Originally published on June 26, 2014 You might think that making tortilla chips is pretty straightforward; I know I did. Slather them with some oil, cut them into triangles, and then throw them into a hot oven. Right? Right? Someone tell me I’m right. Actually, I wasn’t right. And the first time I tried to […]

Quinoa Salad
Originally published on June 28, 2014 Quinoa confuses me. Firstly, yes, when I first saw it on store shelves, I was one of those that contorted my mouth into all kinds of different shapes trying to pronounce it exactly as it’s spelled. When I learned that it was pronounced KEEN-wah, I thought I was all […]
Stuffed Garlic Bread
Originally published on June 29, 2014 Along with potato skins and Buffalo wings, when my husband used to have poker nights, I always had this stuffed garlic bread on the menu – even though it was always all gone by the time I had a chance to sit and maybe swipe a slice for myself. Sadly, we’ve moved […]
Easy-Mix White Bread
Originally published on July 3, 2014 The other day, my Internet went down. I considered it disaster until I went to go make my usual Sourdough Bread and realized that I couldn’t come to the site to get the recipe. Then it turned catastrophic. I was about to have a go at it and just try […]
Crunchy Corn Flour Waffles
Originally published on July 6, 2014 Yesterday I talked about how, after a very long wait, I finally made polenta and it didn’t nearly fulfill my high expectations. Well, it’s a good thing you can do a lot more with corn flour than just make that. Of course cornbread entered my mind, but since it was morning and I […]
Peanut Butter
Originally published on July 8, 2014 Did you ever think you could make peanut butter that was better than what you bought at the store? Or perhaps even more so, did you ever think there was a need to make peanut butter at home? I never did, until one day when I made my summer rolls and needed my Thai peanut sauce to […]
Perfect Lamb Loin Chops
Originally published on July 10, 2014 Welcome, welcome, welcome to my very first post on lamb! Can you believe it?!? This blog has been kickin’ around for five years and I’m just now getting my first post up about lamb! I’m so excited about it, although there is a very good reason why it’s taken me this long – lamb is […]
Bruschetta
Originally published on July 11, 2014 Bruschetta is one of those things that is a favourite of most. What’s not to love about grilled bread, dripping with olive oil and tomatoes, with some fresh herbs sprinkled in? And while bruschetta really is a simple enough dish to pull together, there are a few things to remember if you want it […]
Parisian Scrambled Eggs
Originally published on July 12, 2014 Right now I’m reading My Life in France, by Julia Child. It’s a wonderfully funny and interesting book, and is somewhat familiar to me since it’s what the movie Julie and Julia is based on, and I’ve seen that about a kabillion times. In the book, Julia speaks about a Chef Bugnard that was […]
Perfect Scrambled Eggs
Originally published on July 13, 2014 Because I turned my nose up at the idea of Parisian scrambled eggs yesterday, I thought it only fair to bring you my version of perfect scrambled eggs today. These are small little mounds of eggs that are light and fluffy and, even have a little bit of onion in them (because I love an […]
