finally

Finally, finally, finally, Ive got this just right. These are so wickedly absurdly good, I cant believe that I havent discovered them earlier. "Oh?" You say. Yes, thats right, I do. These lit...

borgo trattoria

Eggplant "fritta" with fennel yogourt.  Looks good right? Yes. We did it. Jeff and I finally made it out of the house for a date! Yes, I know its nearly unbelievable, and we are both sti...

carrot-beet salad

Theres always room for a few more veggies. Thats right, I didnt say dessert. But its true, there should probably be room for all of us to eat a few more brightly coloured delicious foods grown in the...

summer, at last

I suppose you could say that Ive been a little bored. Or perhaps that isnt quite accurate, its more like uninspired. In the last few months Ive had a strange myriad of health concerns, all of which s...

potluck

Now I get it. Potlucks are so fantastic because you are lucky to only have to make a lot of one thing, and still get to eat a nice variety of food. And who throws the best potlucks? Julie Van Rosenda...

not just healthy

Sometimes what is "healthy" can be so infuriating. Protein is good for you. Protein is bad for you. Soy is good. Soy is bad. Green tea is good for you. Green tea is bad for you. Yes, even gre...

because this makes me wonder

I dont want to be afraid of the food I eat. This does make me wonder why anyone would think this could possibly be good to eat. Meat glue doesnt sound too appetizing does it?

for moms

I love to bake.  Theres certainly no secret about that.  Or perhaps, its just that I love to eat baked treats.  Theres certainly no secret about that either.  But certainly, I wou...

patty cake

When trying to eat really healthy....  it can get kinda boring. Vegetable.  Quinoa.  Protein.  Repeat.  Ugh! Sure, its fine for a meal or two, but when you want all the nutri...

I love carrots

Carrots?  Yes carrots. Not always, but recently, Ive become carrots biggest fan.  Cheap, cheerful, and organic.  Carrots just take a little creativity to get away from everyday steamed...

dinner in 16 minutes?

I dare you. Mango. I love, love, love mangoes. And shrimp? Match made in heaven. Dont even get me started about it on a pizza. With brie. I know, I know, youre thinking Ive seriously lost my mind. Bu...

we try

Lets face it, sometimes we just need cake.  And we just cant wait any longer than five minutes. Perhaps need isnt quite correct. Except sometimes, I just really, really want it. Thats sort of cl...

charcut, calgarys best bang for your buck

Im just going to say it. I really like CHARCUT. And from what I can tell, given the cult-like status of their alley burgers, a lot of others like CHARCUT too. Yes, their burger is one of the best in ...

incredible olive oil french fries

These are truly incredible.  My seven year old niece was skeptical that I was making fries.  "In the oven?", she asked.  Later she said, "They smell like real fries."&n...

game food, well kinda

Ill admit it.  I didnt even watch the Superbowl game yesterday.  Not even the half-time show.  Well, I saw a snippet, but it was just so unbearable I figured, why bother?  We dont...

lazy mans granola

Or womans.  It doesnt matter really.  What does matter, is that its really, spectacularly tasty, and ridiculously easy to toss together.  Its even pretty. Beyond all of that, theres ch...

feeding baby

Dont panic. Im not suddenly turning this into a parenting blog. So, if youre not interested in this, then just tune in again soon. I am going to try to be succinct. It probably wont work, and youll a...

banana crunch muffins with gingery homemade granola

Really, these could be called ridiculously banana, banana crunch muffins, but I thought it might be a little much. A little restraint is needed in the New Year, at least occasionally. I have decided ...

homemade dark hot chocolate mix & marshmallows too

Homemade. Yes, the marshmallows too! I thought it would make cute gifts I could give friends and family for the holidays. The best part is that the marshmallows are good for a few weeks, at least. So...

dont just survive the holidays

I like lists. I like to make them, and I like to read them. But there are so many lists full of ideas floating around the media ether on how to either "survive the holidays", or "keep the...

I am finally almost hungry again. It only took five days... Im sure you can guess what happened. Yes, I ate multiple pastries on Saturday, and they were so very good, that I did the same thing on Sun...

buttered onion sauce

I dont know what it is. But I cant eat enough. I have just been eating, and eating, and eating. I mean sure, taking care of a baby is busy, but still. I have eaten the most calorific foods I can thin...

exploding gnocchi

This really is quite excellent.  Of course, only if you like to laugh!

taste alberta and retro redone

So I have to tell you about something new.  Although, I did say there was something retro, I really want you to know more about Taste Alberta. It was just over year ago when Dinner with Julie, K...

mache salad with feta cheese, roasted kabocha squash, toasted walnuts, in a walnut-citrus vinaigret...

Generally, I dont like to fuss over salads too much. I just like to get good stuff in a bowl, add some olive oil, a sprinkle of fleur de sel, and away I go. But Ive been into walnuts and walnut oil l...

I know, I know, a video. But, it is in good fun, and a little more of the world renowned butcher, Dario Cecchini, and his shop in Panzano, Italy.

dario cecchinis panzano

Im not sure exactly when it was that I had heard of the famous butcher in Panzano, who has worked to advance the craft as well as dignifying his town. Wait, it isnt exactly everyday that you hear of ...
