We have been in need of comfort foods lately so yes, I made another treat. This time I turned to Martha Stewart’s book Martha’s Entertaining, published by Random House of Canada, for an unbelievably decadent and delicious brownie. One that actually lived up to the term “fudgy”. The Recipe Brush a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with […]
Anne Burrell’s Killer Mac & Cheese with Bacon
Pin ItChef Anne Burrell is a rock star. That is obvious in her cookbook Cook Like a Rock Star, published by Random House of Canada. Not just because she is so flippin’ awesome but because you can hear her voice in every recipe. Not just in the intro but throughout the directions too. I was so excited […]
Bobby Flay’s Bar Americain’s Pumpkin Soup
Chef Flay, we started our journey together with your fabulous pumpkin bread. As a result, I thought it would be fitting to end with your pumpkin soup from your cookbook Bar Americain Cookbook published by Random House of Canada. The steps in between have been wobbly. Your chicken pot pie was fantastic but super complicated. Your blue cheese […]
Cookbook Review: Nadia G.’s Bitchin Kitchen Cookin’ For Trouble
Nadia G’s first cookbook Bitchin’ Kitchen Cookbook: Rock Your Kitchen–And Let the Boys Clean Up the Mess is genius.

Bitchin Kitchen’s Cooking For Trouble Bachelor Pad Thai
Pin ItNot only is this an Italian take on Pad Thai but it is also a “quick and dirty” version thanks to Nadia G’s Bitchin’ Kitchen: Cookin’ for Trouble cookbook, published by Random House of Canada.

Bitchin Kitchen’s Cookin’ for Trouble Spicy Chicken Barley Risotto with Dried Currants and Smoked Gouda
Pin ItOne healthy grain I am in love with is barley. The problem? I don’t think Reg is as much of a fan. I wanted to see how he responded to this risotto fakeout dinner in Nadia G’s Bitchin’ Kitchen: Cookin’ for Trouble cookbook, published by Random House of Canada. And OK, I was curious too. It […]
Martha Stewart’s Focaccia from “Martha’s Entertaining”
This is not my first focaccia-making attempt but it is my first successful attempt. Who did I turn to for guidance and inspiration? Well Martha Stewart of course! I found this recipe in her new book Martha’s Entertaining, published by Random House of Canada. It was long and complicated, making 2 flat breads and 12 rolls. Confusing! Then I saw […]
Bitchin Kitchen Cooking for Trouble’s Soft Little Breads w/ bacon + onions
This recipe is for you: Martha Stewart’s Blueberry Jam Tartlets
Almonds in the crust of these tarts, the filling, sprinkled on top… with layers of blueberry filling inside. The only catch? These tarts take all day to make! I had no idea that blueberries and almonds were a match made in heaven! But that is why we adore Martha, isn’t it? Her foodie wisdom is endless. […]
Foodie Gratitude: Random House of Canada
Random House of Canada has been so good to me. They offered to add me to their media list last year and have sent me the most amazing cookbooks to review. I must have missed the press release for Chef Anne Burrell‘s Cook Like a Rock Star (due to pneumonia messing around with my foodie life) because […]
