Crockpot Corned Beef Disaster Turned Knish/Latke Save

December 17, 2012 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

It has been a while since I have had a serious kitchen disaster so it was time! Foodie crisis hit in my kitchen and I managed to turn it around and make something absolutely delicious for dinner. There was a time I would have just thrown it in the compost and ordered a pizza but […]

How not to make stuffed artichokes

May 17, 2012 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

Finally! Artichokes show up maybe one to two weeks a year in my store and this time I snagged some. I was thrilled. The problem? I had no idea what to do with them. My only experience with artichokes was from a jar. I had only eaten the marinated hearts and when I told my […]

Singapore Noodles From Hell

May 11, 2012 by Suzie the Foodie 10 Comments

Does this dish look as devilish as it tasted? It still looks tasty damn it. Oh pretty food, how you seared me so. I wanted to make a recipe from The Spice Bible. The problem? The ingredients. I have many but there always seems to be at least one my store does not carry. In this […]

Happy Foodie Cluster$*&! Monday!

February 27, 2012 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

Some disasters are worse than others. I have had so many screw ups lately I thought I would share them all in one post and try and exorcise the crappy foodie mojo from my life. Most of it is entirely my fault. I got some really bad news that has just broken me down and […]

Looneyspoon peanut-butter, oatmeal and chocolate-chip cookies

February 21, 2012 by Suzie the Foodie 7 Comments

Rest assured that although I have started making videos, I will always include foodie photos for youPin ItReg and I have a tough time. I mean… really tough. I needed a fool-proof easy cookie that we could indulge in for comfort without killing ourselves with cholesterol. I of course turned to Janet and Greta Podleski‘s cookbook The […]

Embracing disaster in the name of foodie-pseudo-science

January 27, 2012 by Suzie the Foodie 7 Comments

I was so excited by the success of my seafood-stuffed-waffle-pizza-sandwich that I just had to try making something else in my waffle maker. Amy from MoMamma suggested I also try making quesadillas, she makes them for her son with cheese. I loved the idea but I wanted to try making it with vegetarian chilly and cheese. […]

Fast and Easy Halloween Creepy Spider Cookies

October 30, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 1 Comment

I have a Facebook friend who wanted a quick and easy cookie to make for Halloween and I found it! I got the idea from a Halloween book published by PILCookbooks.com but appears to be no longer available. Instead of using sandwich cookies I used dark chocolate wafer cookies and I slathered on a ton of marshmallow […]

Taste of Home’s Halloween Ice Cream Treats

October 25, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

I thought I would give Taste of Home one last chance to inspire me to make a Halloween treat and once again, a bit of a disaster. I thought these Halloween Ice Cream Treats would be a clever, easy and pretty foodie idea for a party but what a pain, once again. They just use ordinary […]

The Blueberry Pie From Hell!!!

September 7, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 11 Comments

Growing up, my favourite thing in the world was blueberries. As an adult, I still feel that way. I was talking to my mom about making a blueberry pie and she told me about one she made a long time ago that she swears is the best blueberry pie she has ever had. So of […]
