Dill Pickle Crock-Pot Bits & Bites

May 25, 2020 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

Yes, I am going through a major dill pickle phase! I have always been a dill pickle fanatic but lately, even more so. When I saw Fake Ginger’s Dill Pickle Chex Mix there was no stopping me from making it! I love bits and bites and have made them before, once in the oven and […]

Super Easy & Simple Rootbeer Float Popsicles

July 25, 2017 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

All of the President’s Choice product reviews have been fun but I need a bit of a break and so it is time to play with food! My favourite popsicles growing up were banana and rootbeer. Both flavours seem to have disappeared so I decided to come up with my own version of rootbeer […]

Old School Traditional Summer Limeade

May 5, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

It is getting hot in Vancouver! Summer seems to have come a little early and I love making old school beverages to beat the heat. I picked up a whole whack of limes for $1.99 at Killarney Market and wanted to make an old-school limeade with them. When life gives you sad-looking limes… I was surprised […]

Strawberry Rhubarb Lemonade and…

July 29, 2013 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

For those wondering if I have created anything since I have gotten back from Toronto, the answer is… sort of. When I was at the grocery store the other day and saw rhubarb was still available, I just knew I had to make strawberry rhubarb lemonade. I thought I was a genius, what a great […]

Looooooooong Weekend Recipes!

May 19, 2012 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

This week I filled up the shopping cart with goodies for the long weekend so I could avoid the craziness of the grocery store. Sadly I forgot celery and carrots! How on earth could I have done that? So it will be back to the store I go but I wanted to share some of […]

My Low Fat Strawberry Nutella Crepes

July 12, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 9 Comments

It has been getting hotter and hotter on the east coast and my desire to turn on the oven to make a treat dwindling. Thanks to fiscal restraints, I have had to experiment a little less and stick to favourite recipes to avoid wasting money and food and wanted to share one of our favourite […]

Letter to my crockpot: You have the summer to prove your foodie worth

July 7, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 14 Comments

Two years ago when I started food blogging I asked the question, “Crockpots: excellent kitchen tool or a waste of space?” I was surprised so many people loved them. What was I missing? One time I did more than just consider donating my crockpot. It was in one of the big garbage bags getting taken […]

Fun and Easy Summer Treats

June 10, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 12 Comments

Although it still doesn’t feel like it, summer is almost technically here on the east coast and I thought I would share some fun treats I have recently created. Above is strawberry-rhubarb lemonade that I made from the discarded liquid when I made Martha’s Strawberry-Rhubard Pielets the other day. I also had a ton of […]

Fresh Summer Corn Salad

June 29, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

Last weekend was the Green Corn Moon, known by many other names including Strong Sun Moon. We seem to be very ahead of the schedule here in Nova Scotia when it comes to corn. When corn is good here, it is unbelievably good. I bought six cobs of corn for less than $1 which makes […]

DIY Iced Cappuccino

It is that time of year. Summer is coming and we are replacing hot beverages with cold ones. As a non-drinker I am always looking for refreshing drink ideas and my dear foodie friend Ava sent me this link for a copycat recipe of Tim Horton’s Iced Cappuccino to try. She had switched the recipe […]
