From the monthly archives: September 2010
Every once in a while I get consumed with the idea of making a particular dish. It could stem from a particular craving, the desire to not go out to eat or simply undertaking a challenge. I can’t quite remember what triggered my craving for fish and chips, although I […]
I’ve always liked the idea of “power bars” and granola bars. Over the years I’ve tried so many different bars and been disappointed by so many of them. My favourite bars by far are Larabars.
What’s really awesome about Larabars is that their ingredients list are shockingly short and shockingly simple. […]
I’ve never really given mussels too much though, especially not making them. Sure if I go out to a restaurant and there happen to be mussels in my dish I will eat them but I rarely (if ever order mussels). There’s no real reason whatsoever for that. I think I just […]
A few months ago I had the opportunity to visit Stratford for a delightful culinary adventure and fell in love with the place. I only experienced a small sampling of the culinary treasures in Stratford/Perth County and I was thrilled. Throughout my visit I was reminded about the
My dear friend Shea posted this recipe for Oven Fries on her fabulous blog, Hungry in Brooklyn that I couldn’t resist trying. I mean I love fries (I always have a bag of frozen ones in the freezer, guilty pleasure) and never feel like heating up oil to fry […]
One of the great things about living in NYC was the access I had to some of the top trend-setting restaurants. Granted my entry level salary didn’t really allow me to dine at Le Bernardin but I was able to try a lot of the more moderately priced spots.

Part of my love for cooking comes from my thriftiness and desire to eat foods closer to the source. I started baking my own bread because I was tired of seeing High Fructose Corn Syrup or Glucose/Fructose in the supermarket stuff. Another candidate for tackling myself has been making […]
Despite having been out of school for about 5 years now, September still signifies I change in tempo. With the days getting shorter it’s hard to get fired up to make an extravagant 2-hour dinner on a Tuesday night when it’s already dark by 6pm. Every once in a while I need a recipe that […]
A few months ago I posted about my trip to One Love Vegetarian restaurant where I finally got to try their famous corn soup. It was delicious and I could totally eat that all the time.
Since corn has been so fantastic this summer I decided to make the soup […]
I’ve always heard of burgers being served on English muffins. And I’ve always been a bit weary about them. Doesn’t the whole idea sound a bit like something Rachael Ray would dream up and call it a “sammie”?
I was on David Lebovitz’ site and he posted about his […]
