As I explained back in August when I went to Tom Colicchio’s ‘wichcraft, I have a bit of a pop culture blind spot when it comes to Top Chef. I watched a bit of Season 7 in the Fall, although I missed more episodes than I watched. So when the All-Star edition started in January, I......

Here are the biscuits that I brought to Alexis and Nick to go along with their Carrot Ginger Soup. Biscuits are the kind of thing that once you get a knack for it, are easy to make, and also completely adaptable. For this recipe, you could add chives or green onions, maybe some crumbled bacon, or......

I feel like I spend just as much time talking about foods I don’t like on this blog, as I doabout what I love.  What can I say, I have issues with a bunch of things, and soup is one of them. About five years ago, I went through a prolonged soup bender. The problem......

Updated with a new picture April 4, 2014 As the E! Fashion Police panel would say, I’m so on trend with these cookies right now. In January they popped up on Picky Palate, and have been all over the place since....

This is my re-creation of the pie of my dreams that I had in Halifax. It’s a pastry crust, filled with butterscotch pudding and topped with whipped cream, and it was a sweet second course at my blog-iversary party. I’m calling this version 1.0, because there are a few things I’m going to do differently next time....

As my 1st blog-iversary approached, I knew I would use it as an excuse to get to some long-drooled-over recipes. At first I had my heart set on this Sweet and Salty Cake, but after Leianne’s birthday cupcakes, I thought I might be over the whole chocolate/salted caramel thing.  Then I was fixated on Crack......

Before I get into posting about the gluttony that took place last weekend at the blog-iversary party, here’s a quick post about some very versatile shredded chicken. I saw this recipe in the January issue of Everyday Food, and it grabbed my attention, specifically because of the buffalo-ness of it all, plus the fact that......

St. Patrick’s Day means only one thing to me: SPRING. Usually by March 17th we’ve seen the last of the snow around here, and hopefully have had a handful of days with double digit temperatures. Today I left my puffy coat and Uggs at home, and went to work in a light jacket and flats.......

I had a super fun, though way too brief, visit with Danielle in St. John’s after my work trip to Halifax last week. Obviously we got up to some good eats (and maybe a trip to Bulk Barn for peanut butter M&Ms and mini-eggs). The main downtown strip in St. John’s is George Street, and it’s......

In 2008 I spent two weeks in Halifax, and it was amazing for so many reasons. My family is from a tiny town in Nova Scotia, but this was my first time in the city. I had so much fun, and my best work friend Paulette was with me the whole time. We worked hard......
