Rainbow Connection

Line caught while on a summery cottage expedition, this rainbow trout was a gift from a friend who knows my love of food. I couldn’t help but create something with it to share with another. There’s something about fish that always seems to remind me of the same flavours; lemon, fresh herbs...

In Awe Of Asparagus.

Between redesigns and volunteering I was beginning to think I wouldn’t get the chance to create this month’s Daring Baker challenge. As I searched for time and innovation, I was left with nothing. No rum, no raisin, not even a cooking apple in the house to play into this month’s strudel...

Lasagne of Emilia-Romagna: March Daring Bakers

Aren’t we lucky? Mmmmm. Lasagne for a Daring Bakers Challenge?? Um, thank you!! I’ve made lasagne, I’ve even made pasta before but, as all of the Daring Bakers challenges, I try to follow the recipe given. …And I did, until I got to the ragu. The veal and pork is out in this...

Going Nuts

Actually, I’m not all that bad. I feel quite great really. For the first few days on the other hand, I was hungry. All. Of. The Time. I’m getting over it, but when it’s already tough to figure out what to eat, snacking is even worse. When I stopped to consider what I’d usually...

Figuring Out What To Eat

It’s not like finding something to eat has ever been a problem before. However, I’m finding it out now, more than ever since starting the Detox of ‘09 that it’s just far too easy just to reach for a bag of pasta or a potato when setting in on the evening rush to the dinner table. In...

Who The Hell Eats Brussels Sprouts?

Really? This was the question posted after I ordered them in a restaurant a scant while back. Although it made me think back. I was assured by my memory that brussels sprouts were indeed the only vegetable that left me sitting at a darkened dinner table at the age of about 7ish, to contemplate reviving...

Pizza! October Daring Bakers

One can never tire of pizza. As weekly addicts, Thursday is our pizza night. For at least the past few years we have yet to miss a day. We’ve ordered in and done the store bought frozen but we’ve always ended up returning to my own dough. Not only is making your own just better, it’s...

Local Organic, Seasonable & Sustainable Hot Dogs.

You think I’m kidding? Too far fetched? I’m not, it isn’t and it’s not all that new either. The first time we spied Buddah Dog a bit back, in the little town of Picton, On. Although Picton is small, it’s up and coming with well classed wineries, inns fabulous farms and...

Lavash Crackers

So, here we are already in (the end of) September! After baking our hearts (and butts out of our bathing suits), the Daring Baker cake reign has ended with something not only vegan, gluten-free but super low fat as well!! Perfect, because I can let you know what else I’ve been making –...
