Super Bowl of Chili

As I sat, thinking what the ultimate food for Sunday would be, it actually took me a bit to come to the chili conclusion. Crazy, yes, I am aware of this. Coming from an advertising background, I have to honestly admit that the majority of my Superbowl viewing experience takes place during half time. Perfect...

HHDH: It’s Cheeseless Pizza

Who doesn’t like pizza? I am yet to meet a single soul who would turn down a slice…. Except when it was going to be me with the notion of no cheese. I was always of the mindset that pizza had but one basic construction – a crust (perfect blend of thin and chewy ), sauce (very important)...

Magic Soup

My ever problem solving daughter is always creating new suggestions for dinner and desserts; favourites like Mialita, Chuchetta and the like. Her recipes, with the addition of marshmallows, ketchup and eggs kind of remind me of that show that aired around here in the 80’s I always wanted to go...

Rosemary Walnut Kalamata Olive Miniature Madeleines

After a few email and requests to bake another batch, I wanted to jot down this easy recipe for a super savoury quick bread. I’d served these up with the Creamless Potato Leek Soup a little while back but I’m sure that they’d also be great as a muffin with a salad. The flavour combination...

Roasted Red Pepper Soup

Needless to say we all like soup in this house. Nothing beats a warm bowl on a cold day. Well, maybe that warm bowl with some of that fresh bread I’ve finally been able to be baking… Red peppers, to me, are one of those amazing vegetables. You see, I absolutely, without a doubt hate it’s...

Power of Food + Internet

The more food blogs I discover the more of one common element continues to show through. It’s obvious that we food bloggers love food. We love discovering it, smelling, touching, buying, cooking, sharing, eating and meeting with the growers who bring it all to us. It was quite sudden when it occurred...

Eat Food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants.

…And read this book. I probably can’t tell you how excited I was to snag an advanced copy of this book last week. Already being a fan of Michael Pollan and specifically his last book, Omnivore’s Dilemma, this book is a continuation of his essay entitled “Unhappy Meals”, published...

Does My Blog Look Good In This? – December 2007

Yay! I’m the host of this month’s Does My Blog Look Good in This?! I couldn’t be more excited! It’s amazing that when I started out at blogging, I thought I’d just be jotting down a few stories and my favourite recipes. Not long into it, I began to realize that I was...

Thankful

On a recent trip to the country side, it was easy to absorb the surroundings and be thankful for what we have. The warm autumn days have brought with it a tremendous bounty. While on the road, we were fortunate to experience one of the more remarkable pumpkin patches of recent memory. Flooded by the...

Smashing Pumpkins

Head out any glorious autumn afternoon in search for a pick your own apple farm, you would think you’d find one, especially in rural Ontario. What we thought was going to be a pleasant Sunday drive in the country, enjoying the fresh air, changing leaves and early harvest ended up so much better....
