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. […]
How to Get Summer Fresh Tomatoes in the Dead of Winter
Originally published on January 13, 2015 It’s winter. It’s cold, and now there is actually snow on the ground. And because it’s so cold, the top layer of snow has actually turned to ice. So you don’t only get to walk through it (taking three times as long as it normally would), you get to stomp with […]
How to Turn Regular Oats into Quick-Cooking Oats
Originally published on January 14, 2015 If you ever make Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, bake with oatmeal, or just like a nice steaming bowl of it for breakfast, you know just how many different kinds of oats are out there on the market. But do you really need to buy steel cut, quick-cooking, and regular large oats to make […]
Steak with Pepper Sauce
Originally published on January 17, 2015 There’s nothing better than a good steak with a steak sauce or spice that’s as equally good. This recipe gives you both with a great sauce that’s got just the right amount of spice. Although it’s a pepper sauce, I tend to stay away from putting whole (or even cracked) peppercorns in it. […]
Roasted Spicy Potatoes
Originally published on January 22, 2015 Can you believe that to make roasted potatoes I used to just toss some potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper? Yep, before I knew about boiling potatoes and “chuffing” them as you do in Jamie Oliver’s Roasted Potatoes, or even boiling them in the oven (yes, the oven) and still calling them roasted […]
