Prime Rib

Originally published on June 5, 2012 So it’s a prime rib recipe; what could be bad? Nothing, if you don’t just treat it like any other rib and make the mistake of just putting it in the oven. So that being said, and everyone agreeing that prime rib is delicious, here are a few facts […]

Lunchbox Strawberry Rhubarb Pies

Originally published on June 9, 2012 Rhubarb always takes me back to when I was just a little kid. We used to go over to my grandma and grandpa’s every Sunday, and strawberry-rhubarb pies were often served for dessert. They were some of my favourite, but it wasn’t just the pies that I loved. When […]

Cheese String Bites

Originally published on June 30, 2012 Would you believe that I had to make these three times before I could get a picture of them? (And even still, I’m sorry the quality of the pic isn’t so good.) The first time I made them, I had taken them from Pinterest where the author had said to only […]

Flank Steak Pinwheels

Originally published on August 20, 2012 One of my favourite things on earth is the combination of blue cheese and steak, and that’s why I chose to stuff my pinwheels with gorgeous creamy Danish blue cheese. And well, spinach and red peppers just seemed like a natural fit to go along with those two ingredients. […]

Caramel Apples

Originally published on January 1, 2014 I know, I know. Halloween is over, so why am I posting a recipe for caramel apples on New Year’s Day? Because today is also Apple Gifting Day. I don’t know the origin behind this food holiday, and a quick Google search only told me about the “12 Days […]

Flour Tortillas

Originally published on January 2, 2014 This was one of those recipes that was born from necessity. I didn’t have any bread in the house, but I needed something for the girls’ lunches – and there was no time to go shopping to pick up more. I could have just made my go-to sourdough bread, but […]

Gordon’s Green Bean Satay

Originally published on January 3, 2014 I saw Gordon Ramsay cook this dish on his Food Network show, “Gordon Ramsay’s Ultimate Home Cooking.” (Don’t have the app yet, as I’m waiting for a reason to spend $6.99 on such a thing, but it is available in the App Store.) I was intrigued that someone combined […]

Ree’s Blackberry Cobbler

Originally published on January 5, 2014 My grandmother grows blackberries because of all the health benefits they hold within them. And she grows lots of blackberries. Each summer her plants blossom in all their glory, and she spends a great deal of time talking about the time it takes to just pick the darned things. The plants […]

Tempura Green Beans

Originally published on January 7, 2014 Did you know that today is National Tempura Day? I tell ya, it’s getting hard to keep up with all of these food holidays, with one landing on nearly every single day of the year. Best to just find the ones you really love and celebrate those alone, I […]

Chicken and Waffles

Originally published on January 12, 2014 Who ever first thought up Chicken and Waffles? I just heard of this food a few years ago and at first I have to admit, the thought of it didn’t do much for me. I mean really, chicken and waffles? But as I’ve watched more and more people make […]
