Product Review: Girard’s Premium Salad Dressings Part 2

September 30, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

They’re back!!!!!!!!! This time instead of sweet dressings like above, they sent me savory samples. You may recall a little while ago Girard’s sent me some of their new salad dressings to review. Sadly, I did not like them at all. Sweet with a harsh edge, I could only give them one out of five wooden spoons. They […]

I made this salad last night with my own sweet one million tomatoes grown in a hanging basket, unbelievable! Over on my Facebook page we have been discussing a ton of food issues and as you know, I have been on a quest for a real ranch dressing recipe. Wayne recommended a ranch dressing recipe […]

Salad Spinners: love ’em or hate ’em?

August 5, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

I was so looking forward to sharing the joys of my salad spinner with you only to find out that it seems to be a figment of my imagination. It does not exist outside my kitchen. I looked everywhere online and nobody seems to sell this particular salad spinner. The closest I could find is […]

Celebrate National Barbecue Day!

August 4, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

Recently the charity Meal Exchange wrote and informed me that Saturday August 7th is National Barbecue Day! Canadians are invited to register their own backyard barbecue parties to bring their friends and neighbors together for a good cause and potentially win the trip of a lifetime with Westjet! In honour of National Barbecue Day I made this grilled veggie salad. Unfortunately […]

The Quest for “Real” Ranch Dressing… I need your help!

July 27, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

According to Wikipedia, ranch dressing is the most popular salad dressing in the U.S. and has been since 1992. Not only that, it is the most popular dressing in my house. My husband loves it! The issue? Nothing compares to the bottled dressing. So far! I have tried several recipes, all of which he has […]

Fresh Summer Corn Salad

June 29, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

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 […]

Recipe Review: The Neelys’ Grandma Jean’s Potato Salad

May 7, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

Please note: I forgot to mention that you also add some chopped onion and celery to the salad! I had almost given up on finding the perfect potato salad recipe. I had tried so many and most of them were flavourless and boring. A couple of summers ago I saw the Neelys make their Grandma […]

In Homage to Spring: Green Goddess Salad

March 16, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

This week I wanted to explore foods for St. Patrick’s Day but then my husband reminded me that it is kind of a Christian day of celebration and there is even a theory that the “snakes” that were banished were actually pagans/Druids, since snakes have not been in Ireland since the ice age. He also […]

“They may look yummy but they don’t taste that way”

February 16, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 14 Comments

Ever since I made these Salad Rolls I have had this Northern Pikes’ song in my head! I fits perfectly with this foodie disaster. I wanted to try making salad rolls with rice paper because I have never worked with it before. I bought a package and my mom got me all freaked out by […]
