Originally published on May 12, 2014 Today’s post isn’t really a recipe at all, but rather just a “how to” make sauces, breads and rolls, steak, and anything else that you think could use a bit of extra flavour. The secret is compound butter, and not only can you add it to just about anything you want, but you […]

Chicken Pad Thai
Originally published on May 13, 2014 I just recently discovered something. I love Thai food! I love noodle soup, I love peanut sauce, and I love the traditional ingredients that are used, including chilies and peanuts. I also just found out that I really, really love pad Thai. It’s a dish that I’ve always had to stay away from because […]
Breaded Pork Chops
Originally published on May 14, 2014 Way back in the day when I was still a young thing in high school, I had a boyfriend whose mom made the very best pork chops. It was one of the reasons I loved going over there for dinner, even if his parents weren’t the nicest people I’d ever […]
Right on the Rack Pork Roast
Originally published on May 15, 2014 There are about a million different ways you can do pork roast. It’s a relatively neutral canvas so whether you’re feeling Italian, French, or even Southwestern, you can pretty much season it however it suits your fancy at the time. It seems that every time I find a new way […]
Watermelon Tomato Salad
Originally published on May 16, 2014 I always have an abundance of watermelon during the summer (who doesn’t?) and my kids can never gobble it all up before it goes bad. This year though, I’m prepared, with a watermelon margarita recipe, and this delicious watermelon tomato salad. Both are so good, I’ll have to be careful to […]

Roasted Asparagus
Originally published on May 18, 2014 If you’re going to be looking for asparagus this summer, do yourself a favour and don’t buy it from the grocery store. Instead, go to your local Farmer’s Market or find a friendly farmer nearby that’s toiling in the fields so that you can have beautiful plump stalks on your dinner […]
Pamuchim
Originally published on May 19, 2014 One night when I was making Chinese food at home, I wanted to add a little salad. But what kind of salad goes with Chinese food? I didn’t know any, especially those that were straight up vegetables like I wanted and didn’t include noodles of any kind. Luckily, I have a book […]
Nanaimo Bars
Originally published on May 20, 2014 One of my Twitter followers has asked me to post a Canadian recipe, and there are two that I always think of first – butter tarts, and Nanaimo bars. Since I’ve already posted the butter tarts, I thought I’d go with the latter – the scrumptious dessert that originated in Nanaimo, […]
Grilled Mexican Corn
Originally published on May 21, 2014 I’ve been waiting all spring to try out this recipe! When I heard that there was a Mexican street food that included corn on the cob, slathered in mayonnaise and then covered in cheese – I mean, come on. How could I contain my excitement? So the minute my store had […]
