AWESOME finds. When I travel I am ALWAYS hauling back food stuffs!!!

Shopper Extraordinaire
I am always a little embarrassed about shopping when I travel. A close family friend once scoffed at his wife’s foreign shopping excursions. He insisted that it was worse than frivolous because there are sights to see, museums to take in, and cultures to experience. In his opinion, shopping in m...
I am absolutely in LOVE with this post Jan. I was BIG into Lego when I was little :)

DIY: Simple Lego Party Decor
My sweet boy turned 10 yesterday. For tenth birthdays we don't do parties, but instead I take the boys on a trip, just the two of us. When Ben hit his double-digit birthday we went to New York City for four days, and Jackson and I are now making plans to visit Washington, DC, in March when ...
Jan these are like all my favourite flavours in one bite. LOVE. Bookmarked!

Candied California Walnut, Pear and Aged Cheddar Cheese Dreams
When I worked in catering one of the most popular items on the cocktail menu was something we referred to as Cheese Dreams; bite-sized quarters of gourmet grilled cheeses stuffed with caramelized onions, bacon and cheddar. They were a party-goers food fantasy for late-night snacking, especial...
Love that you used goat gouda! And your pictures are beautiful!

The Importance Of Intrigue
Naming a dish is the toughest yet most crucial part about recipe writing. At the bare minimum, the name ought to accurately reflect the content of the dish without being too wordy. Ideally, it should intrigue the readers enough for them to read on. You want to take your readers on a culinary j...
My favourite part of the summer is the beginning, when school has just finished. So may possibilities ahead, so full of promise!

Cadbury's Bicycle Factory: A Giveaway
Keeping a stash of chocolate on hand is a summer must-do in our house because of our s'more infatuation. Thanks to the fire pit we purchased last year, our s'more making days are not relegated to camping trips and cottage visits only. A long bike ride followed by an evening of s'more making is j...
I am due to make some more granola this weekend and think I might try this. Looks amazing. Last batch I *nearly* used cried cherries but went with cranberries at the end of the day. I like the idea of cherries!

You know those movies that make you stop in your tracks? The ones that beckon you to stay up later than you should if the television happens to land on it just before bedtime. The movies that speak to you, striking a chord, so perfectly that you just have to stop what you're doing. I was ready...
Jennie, thanks so much for this thoughtful post. It is a quiet reminder that perseverance counts for much in this crazy crazy competitive world. I will be first in line for your book! Can't wait to see where 2011 takes you!

good night 2010
I pulled the curtains back after waking the girls last week, and happened upon this sight through their bedroom window. It was that moment after dawn, with the moon dipping into the horizon. A real-life variation on Margaret Wise Brown's childhood classic. I called the Mr. and girls, then ran ...

Once upon a story: Bacon Guacamole
Now that I have your attention, let's talk! So I got this wonderful little book in the mail the other day called "Recipes Every Man Should Know," by super-food blogger Susan Russo and co-author Brett Cohen. It is a small, black book that had me instantly intrigued. You see, my hubby, does no...

I love Dorie for exactly the reasons you describe - she does not act like a big important famous writer. She has taken the time to comment on my blog, respond to my comments on hers and will actually interact with you on Twitter (she walked me through a pâte brisée recently!). She is kind and giving and an amazing writer. If I were a quarter as good a writer as she is I would be happy...

Once upon a story: A lady named Dorie....
This is not a book review. If you want to read a book review of "Around my French Table" by Dorie Greenspan, then use Google. There are a million reviews and the book just made the New York Times bestseller list and it is Amazon's number one cookbook of 2010. My verdict on the book: BUY IT. ...
That is absolutely amazing!!!

My essay included in BEST FOOD WRITING 2010!!!!!
I am so honored and so pleased to announce that my essay, Does a recipe need to be complicated to be good, was selected for BEST FOOD WRITING 2010. It really says something when a blog post is worthy of being included in a such an esteemed collection! I got a copy of the book in my hands. ...
