I’ve been on a taco bender ever since I started making my own tortillas at the end of the summer. To keep things interesting (and relatively healthy), I’ve been doing some roasted veggie fillings, like this one from Eat, Live, Run with roasted corn, red peppers and black beans, topped with chipotle sour cream and......
How do you organize the recipes you want to make? I would say I’m a bit of a hot mess in the area. I have a folder of favourites on my work computer (categories: Dinner, Treats, Breakfast, BBQ, Other Stuff), another system on my personal computer at home (categories: Treats, Pioneer Woman), a huge stack......
Updated with a new picture June 29, 2015 My friend Kathleen is a pretty amazing person overall, but especially in the kitchen. She works a full-time job and still manages to make wholesome nutritious meals for her family (husband and almost 2 year old daughter) every night. On Sundays she kicks it old school and......
I was planning on going all ‘Anna & Kristina’s Grocery Bag’ on Gwyneth Paltrow’s cookbook My Father’s Daughter, but it still hasn’t happened. If you’ve never seen it, or don’t regularly watch the W Network, on the A&K show they take a cookbook and make 6-8 recipes from it, and decide if they would recommend it to......
Behold my birthday cake! After baking for others all year (which I love, don’t get me wrong), this is the most wonderful time of the year when I make whatever I want. It’s an excuse to make something over-the-top, or with a guilty pleasure tucked inside, and this year, it was all about re-creating this most......
Happy Belated Thanksgiving you guys! I had a very relaxing long weekend, and my appetite returned just in time for me to feast. I wasn’t feeling so hot when I returned from my 48 hour anxiety attack, but I just took it easy last week and I was in fine form on Sunday night. My Mom’s turkey......
Baby Wall 2.0 is here! Lydia & Andrew’s new baby Dylan Jackson was born last Sunday afternoon, while I was stuck at the most vile hotel in history on my way back from my work trip. I had my fingers crossed for the two weeks I was away hoping that this little one would ignore his......
Here is a list of the ingredients I can’t pronounce on my whole wheat tortilla package: sodium acid pyrophosphate, potassium sorbate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium propionate, monoglycerides, sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate, fumaric acid, cellulose gum, carrageenan, maltodextrin...
Dessert in a jar was so on trend for Summer 2011. I had been seeing cute ideas all over the blogosphere, but it was the cherry cheesecake in jar at Charcut that really put me over the edge. I found a package of 12 jars at Wal-Mart for about $10, and I was super excited to bust them......
Remember a few weeks ago when I was talking about being a tomato snob? Well let me tell you I found some incredible tomatoes at the Square One farmer’s market at the end of August, and when tomatoes are that good, you really need to do as little as possible to make them into a delicious......
