Cooking Tutorial: My Perfect Steak

May 24, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 9 Comments

Once again, just as with my perfect baked potato, I need to preface this post by saying the term “perfect” is completely subjective. I think even more so when it comes to steak because everyone seems to like it differently. I have friends who just sprinkle the steak with grill seasoning and fire it up […]

Cooking Tutorial: The Perfect Baked Potato

May 22, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 13 Comments

I know, “perfect” is such a subjective word. I guess I should say “my particular version of a perfect baked potato” but that is kind of long. You can not just throw a baked potato in an oven with some holes in it and then take it out and call it perfect, at least not […]

Sweets for my Sweetie

May 15, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 11 Comments

For the last month my husband has been away. I have been pretty much completely by myself, except on weekends when friends take me out and make sure I do not go utterly insane. It has not been easy. The first week was the worst. After that first horrible week I decided to have wild […]

Tutorial, Recipe & Tons of Drama: Suzie’s Strawberry Rhubarb Jam

May 14, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

I have always wanted to make jam but have been too afraid to try. When I found out that you do not have to go through the whole preserving process to make jam (for some reason I thought it was mandatory) my ears perked right up! You just have to eat it within two weeks. […]

It’s the weekend so pass the popcorn!

May 9, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 13 Comments

You know, I have never been a popcorn fanatic. When I would go to the movies with my family I always got licorice instead. Until I discovered Kernels‘ Dill Pickle Popcorn. That changed EVERYTHING. And now you can get these flavour packets (and I know, super bad for me but I really don’t eat popcorn […]

Tutorial: Homemade Sundried Tomato Pizza Pesto Sauce

May 9, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

Please note this recipe make enough sauce for a small to medium personal-sized pizza. If you want to make sauce to a large pizza, just double the recipe! Technically I suppose this is not a true pesto because it does not have nuts and cheese in it but perhaps the culinary police will let it […]

Cooking Tutorial: How to make roasted garlic

May 7, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 12 Comments

I think the only thing that smells as savory and beautiful than homebaked bread is garlic roasting in the oven. I make roasted garlic all of the time and try to have it on hand for pasta sauces, salad dressings, mix it up with butter or olive oil and slather it on bread…happiness. Roasted garlic […]

Basic Foodie Tutorial: Cookies in Seven Easy Steps

April 28, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

In order for me to understand how to go about making something, I like to break it down into basic steps. Once I can see the “bones” of a recipe, I can connect the rest of the baking dots. A new long-winded recipe can get anyone completely lost. Here are my basic steps to baking […]

Recipe: Banana Mango Smoothie

April 24, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

It’s sunny out today (shocking) and I hear we are supposed to get fantastic weather this weekend and mangoes were on sale…so of course I started to think about smoothies! When it’s warm, I live on smoothies. Sometimes it’s the only thing I can have when the temperatures skyrocket because I am not turning on […]

On this Earth Day in Nova Scotia it’s dark, wet and dreary. The perfect day to make a cup of tea and indulge in a beautiful strawberry margarita muffin. My own invention. Yup, this strawberry-inspired recipe is going in the cookbook too. I think I’m onto to something here! There are a couple of general […]
