As soon as I tried The Greatest Dinner Rolls Ever, I knew this would happen.
Those buns were exactly the kind of soft, fluffy bread that would make an amazing cinnamon roll.
And oh yes, they did!
The best part? They’re really, really easy to make. They just take time … like any double-rising bread product.

So, as good as the soft, fluffy milk buns were, I found one that’s even BETTER!
I am a solid believer in Tangzhong now. The difference in the texture in the finished bun is major. They’re like the softest, most tender, amazing bakery buns you’ve ever bought in a store – except you made them yourself!
Yes, that’s a lot of hype – but the buns live up to it.

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t generally bake a lot of bread or bread-type products. I think it has to do with the time needed for dough to rise, then rise again. Makes it one of those things I can usually only get away with on a weekend.
Well, all this COVID-19 work-from-home isolation stuff makes more things possible. At least until my yeast runs out. Which will be very soon – and it’s very scarce on store shelves right now.
Anyway, we were making stew tonight, so I decided some soft, fluffy milk buns would be perfect with it. And I was RIGHT!

It’s no secret that I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE cheesecake.
Love it.
Have ever since I was old enough to remember that cheesecake is life. And I thought I was in a little slice of heaven when I discovered the wonderful things that could come out of an Instant Pot, like my Instant Pot Egg Nog Cheesecake.
Well, I may have created a tiny monster that’s even better.

My wife is from Indiana, near Chicago. So Chicago-style deep dish pizza is something we’re not exactly strangers to. Not a single trip to visit the family goes by without a trip to Beggar’s for a deep dish.
But it SUCKS only getting to sink your teeth into one a couple of times a year, y’know?
All hail our saviour, the cast iron pan!

There are lots of ways to eat lots of fish, but one of our favourite combos is Mahi Mahi in fish tacos! It’s a firm fish with a distinct flavour that gives you a satisfying bite.
Wrapped up in warm tortillas with sour cream, sriracha, salsa, and the crunch of coleslaw, they’re a tasty bite that’s pretty good for you too!
Fresh – and fishy!

Are you questioning my math skills? Well, frankly, I can’t say I blame you. But beer and whisky are two key ingredients any time I make pizza.
The beer is for the crust. I’ve tried many, but the absolute BEST for my crust is Waterloo Dark. I’ve tried lagers, IPAs, stouts, reds, even Guinness (my #2, if I was ranking them for pizza crust usage), but none have a flavour that carries through quite the way Waterloo Dark does. (Guinness a somewhat distant second.)

When you live with someone who is lactose-intolerant, you get used to a few things.
Milk = bad.
That’s one of them. A big one when it comes to some dishes, and especially when it comes to classic comfort foods like mac and cheese!

Who doesn’t love a little Chicken Alfredo?
There are several ways to go about it. Old school from scratch on the stove top works, but needs tending. You can dump a jar of Alfredo sauce from the store on top of some noodles. It works. OR do it from scratch with about the same ease as dumping the jar – in the Instant Pot!

I’ve always enjoyed a good stir fry. Chicken or beef normally .. but chicken generally wins.
But I have a confession – I normally cheat and just add a bottle of stir-fry sauce or teriyaki sauce from the store. But with a really short list of ingredients, I don’t have to do it anymore.
It literally takes a minute to toss together a tasty stir-fry sauce from scratch.
