I don’t talk about appetizers enough with you guys. You see, I really love appetizers, and I really love you for being here. I really love to serve appetizers to people whose company I enjoy. So, I should basically be serving you virtual appetizers every time we talk. But then I’d be a one trick pony […]
Crispy Fried Onions
How have I not ever told you about these crispy golden onion straws of my addiction? I guess for the same reason I don’t tell you about that time I bailed on the way into church on Sunday and split both my knees open and one seems intent on bleeding for the rest of the […]
Regional Canadian Food: Cranberry Raspberry Mousse
It’s time for another instalment in the Canadian Food Experience Project! We’ve talked about regional foods before, but every region has more than one food it can call it’s own. While I wrote about raspberries last time, coming from British Columbia I couldn’t help but feature berries again. British Columbia is home to so much […]
Chicken Caesar Burgers
It’s still very much the middle of winter here, but that doesn’t mean we can’t talk about burgers. At least, burgers that are made in the great INdoors! Even in the summer, when barbecue season is in full delicious swing, I sometimes make these burgers or similar ones inside. I staunchly refuse to learn to […]
Ultimate Beef Wellington
Herein lies the most expensive post you will likely ever find on this ol’ blog: Beef Wellington. To someone who generally considers $3-$4 absolutely plenty to spend on meat for a meal to serve a family of 5 (one baby vegetarian, so more like a family of 4), forking over $40 for meat to serve […]
Lemon Poppyseed Scones
I always forget how short February is, and am pleasantly surprised when March sneaks up on us in no time. I think February may actually be my favourite month. The beginning of the month has stores full of pink, red, hearts, teddy bears, and sprinkles, which makes for the best grocery shopping days ever. When […]
Saturday Sweets: Dipped Coconut Macaroons
It’s a beee-yoo-tiful sunny cold day here in Ontario, the first draft of my impending paper is printed off for editing, and we’re off to visit my littlest sister and some butterflies, so it promises to be a great day! We won’t talk about the fact that Carl leaves on Monday, putting an end to […]
Ravioli & Sausage Lasagna
Have you been watching any Olympics? I hate the feeling of having the TV on during the day, but I can’t help but love the feats of strength and skill on constant display. I just sit there and exclaim about the LEGS, the ARMS, the CORE STRENGTH! The ski jumpers who can basically lay parallel […]
Saturday Sweets: Cookie Dough Truffle Bars
Do you ever watch Dragon’s Den or Shark Tank? I’m not really a TV watcher, but I love those shows. I tend to think most things have already been invented, and then along comes someone with a brilliant, and usually simple, invention or solution of some sort that makes me think, “Now why didn’t I […]
Taco Lasagna
I’ve been holding out on you with a super easy dinner recipe you’re going to want to add to your plans this week. I apologize for this blogging negligence, and offer you a taco lasagna peace offering. No more secrets here. The first time I made this I had some friends coming over and it […]
