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...

Waste Not.

Have a kid who won’t eat crusts? I do. So instead of having it continuously irritate me, I’ve decided to please both parties. I was inspired after reading this New York Times article about wasted food. Where I’m really happy I live in an area which makes us separate so they can collect...

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...

Eggless Opéra Cake

It’s terrible but it’s the truth. I almost didn’t attempt to veganize this month’s Daring Baker Challenge. Daunting to say the least when a cake has a dozen eggs in it to somehow replace. (…And that’s not including the other two that were in the buttercream recipe.) After...

Palak Paneer Phyllo Triangles

Perfect for using up left overs on just on their own, these little triangles make a great appetizer or side for a soup. It took me a while to dig into Palak Paneer, the Indian creamed spinach with homemade cheese. It wasn’t until a friend of mine returned from an extended stay in India and reintroduced...

I know that Mother’s Day has come and gone, but I just had to share this perfect everyday, great with tea or Coffee Cake. One of the many things that I’ve learned through my Nana and her baking is that men love coffee cake. It’s a crazy notion, but you can go ahead and quote me on...

Yesterday was my daughter’s birthday. It’s become a bit of a tradition and now her birthday dinner consists of her year’s list of favourite things. Apps, entrée, sides, beverage, heck, even the dinner music is chosen by said truly. Amazing thing is that the family lines up for it,...
