It’s my mission this summer to make as many s’mores desserts in a variety of formats as I can. If you invite me to an event this summer, you can be sure I will arrive with a s’mores pie/cake/cookie/bar/pudding/ice cream/popsicle/doughnut. My ultimate goal for the end of August is to have a s’mores party with......
Still a little bit behind here everyone, but I’m on a mission to get caught up this week so I can get back to posting in real-time! Summer salads! Graham cracker disasters! Roasted strawberries! We’ll get there friends, I promise....
Welcome to the finale you guys! Let’s go to the Beach! For our last Quickfire, Mark and Thea announce that the chefs have 2 hours (taking the Quick out of Quickfire) to create a post-game BBQ for some volleyball players that’s centred around Rickard’s beer – red, white and dark. The winner is the chef with the best main......
I know I was just talking about the Smokin’ Stampede BBQ sauce I bought at Loblaws after being brainwashed by a Top Chef Canada episode, but did you know it is so easy to make your own barbecue sauce at home? I didn’t, until I saw my old friend Christine Cushing make some coffee barbecue......
I’m a little bit embarrassed to admit this, but after that episode of Top Chef Canada a few weeks ago, I made a special trip to Loblaws. Yes, I was totally brainwashed 🙂 Since I have a Metro right across the street, as well as in the same mall as my gym, I don’t really......
And here we are at the penultimate episode my friends! I’m the first to admit, I have a little bit of Top Chef Canada fatigue. I think it was pretty obvious who the final 5 were going to be (see my early prediction from Episode 4; I had them all right except for Andrea), and at......
These two topics aren’t really related, except I thought my summer reading stack might make a cute background for these great popsicles. Last summer I made Mocha Fudgesicles at the very end of August, and so I wanted to be right on top of my popsicle making at the beginning of the warm weather this......
It’s crunch time, friends! Down to the final 5! This episode starts with Dale talking about how much he misses his son, how much he wants to win, and how much he wants the money. Francois says he didn’t have any fun on the bottom last week. Connie misses Andrea, and feels pressure as the only......
The human garbage disposal has left the building! Yes, it’s true, my co-worker Barry – the bottomless pit/treat monster – has moved on to another company. Luckily he’s only going to be about two blocks away, but still, it’s sad to see him go. In honour of his last week, I thought it would be fitting......
Chef Lynn Crawford’s in the house this week, and she’s got her hair did – it’s usually pretty wild on Pitchin’ In. The Quickfire this week is to design both a morning and afternoon snack size meal for Porter Airlines. The food has to fit into the little boxes, and everything needs to be served chilled or......
