Martha Stewart’s Mini Raspberry Galettes

April 27, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 14 Comments

Thanks to Random House Canada I have had the opportunity to put yet another recipe from Martha Stewart’s New Pies and Tarts cookbook through my test kitchen. How lucky a foodie am I?! But I did something Martha may not approve of. I changed her recipe. And… I paid the price! You will find Martha’s original […]

You all know how much I adore my mixer named Rebel right? You also know that her head fell off a while ago and my husband put it back on but then it would not lock into place. What you don’t know yet is that I had been told by Sears to take it to […]

Right out of the box, all shiny and new! Here is one of the most important tools in my kitchen. It is funny. As a creature of habit, it took me months to remember to use my mixer instead of making cookies by hand. I would start creaming the butter and sugar together and then… […]

Welcome to My Peanut Butter Nightmare

Yes, because I was still an optimist at this point about making a treat with peanut butter… I tried again. I thought it was fate. All grumpy from my peanut butter brownies turning into saturated sugary hell I sat down in front of the TV and watched the show Cook Yourself Thin for the first time. […]

She looks deceivingly beautiful and delicious, doesn’t she???!!! I must make something very clear, this is not a recipe review. The following is totally all my bad and not Ina’s fault for me completely screwing up her brownies. This is one of the worst times of year for me when it comes to food. If […]

Christmas Eve Kitchen Disaster

December 24, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

I made the dough for my cinnamon buns last night and woke up to find it oozing out of its bowl and beyond the plastic wrap that I tried to secure it with the night before. Oh well! You can tell the kitchen anarchy of Christmas is upon us. I have many other foodie memories to […]

Kitchen Disaster: Out of Old Nova Scotia Kitchens’ Gingerbread Recipe

December 1, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 9 Comments

My childhood friend Lisa wrote me recently and asked me if I had a good gingerbread recipe. I realized that I did not! The closest thing I had to that were the ginger cookies I had made a little while ago. This inspired me, I went on a quest for great homemade gingerbread. I turned […]

Halloween Foodie Disasters

Normally I try and celebrate my disasters, I write about them all the time. Halloween foodie disasters? That is an entirely different story. These make me want to throw in the foodie towel.

Damn! Well as if these crappy crumpets were not bad enough… The original recipe has disappeared! Sorry about that foodies. Before I sign off for a while I wanted to share my homemade crumpet story. This probably looks like a success story, this cute heart-heart crumpet with homemade peach jam, I assure you, it is […]

Warning: Raspberry Ice Cream & Meringue Basket Disaster ahead!

My husband was away for three weeks for work and I wanted to make him raspberry ice cream for his homecoming. He loves raspberries. After all the work that went into making coffee ice cream I wondered if there was a super easy and fast way to make it so I checked youtube and found this […]
