When I saw the recipe for Jonathan’s Nutty Fig Toast in the October issue of Food Network Magazine, it haunted me. It looked so bizarre, the flavour combination simple yet unusual, I had absolutely no idea if I would like it or not. So of course, I had to make it! I only made half the recipe […]

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 […]
