Yes, I'm still here! We've been in MAJOR kitchen renos since mid-January, and I've been in hibernation. Almost done, though,... Continue reading

Wow, look at that! And here I thought I was on to something. But yes, oven baked trumps fried anyday, no matter what sort of fat you use. Thanks for that link!

Poutine, the REAL food way!
I wrote a post last week based on a Facebook thread that went, well, bad, and it set me to thinking that what is normally considered a junkie dish could, in fact, be made the whole food way. Poutine is considered a Quebec staple. I for sure wouldn't go so far as to call it a delicacy because the...

Not in my backyard, Maggie! It will be chickens before anything else but then I'll be kicked out of my borough. I'll have to find a farmer to board my cow.

Can you be frugal and still be a Real Foodie? 10 Tips.
Let me preface this post by stating clearly that I could not stick to a budget if it slapped me in the face. Okay? But I know that if you are so inclined, eating real food while on a budget IS doable. It's not my area of specialty. So instead, let's talk about being frugal, because that's a nice...

Ha! Thanks Joyce! Seriously, though, try JDA. It's very grocery and we rarely get stuff we don't recognize.

Local Farm Spotlight - Morgan Farms
Autumn made itself known today by dropping the temperature to a chilly 8°C and sending the wind and rain in our way. But a little weather is no reason not to take a drive up into the Laurentians to check out both the changing leaves and an organic farm! Morgan Farms is just over 100km outside...

Sunshinegirl485, yes, the water only just covers the bones when I simmer my stock. Also, I never simmer a chicken carcass for less than 24 hours and beef bones for 72 hours.
Christy - I am hoping to find poultry feet tomorrow at the farm I'm going to visit!

Hi Jill,
I actually shared another post at Fat Tuesday today but would be happy to share this one too!
Kelleigh,
Yes, I was particularly proud of that batch because it was the first one I figured out how to gel. Thanks for your wonderful comment!

Sonia and Giselle - Glad to have you both along! Sonia, are you doing GAPS on your own or is your family doing it too?

Food woes? None here, thank you very much!
Though I have had every intention of really getting into the Real Food thing on my blog, the problem is that I just haven't been able to plain old figure out where to start. It's a chicken and the egg kinda thing, and I'm a bit intimidated by the knowledge that if I write too much your eyes will...

ARGH! I need you to teach me how!! Next year though as Fred gave away half the crop and then we've either eaten the rest perfectly ripe or made them into cakes or crumbles. It's a date for next year!

Pears Galore
This was (snif, sob!) our third summer in the gorgeous space I am so thrilled to be able to call my home. The previous owners were an older Italian couple who had raised their family here and what we got with the house was a huge, very fertile garden plot that I have sadly left to nature, and so...
It's apple season! Easy and healthy dessert recipe.
