Consider this an ode to the end of summer. The nights are getting cooler. The sun is setting a bit earlier. Summer is on it’s way out. Soon the market will be filled with nothing but root vegetables. Le sigh. With all that in mind I decided to head over to the North York Civic [...]

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 to accompany my not so great pork belly I made bok choy. I’ve always enjoyed bok choy but usually buy the big heads. This time I thought it would be fun to buy some baby bok choy and stir-fry that up. Thanks heavens I did because my pork belly verged on inedible The [...]
The August 2010 Daring Cooks’ Challenge was hosted by LizG of Bits n’ Bites and Anula of Anula’s Kitchen. They chose to challenge Daring Cooks to make pierogi from scratch and an optional challenge to provide one filling that best represents their locale. Ah pierogies! A food that is near and dear to my heart. [...]
After my fun cottage weekend I was gifted with a ton of kale. Kale isn’t something that I would normally buy so I wasn’t too sure what to do with it. Of course I could prepare it like I would spinach or some other dark, leafy green but I wanted some a bit different. I [...]

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, [...]

While I love me some meat sometimes I eat totally vegetarian. I had a few bundles of soba noodles in my cupboard that I’ve been meaning to use up so when I saw this recipe in Moosewood Restaurant New Classics it sounded like a great option. I’m a fan of Asian-inspired noodle dishes and I [...]
I’m back on my Barefoot Bloggers thing this month! This month’s recipe comes from Kimberly at Indulge & Enjoy. I know I just posted about risotto and trust me I wasn’t thrilled about making more risotto so soon but I was delighted at the spring-ness of this recipe. Leeks, asparagus, peas and fennel? Sign me [...]
