Chicken and Waffle Goodness

On May 13, 2012 · 1 Comment

For the life of me I can’t understand people who aren’t down for chicken and waffles.  Especially people who have never tried it.  I mean, fried chicken = good.  Waffles = good.  WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE???

When I go for brunch and am presented with the option to order chicken and waffles [...]

Better Brunch: Fruity Jam Syrup

On March 3, 2012 · 4 Comments

One of the downsides to preserving is that I end up with more jars of goodness than I can use (I mean if you want to call that a downside).  Sure I can (and do) share with friends but every once in a while I’ll poke into the cupboard and find a jar of [...]

Strawberry Cake

On July 31, 2011 · 8 Comments

With my recent strawberry picking exploits I ended up with a lot of berries. I didn’t want to make jam so I needed some ideas. I thought about doing some sort of strawberry rhubarb combo but that didn’t happen. As per usual I took to the interwebs to see what [...]

Baked Eggs with Greens

On July 22, 2011 · 6 Comments

One of my favourite things is a fancy homemade breakfast on the weekends.  Sure I enjoy going out for brunch but I can’t help but find it a bit overrated.  I love restaurants that do unique things with their brunch menu but for the most part I feel like I can [...]

Strawberry Eton Mess

On June 28, 2011 · 11 Comments

Perhaps one of the highlights of eating in London was discovering the joys of Eton Mess.  I enjoyed Eton Mess for the first time at St. John and then again at Hereford Road. I love that it is a really simple dessert and that it’s a great way to showcase [...]

Rhubarb and Strawberry Tart with Brown Butter Streusel

On June 13, 2011 · 10 Comments

Last year I was pretty obsessed with Rhubarb.  I think it was because I was at the farmers market every weekend and was so on top of what was local and in season.  I made a great Rhubarb Strawberry Pudding Cake and a Country Rhubarb Cake and was pretty [...]

Crusty Black Bean Chorizo Subs

On June 7, 2011 · Leave a Comment

My quest to “make things with chorizo” continues.  The most recent Charcutepalooza Challenge was all about making sausage meat and I went the chorizo route. As mentioned in that post, I made chorizo tacos but of course have another pound or two of chorizo to use up so I’ve been [...]

Chorizo, Potato, and Mushroom Tacos

On May 24, 2011 · 2 Comments

Last month’s Charcutepalooza Challenge was all about making sausages (sans casings). I decided to make chorizo because I love to get my Mexican cooking on. Of course when I think of Mexican food I think of Rick Bayless so I turned to him for some inspiration.

I kind of [...]

Charcutepalooza: Grinding

On May 15, 2011 · 1 Comment


For this month’s Charcutepalooza challenge we inch our way closer to making sausage by exploring the world of grinding. And yes, I feel slightly dirty typing the word “grinding” repeatedly (I’m secretly a 13 year-old boy).

Now grinding isn’t new to me. I broke out my grinder a few [...]

Homemade English Muffins

On May 13, 2011 · 6 Comments

So as part of the last round of Charcutepalooza I had the brilliant idea to go all out and make my own English muffins. I mean, I was making Canadian bacon and naturally I would use this as part of Eggs Benedict. I’ve already mastered an easy Hollandaise sauce, [...]
