In the rush of the season, it’s good to be tempted by books and luscious photos. Making the almighty “what’s for dinner” question resolve, I made this stew from the earlier re...
As the Holidays approach, I’ve been asked to review books and promote products. I’ve been asked you to remind you all to donate and give generously through various outlets, like Unicef, o...

When I got home today, I found a lovely surprise in my mailbox! It’s the Foodista Best of Food Blogs Cookbook, and I’m on pages 32 & 33! Just from my quick flip through, the book looks like a bes...
I was recently contacted and asked if I would take a look at this new book: Substituting Ingredients, by Becky Sue Epstein. To be honest, I wasn’t sure of the idea to first. I am a bit of a pur...
As the coolish spring weather halted into a heatwave, I rushed to gather the rapidly sprouting greens from my garden. Spinach and arugula could practically be seen growing and bursting seed heads. A ...
Has it been a month already? Time to post! All kidding aside, the spring weather has been pretty balmy and our world rapidly grew green again and dandelions dotting most of the nooks between each bla...
Had enough sugar yet today? My Nana used to make this cake for us when we were kids. I’m not sure if it’s one of those depression era cakes that remind me of grandma’s and farmhouse...
Hello. Hello? Is anyone still here? I didn’t abandon you, I swear! & I wouldn’t blame you if you’d abandoned me. Between illnesses, traveling, working and life, Visitors have be...
How about a flavourful and heat loving blast into the New Year? Healthy and sinus clearing, this is a lunch to knock that cold back outside where it belongs. It’s been frigid and I’ve bee...
Good health and prosperity to you and yours. Happy 2010 Everyone!
I am on a lemon-bender. These fragrant yellow orbs are hobbling into grocery stores everywhere for the season. I couldn’t be happier. It’s no secret I love citrusy things. Biggest problem...
Tis the season to learn of new traditions. When I first heard of these I couldn’t help but be excited. Greek Kourabiedes are popular special occasion cookies. They are often served at weddings,...
Who knew I could feed myself from a front yard garden alone? Other than the flour, I grew everything for this dish in my small, urban yard; potatoes, garlic, chard, tomatoes and squash. I may have me...
We all know the rhyme. Even my kids refuse to take them for lunch at school and I don’t blame them. It’s because of the curse that I refused to go near them throughout my entire teenage years. Quite ...
I’ve heard them called kale chips too. They can be roasted or dehydrated raw to get this crisp, practically preserved autumn leaf. I grew a few plants in my new garden and now that the season i...
For the longest time, I think I’ve misunderstood raw eating. The desire for it or the satisfaction from it was a bit of a mystery as most of my comfort foods (mashed potatoes and gravy, minestr...
Where have I been having vanished with the summer? Sheltering from the rain, I’d replaced my passé front yard with an edible garden. I tried my luck with a few heirloom seeds and a few more old...
Seems late for strawberries, but this year the weather went from hot to cool and rainy then back again. It may leave me with not being able to pack my long pants away but at least I have more time to...
The bounty cometh, it is summer after all. Not only is it the season for all things grown fresh it’s also BBQ, picnic, firework celebrations and stay up late season. With company on it’s ...
It was a breakfast built Father’s Day feast. Especially when the kids are making it. Really super easy, the batter isn’t a whole lot different than my go-to pancake recipe. Of course, you...
It’s now June, the sun is warm and the garden is in. I thought I had the itch last year, ripping out spaces in the yard to add more life, but it must have been the tomatoes that inspired this y...
It’s springtime, and even though I might have a bad back, I’m a die-hard gardener. Some of the most simple and rewarding treasures of a garden are the ones taken for granted. Possibly bec...
Brandi & Tucker. Congratulations!
I have to admit, when I first flipped through it, I wasn’t totally taken by PeTA’s new Vegan College Cookbook. It was lacking photography, and well, real food. Then I realized, I made it through coll...
Who knew? When I saw that reminder on Twitter, I couldn’t help myself but to think that I may not have been celebrating enough lately. How about you? Life a little busy? Preoccupied with everyt...
Usually I’d be eating something like this in the dead of winter not the first of Spring. I’ve been doing my best to enjoy a salad every day, plus, just posted about digging up those Sunch...
It’s April and finally graced with a nice day which was missing the typical showers. I got excited and took to my garden to harvest the first of my fruits of labour. (Well, some baby carrots we...
Where have I been? Wow, where do I begin? When I was a kid I used to spend every school holiday up with my grandparents. They lived at the “cottage”, but to a kid it was paradise, special...
I was recently invited to attend a wedding celebration for good friends of ours. Ecstatic, we did the usual most people do to prepare; plan a gift, get a new outfit, a hair do… but you see I al...
