Cold Berry Soup Recipe

July 9, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

For weeks now I have been waking up trying to come up with a recipe for Cold Berry Soup. You see, in the last issue of Victoria Magazine they had a section dedicated to cold soups for the summer. I saw the Old-Fashion Strawberry Soup recipe and thought, no, that is not right. That is […]

Chocolate Strawberry Paninis

I am always trying to come up with new ways to use my bread and this week I have a whole loaf of my Craisin Bread sitting there saying, Suzie, do something creative with me! I love working with foods that are in season and I am kind of absolutely crazy about fruit, especially berries, […]

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 […]

Coconut Banana Bread with Lime Glaze

June 7, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

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 […]

More Mango Madness!

May 25, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 12 Comments

Mangoes are crazy expensive these days, at least in Nova Scotia. Our produce prices are ridiculous! As a result, I have had to become a very picky shopper and wait until foods go on sale or are marked down. Luckily I found two mangoes were being sold for $1.29, half price. Thus, the mango madness […]

How to peel and cut up a mango

May 25, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 10 Comments

When I made my homemade mango sorbet, Bohemian Single Mom made an excellent comment. She mentioned that she rarely buys mangoes because by the time you remove the peel and the giant seed, there is so little left. I felt the same way and then I saw someone on TV remove the peel with a […]

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 […]

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 […]

Recipe: Easy & Healthy Mango Sorbet

Yes, another mango recipe but hey, they have been half off at my store so I can actually afford them! If there is another fruit out there on sale where you are that you would like to turn into a sorbet instead, go for it. One thing I like about mango is it does not […]
