If you love steak au poivre, you’re going to want to try this Chicken Au Poivre! 🤎

This dish has been popping up all over TikTok, and I knew I had to give it my own little twist using chicken drumsticks. The chicken bakes right in that creamy, peppery sauce until it’s tender, juicy, and packed with flavour.

And let me tell you… served over a big scoop of creamy mashed potatoes? SO good. 😋

It’s cozy, comforting, and honestly much easier than it sounds!

🍗 CHICKEN AU POIVRE

Ingredients:

* Chicken drumsticks
* Salt & pepper, to season chicken
* 2 tbsp crushed peppercorns
* ½ medium onion, finely chopped
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 tsp rosemary
* 1 tsp garlic
* 1½ cups cream
* Cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and arrange your chicken drumsticks inside. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel, then season generously with salt and pepper.

Bake uncovered at 375°F for about 15 minutes, just until the chicken starts to brown.

While the chicken is baking, mix together the crushed peppercorns, onion, salt, rosemary, garlic, and cream.

Pour the creamy peppercorn sauce all over the chicken.

Increase the oven temperature to 400°F and continue baking for approximately 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and beautifully coated in that creamy sauce.

While it bakes, baste the chicken with the sauce at least twice. This helps get all that delicious peppery cream sauce right over the chicken.

I served mine over mashed potatoes, which was absolutely perfect for soaking up all that sauce. 🤤

It’s nothing fancy, just good, cozy food. ❤️

Wow! 😮 ❤️❤️❤️

Hello loves! It’s part two of our homemade bread bowls, and today we’re filling them with creamy chicken Alfredo!

The bread bowls are made using my white bread recipe from The Bay Kitchen, Volume One. Once they’ve cooled, simply carve out the centre and get ready to fill them!

Chicken Alfredo

Ingredients:

* ¼ cup real butter
* ½ block cream cheese
* ½ teaspoon salt
* ½ teaspoon pepper
* ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
* 1 cup heavy cream or whipping cream
* 2 cups Parmesan cheese
* 2 cups cooked chicken
* Your favourite pasta
* Pasta water, if needed

Directions:
Melt the butter in a pan, then add the cream cheese, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Stir until combined.

Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese and continue stirring until you have a smooth, creamy Alfredo sauce.

If your sauce is a little too thick, add a bit of pasta water until you reach the consistency you like.

Add your cooked chicken and your pasta of choice, then spoon that creamy chicken Alfredo into your homemade bread bowls.

Top with a little extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, and enjoy!

And there you have it — homemade bread bowls filled with creamy chicken Alfredo. Nothing fancy, just good.

Hello loves! Today we’re making something a little extra special — homemade bread bowls for chicken Alfredo!

I’m making these bread bowls the exact same way I make my homemade white bread, using the recipe from The Bay Kitchen, Volume One. Instead of shaping it into a loaf, I’m shaping it into individual bread bowls.

Once they’re baked and cooled, I’ll carve out the centre so we can fill them with creamy chicken Alfredo.

And you know me… we’re keeping it simple, homemade and nothing fancy — just really good food!

Stay tuned for part two, where I’ll make the chicken Alfredo and show you how I carve out and fill these little bread bowls!

If you’d like the full bread recipe, you can find it in The Bay Kitchen, Volume One.

Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef

If you love those sweet and savoury Mongolian beef flavours, you’re going to love this easy slow cooker version! I wanted to make this into a complete meal, so I added a whole yellow pepper, a small bag of frozen broccoli, and ramen noodles right at the end. I also used ground beef instead of steak, which makes this recipe simple, budget-friendly, and still absolutely delicious.

I scramble-fried a pound of ground beef, leaving it just slightly undercooked with a couple of little pink pieces, before adding it to the slow cooker. Then I added the vegetables and sauce and let it cook while I was at work. I cooked mine for six hours, but 4–6 hours on LOW should be plenty. The last 20 minutes is when the ramen goes in, and then you have a delicious, saucy meal all in one pot!

It’s sweet, savoury, a little spicy, loaded with vegetables, and finished with sesame seeds and green onion. Easy, filling, and so good!

