I learned how to make sugared/candied pecans when I found the “perfect salad recipe” at foodtv.ca. When guests come to visit, I always make this salad and what makes it unique and special are the candied pecans. I have tried making candy and I can tell you, most of the time it is so finicky […]

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 […]

July 4, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

Believe it or not, it is still cool and dark and dreary enough here to be craving the comforts of soup. One of my favourite soups that I am super picky about is Hot and Sour Soup. I am very sensitive to heat and yes, I do want a little kick in this soup but […]

Shifting gears from cookies to good health…I have recently been doing a lot of research on Alzheimer’s prevention and reading the book The Alzheimer’s Answer. This illness scares the hell out of me and as much as I wanted to put that book down and not think about it, I kept reading on. I found […]

Recipe Review: Lebanese Baklawa

April 30, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

On the weekend friends of mine were telling me of a less-sweet version of Baklava, they said that it was Lebanese and super delicious. I really love Baklava but I prefer my desserts to be a little less sweet and as you probably know, Baklava is over-the-top sweet most of the time. So I started […]
