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 […]

August 19, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

Yes, I am back to working with strawberries because they seem to be the only berry on sale lately! What is new is that this is my first marmalade. Not only that, I think I have only eaten marmalade once in my life and man, it was so tart I thought I would never make […]

We Sure Can’s Rhubarb Strawberry Jam

July 28, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

Summer in a jam jar Is there anything more satisfying and decadent than making your own homemade jam with summer produce?! I seriously doubt it. I have such fond memories of my mom making jam and especially of eating it when I was a kid growing up in Toronto. How wonderful to make it now […]

Cheesecake is Reg’s favourite dessert and I knew we would end up eating all of it ourselves (and we did over time). I turned this recipe into a low fat version […]

I knew I wanted to share my strawberry Nutella crepes recipe with you but being, well, me… I wanted to see if I could add something to them that would take them over the top. I asked myself, how about a sauce? I LOVE sauces! A chocolate sauce would have been too heavy so I decide to […]

It has been getting hotter and hotter on the east coast and my desire to turn on the oven to make a treat dwindling. Thanks to fiscal restraints, I have had to experiment a little less and stick to favourite recipes to avoid wasting money and food and wanted to share one of our favourite […]

Fun and Easy Summer Treats

Although it still doesn’t feel like it, summer is almost technically here on the east coast and I thought I would share some fun treats I have recently created. Above is strawberry-rhubarb lemonade that I made from the discarded liquid when I made Martha’s Strawberry-Rhubard Pielets the other day. I also had a ton of […]

Looks pretty doesn’t it? Oh the hell I went through to make them! But this is why we love Martha, isn’t it? To take on the toughest baking challenges and wow the hungry crowd with our time and patience. If you are someone looking for such a challenge, you must buy Martha Stewart’s New Pies and […]

Click here for the recipe Last week I could barely move my right arm because of a shoulder injury. I had these anemic California strawberries and limp rhubarb that just had to be used or I was going to have to compost them. That is when I remembered that you can make jam in the […]
