Summer has arrived in all it’s hot, humid, sweaty glory. After complaining all winter about the polar vortex, I have vowed to embrace this summer, and any time where I start to complain about something heat related, I flash back to every freaking layer of clothing I had to put on back in January, and......
I’ve been waiting a whole year to make this pie! This is what happens when your baking BFF lives on the West coast and her rhubarb season comes AFTER yours. By the time Danielle made this last summer and raved about it to me, rhubarb season was finished in Ontario, so onto my Pinterest board......
Last Monday I had to leave work early to go to the dentist, and on the drive home, I noticed a bunch of traffic lights weren’t working. Hmmm, strange. It wasn’t raining, and there was no thunder or lightening, so I just thought it was one of those random things. When I got home......
Our Gastropost Mission a couple of weeks ago was to “Raise a Red Flag” and eat something red for Canada Day. This coincided with an invitation to a barbecue at fellow Gastroposter Libby’s house, and well, wouldn’t you be happy if I showed up at your door with this? Here’s what I had to say:......
This isn’t really much of a recipe, but it must be recorded here for posterity, because this is too much of a good idea to forget. See, two years ago Tracy Shutterbean made some strawberry infused vodka, and it was something she and Joy talked about on one of the early episodes of the Joy......
I’ve been waiting a whole year to make these! That’s part of the fun/frustration about rhubarb season; you gotta be organized or else by the time you decide what you want to make, you won’t be able to find any! This year though, I was planning my rhubarb recipes as far back as April 3rd,......
I’m making good on my promise to become a popsicle ninja this summer, and here are my second ones of the season! My friend Danielle made these last week and said they were so good, she was eating both the rhubarb part and the dreamy creamy part before she even froze them. That’s the sign......
As an individual who goes rhubarb crazy every Spring, I find it so endearing when I come across someone who doesn’t even know what it is. I love trying to explain the flavour, and how it looks like celery, and how it’s actually a vegetable, and how it’s BFFs with strawberries. This happened in my......
You may recall I was full of rage perturbed on Mother’s Day when I couldn’t find rhubarb in time to make this dessert. So obvs I made it for Father’s Day instead! Let’s make this very clear: this is one for the rhubarb lovers of the world. The rhubarb isn’t diced into little pieces like......
RHUBARB week rolls on over here with a foxy little drink I’ve been making for a few summers now. Fellow rhubarb lover Gwendolyn posted this recipe a couple of years ago, and it has the best story behind it (her grandmother’s nickname was Foxy Lady!). I can’t believe I haven’t posted this until now....
