When the header note for a pancake recipe describes it as basically a “…fresh, hot, buttery, flat, crunchy corn muffin” the first thing you do is take a second to ponder each of those adjectives separately. The second thing you do is start heating up your pan. This pancake recipe is a little bit more......
Here’s the final treat I mixed up for my low-key day of Cinco De Mayo treats: a spicy chocolate chocolate chip cookie with cayenne and cinnamon. I saw this recipe in my Mom’s Chatelaine and thought I would give it a try; it’s from the Tacofino Food Truck, operating out of Tofino, BC. The......
Just over two years ago, I posted a recipe for Cocoa Brownies with Browned Butter & Walnuts, which was the cover recipe on the first issue of Bon Appetit I received in the subscription my friend Danielle got for me. I wrote about my major magazine hoarding tendencies, and two years later I can say......
What’s that you say? Cinco de Mayo was last week? I know, I know. I just didn’t really have time and/or energy to plan a feast like last year, so instead I just made myself a few little Mexican-inspired snacks throughout the day as I worked on some spring cleaning projects around the house......
It’s Spring! Yay! I’m currently waiting for rhubarb to show up at the farmer’s market near my house, and rejoicing in the knowledge that fresh, local, delicious strawberries are only about a month away. I also busted out a neon coral blazer at work last week, wore open-toed shoes this week, and completed my annual......
I’ve been fairly neutral on the whole Nutella issue for most of my eating career. Ours was not a Nutella household growing up, but it was a fixture at my childhood friend Jennifer’s house.

It’s taken me a couple of weeks to pull this post together, but it was important for me to document everything I learned. You’re about to get a crash course on Day 2 of the Food Bloggers of Canada Conference. Let’s do this panel by panel: Bloggers & Brands/PR – Best Practices for a Happy......
Do you know the difference between a Front-End Loader, Digger, Excavator and Grinder? I sure do, thanks to extensive Google Image searches last week in preparation for my nephew’s cake for his 4th birthday. He was pretty specific about what he wanted, but when I saw him the day before his birthday and asked......
Like many Canadians, I was introduced to the Black & White Cookie by way of Seinfeld. (Other notable food from the show: babka, Jujyfruits, marble rye and of course, soup.) The Baked boys note that the Black & White cookie is the quintessential New York City cookie. Sadly, the first one I ate was not......
I just got back from a whirlwind weekend at Hockley Valley for the 1st annual Food Bloggers of Canada Conference. Over the past few years, I’ve read about food blogging conferences in the US and always thought it would be something I’d like to go to, but I wasn’t sure if it was really for......
