We’re in PRIME grilling season here in Canada. When you live in a freezing cold climate more than 50% of the year, cooking and eating al fresco is one of life’s great pleasures. Which is why come summer, we take full advantage of the barbecue. You all know we like our pizza on the regular over…

Mushroom Stroganoff
I have been dying to share this recipe. I would be shouting ‘MUSHROOM STROGANOFF!’ from the rooftops if it was at all socially acceptable. Short ingredient list. Cooks in under thirty. A monkey could make it. That’s a classic triple threat, right there. Wait. It’s also just-try-holding-me-back-from-eating-the-whole-pot delicious. Quad threat. I’ve been holding this little recipe…
How to: Quickie Meal – Creamy Goat Cheese Pasta
2015! This year, I resolve to eat more gluten. All the better if said gluten is in the form of rigatoni. Because, rigatoni. Need I say more? I’ve made this recipe with nearly every shape of pasta out there. It works well with them all, including whole grain and GF options. It is truly the…

The potluck theme for this meeting is 80s decadence, which is based on the book (apparently). Shockingly, the food portion of the evening has taken…
How to: Seasonal Cooking – Kale, Beet and Goat Cheese Pizza
Hard to believe seasonal cooking would include fresh veg. But no word of a lie, these beets hail from Bradford, Ontario. They’ve been cellared since their harvest in the fall and have maintained all their beet-y goodness. I’m in the midst of a beet kick. I’ve got a big ass bag to work my way…
How to: Seasonal Cooking – Grilled Peach Farmers’ Market Salad
I really hope you have access to a farmers’ market. If you do, I really hope you take advantage of it. Eating ‘local’ has become remarkably trendy. The local food movement is not just a focus of hardline environmentalists either. Making choices to support our local growers and communities has become popular. Yay! I take…
