Every once in a while I start feeling extra crafty when it comes to cooking. I get these impulses to make really basic things that are readily available in the supermarket. Once it was jam, another time it was bread – and there have likely been many other things over the years.

Yes, it’s that time of year again! Last year I did a post about what to serve at your Superbowl party which was a lot of fun for me. This year I figured I would capture the magic one more time!
This year it’s the New Orleans Saints vs. the Indianapolis Colts in Miami. A group [...]
Welcome to the new home of “What’s On My Plate”! Yes, I took the plunge and bought a domain so that I can self-host. Since i was moving the blog anyway I decided to change the layout as well. Hopefully you will find aspects of this site more functional.
You can now browse recipes by more [...]
Last year I had some fun blogging about my Food Goals for 2009. I fulfilled some of my goals, moved beyond some goals and plain forgot about others. With a new decade, a continuously evolving relationship with food and some more disposable income comes new food goals.

Last year I put together my wish list for the holiday season. While I haven’t acquired a single on that list I thought I’d put one together for those looking to get gifts for the food lovers in your life. My recommendations from last year still stand

The other day I was home sick and needed something to eat for lunch. My original plan was to venture downtown to get corn soup but as the morning progressed I started to get lazy. I began rummaging through my fridge in hopes of finding something to consume when I found leftover brown rice. My [...]
At last! My missing Barefoot Bloggers recipe. I was less than enthused about making this one. I’m not a big “make some mixed drinks” kind of girl. I don’t really have a liquor cabinet and I always get annoyed that alcohol costs so much more in Canada than in the U.S.! Which reminds me… I [...]
One of my fave snacks in NYC is the corn on the cob from Cafe Habana in Nolita. It’s Mexican-Style grilled corn that is slathered in a creamy concoction, dusted with cayenne pepper, rolled in cojita cheese and drizzled with lime juice. SO GOOD.
Since I’m on a temporary ban from visiting NYC (no unnecessary travels [...]
So this is what I made with my cherries! I cracked open my Martha Stewart Baking Handbook and flipped through for various cherry recipes. I liked the idea of the Frangipane Galette. First of all, it has the best name! It just sounds magical. Secondly, it didn’t seem that complicated. And thirdly (can you say [...]
The other day I ended up with two boxes of strawberries. I love strawberries but I realized that I needed to do something with them fairly quickly before they went bad. That’s when I got the idea of strawberries and cream! I didn’t grow up eating whipped cream and probably had my first can of [...]



See what I'm up to!
