From the monthly archives: August 2010
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 […]
The August 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Elissa of 17 and Baking. For the first time, The Daring Bakers partnered with Sugar High Fridays for a co-event and Elissa was the gracious hostess of both. Using the theme of beurre noisette, or browned butter, […]
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 […]
I love summer in Ontario. I get so excited to go to the farmers markets and pick up whatever is fresh. I went to the Brickworks for their weekly market and picked up this incredible delicious basket of peaches. As I was making my way through the peaches I realized that […]
I went to Montreal for the first time about 3 years ago and fell in love. It’s a great city with a chill vibe and great food. Oddly enough despite two trip to Montreal I’ve never blogged about my eating escapades. Go figure.

Ah pierogies! A food that is […]
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 […]
Occasionally you win some, you lose some when it comes to making dinner. I had some leftover pork belly in my freezer (from making this pate) that I was so excited to use up! I considered preparing the pork belly the same way that I did last time but thought I’d […]
The other day I was at home with the day off and got hungry for lunch. I didn’t want to buy lunch because I had bought breakfast so I started rummaging in my fridge to see what I had. The day before I (on a whim) bought some packaged gnocchi so […]
