Favourite Things Dinner

Yesterday was my daughter’s birthday. It’s become a bit of a tradition and now her birthday dinner consists of her year’s list of favourite things. Apps, entrée, sides, beverage, heck, even the dinner music is chosen by said truly. Amazing thing is that the family lines up for it,...

Warm New Potato & Dandelion Greens Salad

Officially spring when the weeds beat out the flowers – even in the grocery store. Today was one of those exciting days at the market. Everywhere I turned there was new, fresh seasonal produce. I was greeted by thin, crisp greens, herbs and miniature everything like these potatoes which were about...

Cedar Smoked Asparagus Soup

Cedar planks, not just for salmon anymore. Really. Our last guest came with the spring and with that, sparks the BBQ. It might still be a bit early to eat outside, but who can resist the flame that is the official call of nicer weather? Having grilled on cedar planks before, I’m already fond of...

Dining Out and Bringing Home Montreal

A trip to Montréal could be a faster route to Paris if it weren’t for it’s own personal and famous delicacies. Sure, there are so many restaurants, so many of which are indeed French, however, a visit would not be complete without a trip to Schwartz’s or St. Viateur. If you’re...

SPRING!!! & Oh Ya, Hot Crossed Buns

Clawing from the depths of a seemingly endless winter, spring has finally arrived. Of course with about a foot of snow still remaining outside of my urban home and the prediction of 6 more weeks of crappy weather, it’s a little hard to believe. Thankfully with the double whammy of this beloved...
