Korean Beef Bulgogi
When you teach ESL students and host them at your home, knowing some of their traditional dishes sometimes helps with homesickness.

We have a wide variety of dishes like Shepherd's Pie, lasagna, … [Read more...]

Living on a Beef Farm – Why do we do it?
With all the social media shares on agriculture that have come about with the #farm365 movement started by Andrew Campbell (aka: @FreshAirFarmer), it's great that farmers have a voice and are able to share the realities of farming. @NurseLovesFarmr has been a long-standing #agvocate and it's great to see so many others out there sharing and supporting.

Beef Bulgogi
One of our favourite dishes in our house is Korean Beef Bulgogi. Hubby just got me a meat slicer for Christmas and we tested it out last night! I'm a bit scared of super sharp blades (the meat slicer looks like a table saw). Okay, I am extremely accident prone. Hubby was the one who took on the slicing job and I just made the Bulgogi marinade and cooked our supper. … [Read more...]
#LoveCDNBeef The 411 on Steaks
A steak is a steak is a steak, right? Wrong.I actually had no clue about all the different cuts of beef until I married a beef farmer. I'm always surprised at all the new things I learn each day. Okay, the fact that I didn't eat meat for much of my adult life could possibly account for my lack of knowledge when it comes to cuts of beef. This said, in the past few years, I … [Read more...]

Spreading the Canadian Beef Luv #LoveCDNBeef
Many of you know that I'm a beef farmer's wife. Farming hasn't always been a part of my life. I'm a city girl gone country. Okay, trying to go country.

Homemade Kimchi
Mmmm. There's nothing better than homemade kimchi. You won't believe how easy it is to make!

Venison Bulgogi
Yes, you read correctly! Venison Bulgogi! It was only until I moved to the Island that I first tried venison. I had never eaten venison before, simply because it A) wasn't part of the cuisine in the countries my parents are from and B) it wasn't a common type of meat that was popular or readily available in our local grocery stores. My mom also didn't like game meat, … [Read more...]

Taiwanese Night at Buoys Eatery
When I moved to Manitoulin Island in 2004, aside from my friends and family, one of the only things I missed the most was the variety of different types of cuisine available. In order for me to enjoy international cuisine, I had to cook it myself. Thus the birth of "International Dinner Nights" came about. A group of friends and their families would take turns hosting … [Read more...]
Why Buy Local ~ @eggsoeufs
Like most parents, I put a lot of thought into what I feed my family. I take a lot into consideration when I purchase the food we consume. I have to say that though we try to grow a good portion of our food on our farm, what we don't grow ourselves, I try to get from other local farmers and food growers. I married a beef farmer, so I know firsthand how why buying locally is … [Read more...]
