Pin It Tis the season for soup! And there is nothing I like better than a soup that you use a ham bone in for flavor. Which I didn’t have at the time, but after a Christmas ham, this will be a soup I will make. From Wikipedia: Pasulj or Grah (Serbian Cyrillic: Пасуљ) [...]
Pin It This was just something I whipped up because I had no time, but didn’t want a plain roasted tenderloin. So because Mike and I really like Dijon mustard, I used that as the main flavor. If you don’t like Dijon, this is definitely not the recipe for you. It’s a plain, simple recipe, [...]
Pin It I love Cornish game hens, they are just the right size for quick cooking, a healthy source of protein and relatively inexpensive. I can find them for about $6 apiece at a local super store we have here and I think this year I am going to attempt many more recipes with them. [...]
Pin It I have found my buttercream icing recipe, it’s perfect and I won’t fiddle around with it any more. Promise. Ok, well maybe one day I will try adding a couple drops of lemon juice to it, to give it a little pizazz. You know me and lemon. It’s bound to happen one day [...]
Pin It I love when recipes sound fancier than they are, and this recipe falls right into that category. It sounds time consuming, a recipe you might skip over in a book for that very reason, when in fact, it’s a couple of steps, ingredients that anyone can find and the taste…is fancy. Sure, let’s [...]
Pin It Well, I kicked the tires and lit the fires on my new mixer, she cut her teeth on my first homemade chocolate cake. She still doesn’t have a name, it will come with time, she will let me know her personality and gain her name. Yes, you should commit me, I am talking [...]
Pin It I crave hot pastas in the winter, they are definitely a seasonal fare for me, and I was definitely having a craving when I put this together. Besides the fact that Parmesan is amazing, Asiago cheese is the bees knees when it comes to flavor. This sauce is strong, so if you like [...]
Light as air whipped shortbread that melts in your mouth. No hockey pucks here, just buttery perfection!
The time to start your Christmas Pudding is now.Our family classic is less fruit and more vegetables.I kid you not.
Pin It Alright, the cat’s going to be let out of the bag, the chicken’s gonna flew the coop and all that jazz. Yes, I know that was horrible grammar, and the grammar police are coming as we speak. But not before I share my famous butter tart recipe, the one that is from my [...]
Salty Ritz crackers covered in mint chocolate with broken candy cane on top.Basically legal, less expensive crack.
The easiest truffles you’ll ever make. Psst. They’re even better frozen.Little frozen balls of happy.
Pin It I have a fondness for biscotti of all flavors, and biscotti makes an excellent Christmas gift, because to be frank, anything dipped in chocolate makes a great gift. I also love candied fruit, and to make truly seasonal biscotti the addition of those is perfect! I know these were good because I took [...]
A delectable summertime treat that tastes like pineapple heaven. With whipped cream. ‘Nuff said.
Pin It Thanks to my cookbook give away the other week, I discovered in the comments another kind of bar/dainty that I would like to try. And as per usual, I put my own twist on it, which is very easy to do with 7 layer bars, you can invent the layers as you go [...]
Pin It Necessity is the mother of invention, so they say, and this mother had to make a banana muffin that her kids would eat! I have tried oatmeal banana ones, but they never seem to like them, banana loaf is always a hit but I really wanted to try my new teeny muffin liners [...]
Pin It This was supposed to be a space shuttle, this cake was not in any way, shape or form supposed to look like it did. It was supposed to look like the one on the Berry Crocker website. The bleepers at Betty Crocker though, sneakily used a white cake. My crumb layer failed so [...]
Pin It Easy. Delicious. Has bacon. Do I have you convinced yet? These were a craving one night when we whipped up steak, the same night I realized it must be a uniquely Canadian trait to take out your flashlight with you to check your steak. We barbecue year round, so it’s hard to see [...]
Pin It Finding new and easy ways to make chicken can be so daunting. And boring, extremely mind-numbingly booooor-ing. Just like the same chicken over and over is boring. So I wanted something new and something we hadn’t had in a while. This recipe did the trick, and actually reminded me to get my Uncle [...]
Pin It Ever since I made delicious, chewy brownies and promptly lost the recipe for them, I have been searching for a recipe that creates the same chewy-riffic, chocolate bliss that I once experienced. In the searching I learned a few things, how not to mix the hell outta them when you put in the [...]

Guests will rave about them and ask for your recipe. And you will blush and acknowledge the praise and hand over the recipe with [...]
