash soups. You get crunch from the toasted pumpkin seeds, sweetness and crackly crumble from the brown sugar, warm spices and the perfect hint of salt to balance it all out. This is not a proper way to work with sugar or candy anything – so no worries about candy thermometers and balancing temperature. Just a lovely crunchy … Read more

How to Can Frozen Fruit – Food in Jars

Looking to learn more about how to can frozen fruit for the February Community Canning Challenge? Continue reading for some helpful advice! The February Community Canning Challenge is to gather up your frozen fruit and get it out of the deep freeze and transform it into something that is delicious and ready to use. I’m not suggesting that you gather up all your smoothie ingredients and turn them into jam, but instead go for the things that you tucked away during the height of the summer growing season with the intention of doing something with it later. That later is … Read more

The Light, Crispy Secret Behind Duff Goldman’s Cheeseburger Buns

Sterling Munksgard/Shutterstock Chef Duff Goldman sure knows how to make a burger bun. That’s good news because some would say that the bun is the most important part of a burger. After all, the bun is key to holding that juicy burger together. Not only that, but depending on the type of bun you pick, it can add a delicious buttery taste or a delightful crunchy texture. That said, there are several things to consider when selecting a burger bun. First off, it can’t be too thin, otherwise, it won’t be able … Read more

Cheeseburger Tot Casserole – Leels Cooks

I love tots. Very, seriously, deeply love them. They’re probably my favourite potato preparation, with spicy curly fries and mash coming in 2nd and 3rd. Just something about those crisp little gems and how well they hold up to being topped with crazy things. Totchoes? Chili tots? CHEESEBURGER TOTS? There are a few recipes out there for cheeseburger tots, but they usually call for only about 3 ingredients and one of them is a can of condensed soup. We can do better, and we did! This dish is still rich, savory, and deeply beefy. We lighten it up by serving … Read more

The Leftovers You Should Always Take From A Restaurant

Eugene Mymrin/Getty Images Few questions are as difficult to answer as “do you want a box for that?” in a restaurant setting. “Have you dined with us before?” Whether yes or no, the whole schema will more or less remain the same. “Still or sparkling?” Neither! Tap is fine. “Will that be a wet or dry martini?” This could not get any easier. But negotiating the difference between leftovers and food scraps, evaluating the future use you might get out of whatever remains on the plate versus its eventual prep time and … Read more

Mazeudon with Chicken & Miso Butter – Leels Cooks

Maze-what you say? I recently went on a bit of a vacation back to the motherland (Vancouver, BC Canada) and tried a dish called Mazesoba at Kokoro Tokyo Mazesoba in downtown Vancouver.  It’s a relatively new dish (not that new), and is only just arriving to some places in North America. My first one! Noodles, chashu pork, green onion, garlic, chinese chives, nori and dried fish powder. #yolkporn What is it? The name basically means mixed noodles, called either abura soba or mazesoba, (mazemen or mazeudon if you’re calling out specific types). Noodles, generally thick, served with a variety of … Read more

When Does Aldi Restock?

Kenwiedemann/Getty Images Aldi stands out as the cheapest grocery store in America, and it’s filled with not just affordable produce, meats, and pantry staples but award-winning wines and unique Aldi Finds that are rotated weekly. However, even if you’ve shopped at Aldi for years, it’s likely there are still many things about the grocery chain you don’t know, such as their restocking schedule. Although Aldi states they get deliveries of fresh produce daily, other deliveries are more ambiguous. While many Aldi locations get pallets of goods daily, what’s in these deliveries can vary. However, these pallets are usually … Read more
