Product Review: Cavena Nuda Naked Oats

September 29, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

“Cavena is a naturally evolved naked oat developed with the support of Ag-Canada.” That is what the packaging says about Nuda Naked Oats. I received this product for testing, excited to try a rice substitute but had no idea what I was in for. This hulless oat that the company refers to as the “Rice […]

The path to healthier food without sacrificing deliciousness

May 18, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

Life continues to be cold and dark here on the east coast. As much as I would love to find comfort in a chocolate cake, believe it or not I am trying to make healthy foodie decisions. It is challenging. As a picky eater, even decadent recipes can leave me unsatisfied but in the name […]

January 14, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 19 Comments

Last Christmas I received the cookbook Rachel’s Baking Secrets (although my book is entitled “Bake”) from my mom for Christmas and have had a great time testing out the recipes. I absolutely adored watching Rachel Allen‘s show Bake, so much so I had to get her cookbook. I have made her Apple and Oat Crumble, Peanut Butter […]

Perfecting My Banana Mango Smoothie

July 20, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

Last year I came up with this recipe for my Banana Mango Smoothie. I can not leave a recipe alone so I tweaked it and made some changes! I am not really into super sweet stuff so what was missing from this mango to make it perfect was a little sourness from some fresh lemon […]

The lovely and most awesome Ava recommended this recipe for A-Number-1 Banana Cake at allrecipes.com and I just had to try it out.

Recipe Review: Emeril’s Banana Bread

May 21, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

I have a friend who is having a hard time and when that happens, my immediate reaction is to bake something. It was challenging coming up with something she could eat because she is pregnant and I learned via my Facebook group just how restricted diets can be for pregnant women. What a bummer! Thankfully […]

With a fork, crush three very ripe but not over-ripe bananas My mother-in-law shared this recipe for a traditional and classic homemade banana bread with me when I started to learn how to bake. It is basic, it is easy and the perfect place for a newbie baker to start. The other day I wanted […]

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. A long time ago in another blog she asked me to try making it and I finally did but halfway through the recipe I realized I only had […]

Banana Pancakes

While my Mom has been here the weather has been warming up and all of the bananas I bought for her visit are rapidly ripening. When my Mom saw them she said, “Banana pancakes are my favourite.” As an adult, I have never had banana pancakes and apparently she did make them when I was […]

Food Network Cooking Club Challenge: Anna Olson’s White Chocolate Banana Loaf

May 10, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 9 Comments

Yesterday I took on The Food Network Cooking Club Challenge for the month of May and made my TV baking teacher Anna Olson’s White Chocolate Banana Loaf. Delicious! It was genius to make a banana bread with pastry flour, the result is super light and not super dense like some banana breads can be. The […]
