Last weekend was the Green Corn Moon, known by many other names including Strong Sun Moon. We seem to be very ahead of the schedule here in Nova Scotia when it comes to corn. When corn is good here, it is unbelievably good. I bought six cobs of corn for less than $1 which makes […]
I do not know if you can call strawberry rhubarb pie retro but you absolutely can call it a classic! We will be getting our first day of really warm weather today so yesterday while the rain was gently falling outside I decided to make a pie white it was still cool. I was inspired […]
On Foodtv.ca’s forums we have been discussing retro food. We really did not want to make aspic so we chose summer Jell-o molds instead. Am I ever glad we did! This recipe is inspired by Ace of Cake’s Duff’s Mom’s Cherry-Walnut Gelatin Mold Recipe which was published in the May 2010 issue of The Food Network Magazine. I got […]
It is that time of year. Summer is coming and we are replacing hot beverages with cold ones. As a non-drinker I am always looking for refreshing drink ideas and my dear foodie friend Ava sent me this link for a copycat recipe of Tim Horton’s Iced Cappuccino to try. She had switched the recipe […]
My favourite ice cream in the whole world is coffee. When other kids wanted chocolate, I asked for Häagen-Dazs coffee ice cream. It smells beautiful and its warm cappuccino taupe colour still makes me feel all warm inside even as my mouth freezes as I eat it. When I saw Pastry Studio’s Turkish version, I […]
The idea to turn my Green Iced Tea into Green Tea Lemonade came from the ultra fabulous Bohemian Mom last year. It is so easy that I have preferred making it this way ever since. Yes, from the photograph above you can see that most of our days are dark here but I can pretend […]
One of the perks of living in Nova Scotia is the seafood, if you like seafood. If not, I suggest you click away right now. This week cooked lobsters were on sale for about $3 at my Superstore. I bought one and wondered, can you make lobster bisque with one lobster? Turns out you can! […]
In our house growing up my dad would make two dishes in the kitchen: spaghetti and chili. His chili is wonderful and hard to beat. Even though as a child I removed each and every kidney bean from my bowl, I still loved every other bite of his chili. It tastes like home. I have […]
Last weekend I was inspired to try something new for brunch and checked out the Neelys’ recipe for bread pudding. I made some changes and created my own version using my leftover Craisin Bread that I had in the freezer. You do not need a lot of special ingredients for this recipe but you do […]
If you love Greek desserts, check out my baklava post too! One of my favourite Greek dishes ever, I adore spanakopita. Spinach and feta wrapped in flaky phyllo dough, this treat is low in carbs, high in iron and out of this world in flavour. Vegetarians, this one is for you! I was inspired by […]
