This is going to sound so very lame. Given that this is a food blog, that is. The thing is… I’m loathed to do any Christmas baking this year. I know, I know… I can hear the gasps of horror from here. Trust me, I’m doing the same with my inner voice. I decided, wisely or not, that I needed to do something about my
Cocoa Candy Chocolate Chipper Cookies
Okie dokie. The weather, is lousy. I’m bored of dark moody photos when it’s dark and moody enough outside. It’s not Thanksgiving in Canada so I’m not much fussed about pumpkin, turkey, cranberry or mashed potato recipes (been there, done that – sorry folks). I’m not ready to do Christmas baking soooo… Let’s make cookies! Yay!!! <— Kermit T. Frog yay I made these cookies
Taste Testing Castello Cheese – with Mac N Cheese!
The Castello Alps Collection of cheeses consists of a Chiantino™ Cheese, a Weissbeir Cheese, a Classic Cheese and a Hirten Cheese – all of which were totally new to me but well worth sampling.
Curried Blue Cheese Apple Salad
Disclosure notice: I was provided with free product by Castello cheese for the purpose of writing this post. All opinions stated within are my own. It’s really not a secret around here that I have a weakness for cheese. Any kind of cheese. Despite being lactose intolerant, I add it to everything. It just makes stuff better. And that’s what those little Lactaid pills are
Currant Cookies & Thanksgiving
This weekend is my absolute favourite holiday – Canadian Thanksgiving. It’s about giving thanks for the harvest, which is truly in it’s prime in October. I love it because it is the one holiday of the year in this country that isn’t wrapped up in commercialism. Oh it’s there alright, but it’s minimal compared to Easter, Halloween, Valentine’s and the mother of all commercial holidays,
Heirloom Tomatoes, Chicken and Eggs
I spent a really fun day at Granville Island Market with my “food hubby” Sean last week. There’s more coming on that in a later post but, while I was there I bought a bag of beautiful heirloom tomatoes that cost me a fortune but I just couldn’t resist. You see, one of the sad things about my summer is…the tomato situation. That’s right… we
Garage Sale Cookies and Meat & Bread
March in Vancouver has been suffering from an identity crisis. It doesn’t seem to know what it wants to do. One minute, gorgeous blue skies, crocuses, warm breezes, the next snow, then hurricane force winds, then rain, them some blues skies… often all in the same day! Do you take the umbrella? Do you wear boots? The coat with the hood? Why is there a
The Best Carrot Cake – With Cream Cheese Frosting
I have been struggling with writing this post for over a week. It’s a recipe post – one of my better recipes if I do say so myself! Except, it’s not my recipe. The recipe is from one of the loveliest people I have ever known – a good friend and colleague who was killed in a car accident by somebody who ran a stop
The No-Fat Low-Fat Carrot Muffin (AKA a Boo Boo)
Sometimes, you set out to do something and you have all these wonderful plans. Like how I woke up one day and really had a craving for carrot raisin muffins. With maybe a little bit of pineapple in them. It just seemed like a good idea. You know, at the time. So I did some googling and settled upon the recipe on the Dole Pineapple
Sour Cream Apple Pie – The Pie to End All Pies
Who does not love pie? Seriously – it’s pretty much the perfect dessert and it takes literally 10 minutes to throw one together. At least, that’s if you follow my “I will never make my own pastry again” rule. If you insist on making pastry, it’s gonna take you a little longer and a whole lot more mess. At least, that’s what happens when I
