How To Make Pumpkin Gnocchi

December 6, 2017 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

I LOVE gnocchi! I have made traditional potato gnocchi and sweet potato gnocchi but pumpkin gnocchi was a first for me. After making the pumpkin bread pudding for testing the bake setting on the Cosori pressure cooker I had a ton of leftover plain canned pumpkin. What to do with it??? I turned to this […]

Wedding Anniversary Part 1: Lombardo’s

September 19, 2017 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

It took a village to help us figure out where to go to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary! Lots of our friends on Facebook and Twitter had fantastic suggestions but we ended up following Hi-D’s recommendation and choose Lombardo’s at 1641 Commercial Drive. Why? She said, “It’s cozy and romantic and the food is really […]

August 3, 2017 by Suzie the Foodie Leave a Comment

And Product Review of PC Bacon Flavour Tomato Clam Cocktail So I made the most delicious shrimp risotto with PC Bacon Flavour Tomato Clam Cocktail. How on earth was I going to take product testing to the next level? Take the leftover risotto and make Arancini/risotto balls with it. And more… This recipe makes 6 large […]

Instant Pot Shrimp Risotto Made With PC Bacon Flavour Tomato Clam Cocktail

August 2, 2017 by Suzie the Foodie Leave a Comment

If this dish looks kind of familiar it is because it is based on The Great Big Pressure Cooker Book Shrimp Risotto. Why make it again? A practice I almost never do… Product Review Because the last product I needed to review for President’s Choice 2017 Summer Insiders Collection is their PC Bacon Flavour Tomato […]

Foodie Bucket List: My First Ragù Sauce

June 8, 2017 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

I thought the perfect thing to top my first polenta with would be my first ragù sauce. That way I would get to check off TWO items from my Foodie Bucket List. What is ragù exactly? “Ragù is a class of Italian pasta sauces made with ground or minced meat, vegetables and, occasionally, tomatoes.” Sounds do-able! I turned […]

Chicken Spaghettini Carbonara

January 11, 2017 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

I really want to learn as much as I can about Italian food, especially its sauces. When I discovered how easy it was to make an Alfredo sauce, I knew carbonara was next. It is one of my favourite dishes to get when I dine out. I wanted to know what was behind this fabulous sauce other than the […]

Simple & Decadent Tortellini Alfredo

November 29, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

I am totally loving Gusto TV. I am learning so much, especially thanks to Martha Stewart’s Cooking School. During one of the classes I discovered that the original Alfredo sauce is so simple to make, you will not believe it!  I am currently product testing Duso’s bacon and cheddar tortellini and thought it would be a […]

Suzie the Foodie’s Panzanella Salad

November 17, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

I had a lot of Anna Olson’s stunning focaccia leftover and wanted to make a panzanella salad which is an Italian bread salad. I thought the two were a perfect match and had the most gorgeous heirloom tomato just waiting for me to use it in such a special dish.  The following is a recipe […]

Spicy Sausage Sauce

October 28, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 10 Comments

It has been my foodie dream to learn about sauces. When I found 400 Sauces-Dips Dressings Salsas at a thrift store, I could not wait to start testing out the recipes and truly learn all about sauce-making. Do not go light on the spiciness of this recipe. It is a very simple and basic sauce and will […]

Panzanella Salad

March 4, 2013 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

In order to fix a foodie wrong, I wanted to use the slightly over-baked Gordon Ramsay Focaccia I made and turn it into a panzanella salad. A bread salad?! Those are two of my favourite things! What is there not to like? I sliced off all the crusts around the perimeter of the focaccia. Turned them […]
