Sainsbury’s sponsored me to do a video post of their Keema Curry recipe. What an opportunity! But I was nervous. What if I did not like the recipe? What if I took one bite and hated it? Oh the risks we foodies take. Thankfully, I LOVED it! Here I am eating it out on my […]
Watch me use the KitchenAid Diamond Blender for the first time in my kitchen. I make one of my favourite smoothies: Very Berry. Yum! Yes, I am wearing a Wonder Woman t-shirt because this video is totally legit. Reg and I had just been out doing some weeding and came in around dinner time to […]
I know there are a lot of people out there new to making homemade ice cream. I wanted to share a super easy technique I came across that would make anyone tentative about ice cream become an ice-cream-making-freak like I have apparently become. This recipe is inspired by my mom’s sister Laima (right in the […]
I made mini English muffins the other day to product test Wendell Estate Honey and realized, why not share the recipe? The great thing about English muffins is you do not bake them, they are cooked in a pan or on the grill. Perfect for making treats in the summer. The first time I made them they […]
It is still feeling very much like winter here and the other day I was craving soup. Not just any soup, tomato soup. But I wanted something more. Something more complex and potentially interesting. I found this recipe and took off with it. I am so glad I did. This is the best tomato soup I […]
My original Breadmaker Caraway Rye Bread post (now updated) was the first recipe I shared on my blog. That was over three years ago! The original recipe that I linked to seems to have disappeared so I am going to go through making it with you. You could of course make this from scratch with a […]
We had an interesting discussion on Facebook the other day as I was making my homemade vanilla ice cream. Agnes asked if all that work to make homemade ice cream was worth it? Not only does it taste so much better, it does not have take all day. It can be done quite swiftly and […]
Yes, this was one big delicious foodie mistake, I am happy to admit! Sometimes following the foodie energy will take you to even better places than a recipe promises. I wanted to make Chef Lindsay Cameron Wilson‘s recipe for Rhubarb Eton Mess for the Dairy Farmers of Canada’s Chef Pantry Challenge. But I ran into a snag! So […]
I was in the mood for decadence and I seriously doubt if there is anything more decadent than fudge. Oh how dangerously easy everything melts together in a square pan of fabulous goo. This is my take on a popular recipe floating out there in the cyber world. I worked with what I had and […]
During the last six weeks stuck in bed resting, I yearned for homemade bread! Even with my KitchenAid mixer and Folding Proofer, I did not have the energy to make anything because I was so sick. I mourned my old breadmaker’s demise. A Holiday Treasure We bought Reg’s parents this breadmaker during our first Christmas here. That was […]
