Oh how I love Charcutepalooza! While I didn’t have to challenge myself with last month’s theme (as posted here) this month’s challenge definitely made me bring it. This month was all about brining. The Apprentice Challenge (which I skipped) involved brining a whole chicken or pork chop. I decided […]
While I was in Miami for the holidays I bought a copy of the on sale. I’ve already made the lemon bars with success so now it’s just a matter of cooking my way through the book.
I decided to tackle the scones. Oddly enough I NEVER […]
Many of you are probably wondering what the heck Charcutepalooza is. I’ll start at the beginning.
When I put together my 2011 food goals, one of my goals was to experiment with charcuterie (sausages, ham, pâtés, and other cooked or processed meat foods). Not necessarily just eating them but making […]
Sure, I’ve been making my own Larabars and granola for a minute now but I’ve never even considered making my own granola bars. The funny thing is I generally find myself underwhelmed by the granola bars available in the supermarket. They generally have a lot of sugar, the ingredients […]

Every once in a while I like to look at what my most popular posts are. I’m often surprised. To wrap up 2010 I figured I’d share with you the top 10 most popular recipes posts of the past year. These aren’t recipes that were posted this year but the most popular posts of the […]
It was only a matter of time before I went ahead and made my own bacon. I mean I’ve been extolling the virtues of bacon for years and had long-declared that “everything tastes better with bacon” long before the phrase was a part of our vernacular. My primary bacon used to be […]
CONTEST IS CLOSED
*Read to the end of this post for your chance to WIN!*
This doesn’t come up on the blog too often but I’m a HUGE tea drinker. When I was in high school and the first year and a half of university I was a coffee and Coke […]
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 […]
