Like Peas & Carrots

These friendly, sweet vegetables just go together. Fresh with a splash of Asian inspired dressing, it’s crisp and sooths the summer heat I’m guessing these would go great with these Scallion Pancakes and just about anything grilled. Give it a try. ASIAN PEA & CARROT SALAD 1/2 Lb Snow...

Perfect for using up left overs on just on their own, these little triangles make a great appetizer or side for a soup.

The Way The Peanut Butter Cookie Crumbled

It would seem that I’ve been having a short slue of serendipitous mishaps in my kitchen lately. First I have the uncheesecake pops from the Daring Bakers challenge and now I have crumbly peanut butter cookies. After a craving and an urge of inspiration from seeing a jarful of banana jam, I wanted...

Brown Sugar Scones

In response to a quick visit from an old friend coming for tea, I naturally made for the kitchen. I’d set aside my quest for a recipe to use up the copious amounts of extra coconut I had from the Perfect Party Cake and thought that the best morning treat with tea would have to be scones. My friend...

Montréal, March Break, Maple Syrup & Madeleines.

Mmmm. Hopefully this is the post worth waiting for. Since being whisked off for a quick French get away, I ate my way through all of Montréal’s renown food samples. Squeaking a flight through a crazy snowstorm, even for Québec standards, safe at home I brought out my sack of goodness from...
