The sun may have set on the summer, but in these parts, we were *finallly* gifted with warmth. In what’s left of our shortening days, it’s turning out to be the best parts of the summer. The sum has been warm and the garden bountiful. Zucchini, beets, blueberries, beans and potatoes are bursting from the ground. What’s better than the shifting seasons and an overhaul of ready produce from...

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...

Detox

Not even because it’s January, well maybe because it is… A detox, a cleanse, a rebalancing, what ever you choose to call it, has been in order for some time. Every one could probably use one and it really wasn’t the Holidays that instigated it, it was the lack of them. I’ve been...

Classic French Yule Log

This month’s challenge is brought to us by the adventurous Hilda from Saffron and Blueberry and Marion from Il en Faut Peu Pour Etre Heureux. They have chosen a French Yule Log by Flore from Florilege Gourmand. Now I love a good challenge, that’s why I joined the Daring Bakers. Of course...

Blogging By Mail

Perhaps you have not read the archives, or my other blog. Well, ever since first noticing it, I’ve been obsessed (to say it lightly) with the event that takes place amongst some bloggers. Put together by Stephanie at Dispensing Happiness. “Blogging By Mail” matches bloggers from around the...

Daring Caramel Cake

Have you not yet heard of Shuna Fish Lydon??? Not only am I a great fan of her blog, Eggbeater, her writing, her teaching and her experience, I’m also now a fan of her signature caramel cake. Currently off in London, us, um, thousand or so Daring Bakers, were able to still enjoy and learn from...

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 –...
