I’ve been trying to work up some inspiration for my own wedding cake, and I took a look through my recent cakes. I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I generally get asked for birthday cakes and not wedding cakes, so I don’t have much to go with!
This is a wedding cake I made [...]

So after 3 long years, plus 3-4 more long months of engagement, Scott and I have finally, FINALLY, chosen our wedding date. This time, for real. Nothing but death or dismemberment will be running this one off the road.
I know, I know… And what does this have to do with food? Well, we’ve decided to [...]

Another recipe from Baking that I’ve undertaken in the last while, the Lemon Poppy seed muffins were extremely well received, especially once the lemon glaze was on!
Scott’s favourite muffin is lemon poppy seed, although that preference really stems from those mini grocery store muffins! It’s always easier to justify spending the grocery budget on baking, [...]

Scott. Loves. Mangos. When I saw the recipe for Fresh Mango Bread in Baking, I knew I would have to give it a try. I read Baking for the 10 minutes right before I go to sleep each night, and plan what I’ll make on Saturday. Last Saturday, I already had something planned, but I [...]

This recipe jumped out at me from the spring issue of Flavours which is a complimentary publication put out by our Liquor Commission. It was our first payday dinner, and we were trying to pull out all the stops and cook beyond our comfort level.
I’d never worked with pork tenderloin before, and I’d had very [...]

I’m back finally! Martin was able to get our Internet back on track, and I called Tech Support to get the password and Tech Guy Tyler hooked us back up! I can’t believe I’ve been without Internet since Wednesday!
Anyways, before the ‘break’ I promised the recipe for the Fontina Cheese sauce we made to cover [...]

I love to read blogs that are updated fairly often, and I hate that my fledgling little blog isn’t providing!
I am unfortunately experiencing some temporary Internet problems, that Martin, my brother, has been working on fixing.
I`m still in the kitchen however, and I have some posts baked up for you, as I try to work [...]

I haven’t been able to get into the kitchen to cook lately, hopefully more of that will happen later this week. Luckily, I do have a post on fresh pasta ready!
It was another payday dinner that we decided to make fresh pasta. I’ve always wanted to make my own pasta, but hadn’t felt all that confident [...]

As a cheap and fun way to end the winter, Stacie, Kate (a work friend) and I would get together every payday and make dinner at our place. We’d plan for 2 weeks what we’d cook, and then spend hours preparing the meal while Scott and Ernie (Kate’s young man) would sniff appreciatively and stay [...]

Today is Canada Day!
In celebration, I’ve invited my parents over for a BBQ. I’m doing potato salad, hamburgers, and roasted parsnips and carrots. None of which have recipes that are all that complicated, so I won’t post them. I will however, post a recipe for my favourite bread!
Scott and I have just recently (8 months [...]
