Originally published on December 11, 2014 Ah, it’s that time of year again. The time of shopping, parties, decorating, and celebrations – and we still have work and families to take care of during all of it. Sometimes it amazes me that most of us seem to make it out of these holidays still in […]

Breakfast Casserole with Potatoes, Eggs, and Pancetta
Originally published on December 13, 2014 I really don’t get the big deal surrounding pancetta. I’ve only had it in the chunky, already-diced variety that you can get at just about any grocery store these days, and maybe I would feel differently if I tried it thinly sliced instead. But really, what they say is […]
Garlic Cheesy Bread
Originally published on December 15, 2014 Garlic cheesy bread doesn’t sound all that complicated to make, and it’s really not. But if you try to just spread some garlic butter on a bun or a piece of bread, sprinkle cheese over top and throw it in the oven, all you’ll end up with is soggy bread […]
Oreo Cheesecake Bites
Originally published on December 20, 2014 Amid all the crazy Christmas stuff this week, we also had a very special occasion to celebrate in our house this week – it was Brent’s birthday! Oreo cheesecake has become kind of a tradition in our house for his birthday. This year, it was too little too late when I remembered […]
Breakfast Burrito
Originally published on December 23, 2014 We make a breakfast burrito at the restaurant when we serve brunch on the weekends and I have to tell you, it’s delicious. I strongly suggest you use the larger 10″ or 12″ tortillas, but if you don’t have them you can take the much longer, slightly more difficult route that I […]
Chocolate Sugar Cookies
Originally published on December 27, 2014 I think these might be the only cookies I’ve ever made that get better tasting the longer they sit after being cooked. I’ve experienced this a lot with savoury dishes, but don’t think I’ve ever come across it in a cookie. My mom was the first to notice, for instance, that […]
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Originally published on December 28, 2014 Oatmeal raisin cookies aren’t your typical Christmas cookie. They don’t include any icing or chocolate, and you don’t roll them and cut them out into cute holiday shapes. But, when people heard that I spend many afternoons baking cookies at this time of year, I actually had quite a few requests for oatmeal […]
Mocha Nut Butterballs
Originally published on December 29, 2014 Of all the cookies I’ve made this holiday season, I have to say that these are my favourite, and not because they happen to be the most festive. They are soft and crumbly, full of chocolate and espresso, and the icing sugar they’re coated in can’t help but remind one of […]
Chicken Pot Pie with Phyllo Dough
Originally published on January 6, 2015 Chicken pot pie is the dish I always turn to when I have leftover chicken on hand. I turn to it so much in fact, that sometimes I need to find different ways of playing it up, to keep me and my family’s taste buds from boredom. Using phyllo dough […]
Meatballs in a Mustard Cream Sauce Over Buttered Noodles
Originally published on January 9, 2015 I’ve had a lot of luck lately, choosing to fly by the seat of my pants in the kitchen rather than follow a recipe. Last night, I pulled out a pound of ground beef from my fridge and thought I’d turn it into meatballs that were similar to Meatloaf with Bacon Gravy. […]
