One snowy morning at 6:58 a.m., Dad started frying beef like it was bacon. The sizzle was sharp, the onions were sweet, and the whole kitchen smelled way too good for that hour. By evening, those leftovers morphed into my first pot of Beef and Macaroni Soup. Cozy, filling, and, honestly, the kind of dinner […]
There was this one night—after a snowstorm dumped so much snow on our street that the plow gave up—I made this Philly Cheesesteak Pasta with what I had on hand. No buns? No problem. Pasta to the rescue. My partner had just come in from shoveling (his toque frozen stiff), and I tossed this creamy, […]
