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...

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...

Forbidden.

I never would have thought that summer BBQ’s would match up so well with Asian inspired salads. I’ve tested this recipe a few times now at a few outdoor gatherings and I have to tell you, it held up pretty well beside the best of potato salads. I’ve had this rice in my pantry collection...

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...

Baby Spinach Greens With Grilled Pears and Caramalized Onion Dressing

Of course this time of year just about any spring greens from the market will be great, but baby spinach is something I always have on hand. Where it’s not exactly your throw it together tossed salad, the onions are pretty much low maintenance to caramelize and this dressing is worth the wait. CARAMELIZED...
