Jan 3, 2012 – Quick shot today. I was out on the road all day and running like mad to get home and gt a few things done before I have to head out and teach a class that I’d forgotten started tonight. A yummy keylime bar for you all. Keylime Squares Ingredients: Crust 1-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/4…
Read more »It’s “Soup Sunday” again, and my inspiration came from someone else’s (Afton’s) recently posted soup recipe. We had a pretty empty cupboard so a trip to Granville Island was in order. It goes something like this: olive oil 6 russet potatoes 3 heads of garlic 2 or 3 large leeks 8 cups chicken stock 2 really good quality black forest…

I’m not much of a breakfast person, I’ve been trying harder lately. Kirk on the other hand, is definitely a breakfast person, and he loves cereal. I started making granola shortly after I started making yogurt regularly, they sort of go hand in hand. I have a basic recipe that I start from and add variations depending on what’s currently…

305/365 (Nov 1, 2011) – Gads I love this stuff. Takes a bit of work but every mouthful is worth the effort! As the weather gets colder and the days get darker I usually bring “Soup Sundays” back. This was lunch today, leftover from Sunday’s big pot, and another reason I love making soup – lunches for a few days!…

283/365 (Oct 10, 2011) – Ahhhh Thanksgiving….it’s the one holiday that really is so much about food. Comfort food. Turkey (or ham, or goose), root vegetables, pumpkin pie. Or, in our case a twist on the traditional – pumpkin cheesecake instead. ____ Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake (sort of a combination of a couple of different recipes) Crust: 2/3 cup flour 3…

53/365 (February 22, 2011) – This is a dangerous machine. It makes a mean cappuccino, a fabulous latte, and a great espresso. All at the push of a button. I had more or less given up coffee…this brought me back to the Dark Side.

154/365 (June 3, 2010) – Do you know what the best part of this photo is? (Besides the fact that I get to eat what’s in it) This banana bread is baked in my grandmother’s bread tins. Probably about 75 years old, and still going strong in my kitchen. Now that’s getting back to basics! No strange chemicals coating these…

70/365 (March 11, 2010) – Today is cold, rainy, and generally crappy outside. On days like this I like nothing better than a warm cup of tea and some warming comfort food. So I’m thinking Indian curry for dinner….. or maybe a yummy Mulligatawny soup… oh yes… that’s it, the best of both worlds, soup AND curry! I have a…

Oh wow. Totally ignore those pumpkin bars I wrote about a few days ago. I mean, they are OK…. but this, this is amazing. Pumpkin Gingerbread. It’s a quickbread loaf and it is totally scrumptious. You don’t even need butter on it, at least not when it is freshly cooled. So if you have a can of pumpkin in the…
