It’s not surprise that I love granola. I’ve blogged about it a bunch of times (just type in granola in the search field at the top). Granola is one of those things that I can never find just right in the packaged version. As someone with a serious aversion to raisins I’m forever disappointed that [...]

So on Fried Chicken Day I decided to make biscuits too because fried chicken and biscuits go together like early Madonna and lace. I’m forever craving Cheddar Bay Biscuits from Red Lobster so I went on the hunt for something similar. I ended up finding this recipe from the Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network [...]

Recently my dear friend Jaime invited me to go cherry picking in her grandmother’s yard. Since I a.) love cherries and b.) love opportunities to channel my inner Nicole Richie circa “The Simple Life” I was eager to join. Having never picked cherries in my life it didn’t really occur to me how this event [...]
While at the farmers market the other day I couldn’t resist some more fresh Ontario rhubarb and strawberries. Strawberries and rhubarb are a classic pairing so I figured I’d make some sort of dessert. My mind immediately went to pie and then to crumble. But then I went to Epicurious and saw this recipe for [...]

A few weeks ago in my cooking class it was egg day. The teacher demonstrated how to make hollandaise, how to poach an egg, how to make various omelettes and then we made quiche. Now as you may or may not know from reading the blog, eggs freak me out. You can’t just get me [...]

My trip to Stratford reminded me how much I love homemade granola. I normally use this recipe from my friend Amanda and love it. However while in Stratford a few people mentioned that my friend Bonita over at Bon Eats had a recipe worth checking out. So that’s what I did. The recipe is simple, [...]

One of the by-products of my butter making experiment was buttermilk. Buttermilk is great. I use it pancakes all the time. Problem is I can usually only find it in 1L formats. Half the time I say screw it and just make “buttermilk” by adding either lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk. It works [...]

This week’s Barefoot Bloggers pick comes courtesy of Peggy at Pantry Revisited. I’m a fan of croissants and I love bread pudding so this seemed like a great pick. This is a quick and easy recipe. Some might see this as dessert, but for me it just screamed breakfast! I mean, it’s kind of like [...]

Yay! I think I’m officially on track with my Barefoot Blogging. Hopefully this means that my hiatus is over. This week’s pick comes courtesy of Summer of Sexy Apartment. I was a bit hesitant at first when I saw that she chose souffle. I mean who choses souffle?? I was annoyed initially because it meant [...]

The other night I didn’t have a plan for what I wanted for dinner so I decided to do Breakfast for Dinner (my fave). I was at Metro supermarket and saw a 3-pack of croissants on the “Poor People’s Shelf” (the discount baked goods rack) for $2.00 off and bought them to make some Croissant [...]
