After my trip to Tawse Winery, I ended up with some farm fresh eggs. I generally don’t eat a lot of eggs (they, like chickens, freak me out) but I’m a sucker for farm fresh eggs when I’ve met the chickens that laid them. With my newly acquired dozen eggs I […]
As you all have probably noticed I’ve totally fallen for local (Ontario, duh) wines. Read about my other trips out to Niagara here and here. So when I was invited to join a food bloggers’ excursion to spend the day at Tawse Winery I didn’t hesitate to say […]
Chili is easily one of my favourite meals. Give me a big steamy bowl filled with meat and beans and maybe topped with cheese, sour cream and/or green onions and I’m a happy girl. Usually I don’t make chili with a recipe, I typically just brown some beef with garlic, onions and […]
I’m currently taking a not so great cooking class. The only upside to the class is that when we have our hands-on days our teacher doesn’t make us prepare both recipes in class, we can take our ingredients home and prepare the dish in the comfort of our own homes. Instead […]
One of my food crushes (who doesn’t come up often here) is Marcus Samuelsson. I first learned about Marcus while living in NYC and watching the Today Show. I then had the opportunity to work (briefly) at the PR company that represented him at the time. Through that experience I was […]
A few months ago of Buster Rhino’s Southern BBQ started tweeting about making vanilla extract. I was intrigued. I’m often disappointed by the vanilla you buy at the supermarket. First of all there is that crappy artificial vanilla extract stuff that is pure chemicals. Then there are the “pure” […]
Canadian Thanksgiving just passed and to keep with the seasonal tradition I decided to make a pumpkin pie. But this time around it wasn’t going to be any ordinary pie. I had a tub of mascarpone in the fridge courtesy of my uninspiring and wanted a way to use it up. After […]
A few weeks ago while at Costco I bought a package of tilapia. Now tilapia is not my favourite fish at all but I was making fish tacos (and new I’d be making them often) so I bought a pack. Of course I now feel responsible for finding other ways […]
A few weeks ago I did a post about Quick and Easy Weeknight Meals that a lot of people found helpful. I figured why not give some love to my non-carnivorous friends by suggesting some great vegetarian recipes too? Here are 6 quick and easy vegetarian meals that are great for weeknight suppers and […]
If you’ve been following my blog you know that this year I fell in love with Stratford. It started with a fabulous tour earlier this year hosted by the tourism department that allowed me see a lot of what Stratford has to offer from their farms to top […]
