Suzie’s Craisin Bread

July 6, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

I think I have finally stopped playing around with this recipe and found the perfect combination for my cranberry breadmaker bread that I loved to have with tea in the morning. For those who know all about “real” breadmaking, feel free to give this a shot. With my sore hands there is no way I […]

Have it your way

June 30, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

Recently, I have been dreaming about making chocolate cheesecake. A lot! In fact, I was talking to my husband about it in my sleep, asking him to make sure I buy the ingredients so I could make it for him and his dad. Apparently, my chocolate cheesecake has magical abilities to make people feel better. […]

Baking Tutorial: How to make a homemade pie from scratch

June 24, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 11 Comments

Above you can see some cold butter that I have cut into piece and put into some flour in a very deep stainless steel bowl. One of my pet peeves in the kitchen is mess. I like the deep bowl because I can be aggressive when mixing the flour and butter together with my pastry […]

White Chocolate and Orange Kissed Cookies

I finally found some time and energy to bake recently and came up with my own recipe for these divine cookies! It makes a large batch and I promise you, these are way better if you do not over bake them in the oven. You want them soft and lovely, they are fantastic that way. […]

A Taste of Home

June 18, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

Pizza never used to be a comfort food to me. It was just something to get when I did not have the energy to cook. It was filler food. My homesickness has been really bad lately and so I started craving our favourite pizza on Vancouver Island: Ali Baba‘s Phat Philly. Where else can you […]

Mom and I explored a lot of Latvian cuisine while she was visiting and we were determined to tackle one of the fancy Latvian desserts from the Latvian Cooking cookbook my mom bought for me at the Latvian Canadian Centre. I have a great love for hazelnuts and was thrilled to find out that they […]

GET RECIPE! I was first introduced to the recipe for Coconut Banana Bread with Lime Glaze from Cooking Light Magazine by the lovely AwtemNymf, The Faerie Whisperer.

Baking Tutorial: Homemade Brownies

May 26, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 7 Comments

I will admit something embarrassing here. Brownies are my baking nemesis. They either come out too wet or too dry which is very frustrating. I often buy dry mixes instead of making them from scratch, shocking I know! Brownies have a lot of rules to them. I will go through these rules with you today. […]

Homemade Whole Wheat English Muffins

May 17, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

I have been trying to like whole wheat anything forever. I have tried making whole wheat bread and so far, no luck. I always try to find healthy versions of food and if I am going to eat carbs, they had better give me something in return. With my strawberry rhubarb jam taunting me in […]

Sweets for my Sweetie

May 15, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 11 Comments

For the last month my husband has been away. I have been pretty much completely by myself, except on weekends when friends take me out and make sure I do not go utterly insane. It has not been easy. The first week was the worst. After that first horrible week I decided to have wild […]
