Breaking down Doug Ford’s BBQ skills

If you live in Ontario, you know that the LCBO is on strike. That means no wine, beer, or spirits for now from Ontario’s number one place to stock up on booze. As this is not a political blog, I am not going to get into the strike and who’s right, who’s wrong, and the 56 different opinions out there. I hope it gets solved soon. I want people to go back to work. I want people to be able to easily get their alcohol again. I also certainly never want to see Ontario Premier Doug Ford BBQ again.

On Monday the leader of the Province posted a video that featured an interactive map that shows where you can buy booze while the LCBO is on strike. Again, not what I want to focus on. The whole thing stinks in my opinion, but as a backyard BBQ guy, all I could focus on was the actual grilling. Have a look for yourself.

Recipe of the day – Beefy enchiladas

Every other weekend, it’s my turn to do meal prep for the week as well as grocery shopping. Each time I sit down with some cookbooks and my phone and try to come up with a handful of meals for the family. As weeknight meals, they ideally are pretty simple, tasty, and something everyone will eat.

Going through this process 26 times per year, you get stuck in a rut. You get bored of what you are cooking. It’s only natural. So, for me, it’s good to have a few meals that are fun to make, enjoyable to eat, and provide that homecooked feeling with real ingredients.

More and more, I am starting to realize that there is a dish that checks all the boxes. The enchilada.
