Having just returned from the cottage, we explored the forest in behind. Learning the subtle differences of the bare trees, we examined bark, found maples for sugaring and appreciated the wonders of ...
The sun may have set on the summer, but in these parts, we were *finallly* gifted with warmth. In what’s left of our shortening days, it’s turning out to be the best parts of the summer. ...
Remember the super sticky sweetness that was the mallow cookie? A seventies treat that grew into a wagon wheel fit for a brown bagged lunch. The sweet classic with a dollop of strawberry jam under th...
Line caught while on a summery cottage expedition, this rainbow trout was a gift from a friend who knows my love of food. I couldn’t help but create something with it to share with another. The...
The beginning of summer also marks the start of lobster season for me. I’m not entirely sure why but maybe it was the childhood trips out East to visit our relatives. The journey was always in ...
Even with a British background, I hadn’t tried a Bakewell Tart. With a sweet shortcrust, sticky jam and a classic almond frangipane, it sounded delicious and seemed easy enough to try. The only...
…And here I thought they were aptly named after their small tea cup size but noooo. It’s the “Saturn” sticker that finally gave it away. Awhhhhaa! Still juicy, sweet and and ...
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...
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 ...
I’ve been starting to think the monthly Daring Baker’s choices were pretty serendipitous. From the Perfect Party Cake for my birthday right up to this month’s Valentino Cake. The Fe...
I will not balk at a challenge again. I will not balk at a challenge again. I will not balk at a challenge again. I will not balk at a challenge again. I will not balk at a challenge again. I will no...
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 toug...
It’s not like finding something to eat has ever been a problem before. However, I’m finding it out now, more than ever since starting the Detox of ‘09 that it’s just far too e...
Not even because it’s January, well maybe because it is… A detox, a cleanse, a rebalancing, what ever you choose to call it, has been in order for some time. Every one could probably use ...
This month’s challenge is brought to us by the adventurous Hilda from Saffron and Blueberry and Marion from Il en Faut Peu Pour Etre Heureux. They have chosen a French Yule Log by Flore from Fl...
Perhaps you have not read the archives, or my other blog. Well, ever since first noticing it, I’ve been obsessed (to say it lightly) with the event that takes place amongst some bloggers. Put t...
Have you not yet heard of Shuna Fish Lydon??? Not only am I a great fan of her blog, Eggbeater, her writing, her teaching and her experience, I’m also now a fan of her signature caramel cake. C...
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 veg...
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&...
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. Al...
So, here we are already in (the end of) September! After baking our hearts (and butts out of our bathing suits), the Daring Baker cake reign has ended with something not only vegan, gluten-free but s...
Shopping locally, I was sheepish to display my wares from my recent Asian market excursion. As excited as I get about a home bound autumn harvest there was an equally impressive display of sugar appl...