Ingredients

For the beef and vegetables:

* 1 lb ground beef, scramble-fried
* 1 full yellow bell pepper, chopped (red works too)
* 1 small bag frozen broccoli

For the sauce:

* 4 tsp minced ginger
* 6 cloves garlic, minced
* ½ cup brown sugar
* ½ cup low-sodium beef broth
* ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
* ¼ cup hoisin sauce
* ½ tsp black pepper
* ¼ tsp red pepper flakes, optional

To finish:

* Ramen noodles
* Sesame seeds, for garnish
* Green onion, sliced, for garnish

Directions

1. Scramble-fry the ground beef in a skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. It doesn’t need to be completely cooked through—you can leave a couple of little pink pieces, as it will finish cooking in the slow cooker.
2. Add the ground beef to your slow cooker.
3. Add the chopped yellow pepper and frozen broccoli.
4. In a bowl, whisk together the ginger, garlic, brown sugar, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
5. Pour the sauce over everything in the slow cooker and give it a good stir.
6. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours. I cooked mine for 6 hours while I was at work.
7. During the last 20 minutes, turn the slow cooker to HIGH and add the ramen noodles. Stir and allow them to cook until tender.
8. Serve topped with sesame seeds and green onion.

A whole meal, all from the slow cooker—and honestly, this one was delicious!

Okay, I’m just going to say it… I’m a basic white girl, and once the BER months roll around, I am ALL about pumpkin and pumpkin spice! 😂🍂🎃

And this dessert is exactly the kind of recipe I love this time of year! It makes a full 9x13 pan, so it’s a large batch that’s perfect for feeding a crowd, especially with Thanksgiving coming up soon! And the best part? It’s all made right in the one pan — no bowls needed!

🎃 One-Pan Pumpkin Dessert

Ingredients:

* 1 can pure pumpkin
* 1 can evaporated milk
* 1 cup sugar
* 3 eggs
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1 box yellow cake mix, dry
* 1 cup butter, melted

Directions:
Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Add the pumpkin, evaporated milk, sugar, eggs and cinnamon directly into the baking dish. Whisk everything together until well combined.

Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture. Do not prepare the cake mix according to the box directions.

Pour 1 cup of melted butter evenly over the top.

Bake at 350°F for about 1 hour, or until the top is golden and the dessert is set.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

One pan, no mixing bowls, and a whole lot of pumpkin goodness. 🍂🎃❤️

Hello, CBS! ❤️

I’ve now lived in this beautiful community for a little over a year, and I’ve definitely become a regular at Needs on the Conception Bay Highway… mostly because of my Red Bull addiction. Don’t judge me — the lovely owner, Judy, doesn’t! 😅

Well, that lovely lady has now offered to carry The Bay Kitchen Volume One & Volume Two at the store, and I’m so happy to announce that my cookbooks are officially available at a CBS location!

So if you’re in the area, drop by Needs on the Conception Bay Highway, grab yourself a Red Bull (because obviously 😂), and check out the books!

It means so much to me to see The Bay Kitchen making its way into more local stores and into more Newfoundland kitchens. ❤️

Thank you, Judy, for giving my books a little home at Needs!

I’m currently working on The Bay Kitchen Volume Three!

The Bay Kitchen Volume Three
Easy, Cozy & Delicious: Slow Cooker and One-Pan Recipes

This book is going to be a little different from my first two. While those books are filled with the traditional Newfoundland-inspired recipes and comforting favourites that started The Bay Kitchen, Volume Three is all about easy, everyday cooking for busy households.

Think dump-and-go slow cooker meals, simple one-pan dinners, easy sides, and even a few sweet treats — recipes that don’t require a lot of time, dishes, or fuss, but still put a good homemade meal on the table. 🥘❤️

Because being busy doesn’t mean we don’t want to eat good food at home. Sometimes we just need a little help getting there!

I’m having so much fun working on this one, and I can’t wait to share more of it with you.

The Bay Kitchen Volume Three — coming soon! 📖
